Swedish black metal act Svederna's second full length titled Svedjeland is only two weeks away from its release date. Carnal Records will be unleashing it on both CD and LP formats on 20th April.
The band states: "The title is a Swedish idiom referring to someone/something deriving from evil. The lyrics concern the way every part of our western society is commercialized at the cost of human connection and originality. Rulers and corporations use every method available to penetrate our minds, bodies and souls with their messages and products. Our misdirected focus on quick and hollow virtual existence makes us alienated and lost. The passionate music and lyrics of the track reflects this total disgust of corporate society, and the solution is clear: follow your own path, make your own law."
The album was recorded in the remote forests of their native Värmland in midwinter, Svedjeland delivers fierce and relentless black metal with its feet firmly rooted in the heavy metal grounds. Svederna moves swiftly between distant forests and urban landscapes, always along its own path with a clear anti-establishment stance. Sustaining the quintessence of the 90s Scandinavian black metal sound, Svederna also combines this with the wild energy of underground rock'n'roll and aggressive punk. The sound of the group mixes violent and intense parts with melodic and epic riffs and a fair amount of thrash metal, simply made for headbanging.
Svederna considers central Sweden to be its home, with its members residing both in the city and in the wilderness. Svederna formed in the summer of 2012 and immediately began work on their debut album Äntra which was released in June 2013 on homemade cassette with distribution through Carnal Records.
