Feversea, the Norwegian post-metal band with influences from black metal, sludge metal and shoegaze, released a brand new single, “Until It Goes Away”. The single is from the band's debut album, Man Under Erasure, which will be released via Dark Essence Records on 23 May.

Man was meant to replace God as the universal measure. The events of the 20th and 21st centuries, however, have brutalised the creature once known as Man beyond recognition. There is no going back. We are left with an erased image, a misnomer—a sacred animal wasting away in a profane world. Man is both insufficient and irreplaceable.

This is what the band has to say about it: "The second single from Man Under Erasure, 'Until It Goes Away', is a scream of agony. To be an animal is to be in pain. While Man has desperately tried to elevate himself—to escape his base, material, and animalistic existence through language, symbols, technology, and rites—pain ultimately collapses these feeble bulwarks, hurling him back into the confused and lonely state in which he was born. The universe carries no message beyond cold indifference. Built around an angular and dissonant riff, the song occasionally breaks into melodic passages and is the most fast-paced track on the album. This structure ultimately gives way to what can be described as a breakdown before dissolving into a cinematic ending. With perhaps the album’s rawest vocal performance, the voice mirrors the song’s lyrical themes. For us, this is a live favourite, offering a more straightforward and energetic rock ‘n’ roll moment amid the larger, more complex pieces."

Feversea's music lies in the intersection where the ferocity of black metal meets with ritualistic and ethereal soundscapes. Musically, their debut album Man Under Erasure draws from various forms of metal while incorporating influences from neofolk and post-punk. The album is melancholic, despairing, and cathartic. Haunting and melodic while maintaining a strong sense of structure with recognisable riffs—an element often lacking in atmosphere-driven music. Link
