Swedish heavy rockers Besvärjelsen are back with a brand new single "Digerliden," whose runtime is the perfect marriage of driving doom and straightforward rock.
"The title 'Digerliden' takes its name from a place in Sweden's Dalecarlian Finnmark which roughly translates as 'the dire suffering', which relates to the hardship that its ancestral people endured while trying to survive and grow crops in its vast forests and mountains," said guitarist and vocalist Andreas Baier. "It is a magical and mysterious please, and its native folk music was a well of inspiration for this song."
"The lyrics deal with people in love who hate themselves. After watching Alice In Chains' MTV Unplugged, I was very inspired by the way their harmonies work and the kind of numb yet powerful melodies," added said vocalist Lea Amling Alazam. "I also felt a bit of a need for an Arabic harmony, so I wanted to find a way to combine grunge and Middle Eastern influences."
Besvärjelsen will release their new record Atlas on May 27. Pre-orders are available here.
