Background information about 'Till Glömskan Ad Oblivionem'

Swedes are supposed to be cool, and musically, Besvärjelsen sure live up to that stereotype in the best possible way. What the self-proclaimed forest rockers deliver on their third full-length "Till Glömskan Ad Oblivionem" is so damn infectious, in fact, that it's a hot early candidate for rock album of the year. The 'forest rock' moniker is the Swedes' tongue-in-cheek answer to the term 'desert rock', which stylistically provides a great starting point to describe their musical brand. Add exceptional vocalist Lea Amling Alazam, who developed her passion for punk and stoner rock at the local skate park when she was just 13 years old, to the band's plethora of riveting hooks and riffs, and you get an album that feels fresh and delivers surprises at every corner.

The album's title translates to "Into Oblivion" in both Swedish and Latin, a fitting name for a record that pulls you deep into its own world. Co-founded by guitarists and vocalists Andreas Bajer and Staffan Vinrot in 2014, Besvärjelsen channel the spirit and traditions of the vast Dalarna forests — where Germanic gods and finno-ugric shamanic traditions met — into a contemporary urban context. With thunderous rhythms, soaring vocal melodies, and riffs that land like a sledgehammer wrapped in velvet, "Till Glömskan Ad Oblivionem" is a cathartic journey that will rank among the finest heavy rock releases of 2026. If there's any justice, this record should make Besvärjelsen as famous as those iconic wooden Dala horses every tourist brings home from Sweden.
