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 good, 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 ready to deliver surprises for months if not years to come. If there is any justice, "Till Glömskan Ad Oblivionem" should make Besvärjelsen as famous as the iconic wooden Dala horses that every tourist who visits the country takes home to put on their shelves.

Besvärjelsen were co-founded by guitarists and vocalists Andreas Bajer and Staffan Vinrot in 2014. Their musical vision was based on the idea to channel the spirit and traditions of the vast Dalarna forests, where Germanic gods and the spirit world of finno-ugric shamans met, into a contemporary urban context. With "Till Glömskan Ad Oblivionem", Besvärjelsen have conjured \u2018Into Oblivion\u2019 twice, in both Swedish and Latin, but the spellbinding five-piece also deliver a cathartic rock album that will rank among the finest heavy releases of the genre and beyond in 2026.
