ACÂRASH, whose lineup comprises Sølve Sæther on drums, Lukas Paulsen on guitars and Anlov P. Mathiesen on bass and vocals, was formed in Oslo in the fall of 2016. It is a lineup that embraces tradition and is able to take the varied influences its individual members have gleaned from being part of bands such as LONELY KAMEL, ZECTION8, FAUSTUS and DEEP REST, in order to create a sound that is fresh and distinctly theirs.
By seamlessly blending hard rock, doom and black metal, ACÂRASH creates soundscapes in which esoteric poetry and ritualistic contemplation are central to the music. And, with “In Chaos Becrowned”, the band demonstrates a marked ability to reinvent, whilst at the same time preserve, in order to deliver a record that explores and develops the boundaries of rock and metal, and naturally alternates between raw catchiness, dark introspection, and progressive playfulness.
ACÂRASH’s next live appearance will be the Release Concert for “In Chaos Becrowned”, which will be held on the 22nd June at Krøsset in Oslo.
