With inspirations from the resistance movement in Norway during the 2nd World War, the young metal band Sabotør (Saboteur) offers you some hard-hitting and old-school metal.
Formed in 2024 by Rasmus Stenstadvolden Strømberg (bass and vocals), Andreas Remmen (guitar) and Mathilde Solemdal (drums), the trio started slamming out epic metal/punk tracks with the inspiration from bands like English Dogs, Brocas Helm and Warfare. All packed in the theme of the Norwegian resistance movement during the 2nd World War, with lyrics in Norwegian.
Their debut album, “Første Aksjon”, is set to be released on May the 8th. The album was recorded at Formkraft Produksjoner and the album was mixed by Remi André Nygård (Morax/Inculter).
The third single, “Flagget”, is released today on Thursday the 9th of April. You can check out the single here:
Sabotør has this to say about the track:
Based on the text with the same name by the Norwegian poet, soldier, and war correspondent Nordahl Grieg, Flagget tells the story of a wartime flight to Norway during WWII. The crew consisted of Norwegian airmen who flew from Britain to the Norwegian coast on a reconnaissance mission, across the North Atlantic. There, Grieg saw his home country with his own eyes for the first time in years. A machine gunner raised a Norwegian flag made of metal out of the plane and waved it over the fjords to greet the people back home and to spread a message of hope and patriotism in a time of tyranny and repression.

The riffs are rolled in with barbed wire, and each song delivers dynamite, vandalism, espionage and sabotage!
