SUNKINDLING: FEVERSEA’S HYMN FOR A WORLD IN COLLAPSE

Man was meant to replace God as the universal measure. The events of the 20th and 21st centuries, however, have brutalized the creature once known as Man beyond recognition. There is no going back. We are left with an erased image, a misnomer—a sacred animal wasting away in a profane world. Man is both insufficient and irreplaceable.

“Man Under Erasure”, the debut album from the Oslo-based band Feversea will be released on May the 23^rd, and the first song to be unveiled from the album is “Sunkindling”, out on April the 4^th. It can be streamed and downloaded here:

This is what the band has to say about it:
Teetering between the brutal and the beautiful, between anxiety and acceptance, “Sunkindling” is the first single from Feversea’s debut album, “Man Under Erasure”. Part psalm, part primal scream, it invites us to contemplate, resist, or submit to the cycle of birth and death—the giving of bodies into a world that is ending. What once gave meaning to mankind—the concepts and images of our place in the world—is wasting away into nothing, pulling us with it.

The song is built around rhythmic shifts between a crushing 4/4 and an anxious 7/8, culminating in a ritualistic, tom-driven outro centered on a repeating vocal mantra. The voice provides a musical counterweight to the riffs—a multi-layered melody over chugging guitars, and an animalistic scream over soaring leads.

Feversea is a post-metal band from Oslo, Norway drawing on influences from black metal, sludge metal and shoegaze. Their music lies in the intersection where the ferocity of black metal meets with ritualistic and ethereal soundscapes. Musically, their debut album “Man Under Erasure” draws from various forms of metal while incorporating influences from neofolk and post-punk. The album is melancholic, despairing, and cathartic. Haunting and melodic while maintaining a strong sense of structure with recognizable riffs—an element often lacking in atmosphere-driven music.

Fluctuating between song and scream, the voice is both from beyond and from below. Lyrically, it is deeply personal but delivered through impersonal images, parables, and riddles—like a spiritualist or Orphic medium carrying messages from beyond. A muffled scream buried under several inches of ice. The album begins in sardonic despair and ends with uneasy, desperate acceptance.

The band’s lineup of Ada Lønne Emberland on vocals, Isak Lønne Emberland on guitars and synthesizers, Alexander Fossen Lange on guitars, Aleksander Johnsen Solberg on bass guitar and Jeremie Malezieux on drums recorded the album at Evil Octopus Studios with Isak Lønne Emberland as producer, mixer and mastering engineer, with cover and sleeve design by Isak Lønne Emberland. “Man Under Erasure” has the following track list:

1. Man Under Erasure
2. Murmur Within the Skull of God
3. New Creatures Replace Our Names
4. Decider
5. Sunkindling
6. Invocation
7. Until It Goes Away
8. Kindred Spirit

“Man Under Erasure” will be available CD, Digital and LP formats, and can now be pre-ordered at:

“Man Under Erasure” is a musical exploration of this new, uncertain universe, where the last remnants of humanist hopes and dreams have been reduced to embers—barely legible carvings etched into eroding earth. Our trust in ourselves has been misplaced. Everything we ever knew will be erased.
