Following the retirement of Refused, Svart Records has announced the upcoming Jan. 23, 026 release of Backengrillen's self-titled debut. The project features Refused members Dennis Lyxzén, Magnus Flagge and David Sandströn, plus saxophonist Mats Gustafsson , who has played with Peter Brötzmann, Jim O'Rourke, Sonic Youth, and more.
Described as "a paean to chaos and destruction. The basic idea is to take a death/doom metal, or noiserock riff and play it until it loses meaning and then break it apart like a ravenous cat would a tiny forest mouse," the band says, sharing that they are already at work on a follow-up album.
Listen to the first single below.
