With the promise of a new album on the horizon, it is with much pleasure that we welcome DÖDSRIT back to Roadburn’s lineup! This Sweden-via-The Netherlands group of suffering celebrants will return to make their mark on the 2024 edition of the festival. Having done exactly that back in 2022, witnessed by a heaving mass of Roadburners, we already know this news will be met with grim euphoria.
Dödsrit tell us:
“Our hearts burn with vigour and ecstasy as we proudly share that we’ll be a part of Roadburn once again. It’s an honour beyond words to return to one of the most groundbreaking festivals that have felt like a second home to some of us, even before the formation of Dödsrit. Our performance at the 2022 edition has been an unforgettable experience for us, and kindled the nocturnal flame within that has been glowing and growing fiercer with each passing day. We can’t wait to unleash this flame in its purest most uncompromised form and set Roadburn’s stage ablaze! May the flame be seen, the roaring darkness be heard and our catharsis be felt by you all this coming April!”
Whilst exact release details are still under wraps, we do know that Dödsrit tracked new material at the legendary Fascination Street studios this summer for their upcoming fourth full length album – due in the spring. And if their past material is a marker of what we can expect then a hefty delivery of soaring, melancholic black metal is heading our way in 2024. Consider us invested, and consider us overjoyed to be welcoming this most vital band back to the Roadburn enclave.
