With their impressive, “kvlt cred” line-up, Nordjevel (Eng. Northern Devil) deliver icy cold Norwegian Black Metal able to chill any spine with its dark work of evil. Exceptional vocals on brilliant and brutal instrumentals. Words like devilish, barbarous, sinister, gritty, catchy, and captivating have been used to describe their music. While the band is writing yet another masterpiece full-length, the EP “Fenriir” will shorten the wait.
The five-track EP, which will hit the streets via Indie Recordings on the 7th May, takes its name from "Fenriir", the monstrous wolf of Norse Mythology. It is not, however, a concept recording, as NORDJEVEL are quick to point out:
"Fenriir" is an EP that shows all sides of NORDJEVEL, from the very beginning, right up to where we are now. We had a few extra tracks which we decided early on in the recording process didn`t fit our upcoming album, so we decided to include two tracks, the title track "Fenriir", along with "Rovdyr", and make them exclusively available for this EP.
To make the release more special, we also decided to record " Gnawing The Bones" which is one of the new songs that will be on the upcoming album. We also wanted to include a live track, so we mixed and mastered a version of " Det Ror Og Ror" which was recorded live at Brutal Assault in 2019 by Hugo Alvarstein.
And, of course, we couldn't miss the opportunity to record a cover of "Fallen Angel" by the mighty POSSESSED. It is our tribute to them as the pioneers they are for our music, and also to honour them after we had the pleasure of touring with them last year.”
NORDJEVEL's lineup on "Fenriir" includes Doedsadmiral on Vocals, Destructhor and Valla on Guitars, Dzepticunt on Bass and Dominator on Drums. Vocals, bass and guitars were recorded at Velvet Recording, Spydeberg, Norway, by Nordjevel and Christer Krogh, whilst drums recorded at Studio LV5 in Sundsvall, Sweden.
With Artwork and layout by Doedsadmiral and long-time collaborator Khaos Diktator Design, "Fenriir" will be available in CD, Digital and Vinyl formats.
This EP shows all sides of Nordjevel, from the start until where the band is now.

Starting off with a killer debut in 2015, Nordjevel entered the black metal scene like a freezing storm and quickly became a force to be reckoned with. Founded by Doedsadmiral, the band has changed the line-up several times, but ended on the previous album “Necrogenesis” up with the mighty line-up that is Nordjevel today. In few years, the band and their audience has grown fast. With raving reviews and top scores on their short discography of 2 albums and 1 EP, the bar is set high for the coming releases. No doubt these masters of Black Metal will deliver!
A new full-length album is on the horizon for late 2021, and the EP “Fenriir” will be out via Indie Recordings on May 7!
