Label: WormholeDeath Records
Release Date: December 8, 2024
Format: Digital, CD
Genre: Death Metal, Death Core, Symphonic Black Metal, Thrash, Groove

The album "Hunchback Hatred" by Eternal Returns offers a deep dive into complex themes of self-awareness, mind games, cultural reflections, and notions of revenge. It's a nine-song journey that artistically portrays societal issues and the human condition. The band metaphorically depicts society as a collapsing vertebral column, driven by pervasive hatred. This album is not just a musical exploration, but also a narrative on the struggles and resilience of the human spirit, set against a backdrop of powerful death metal and symphonic black metal influences.

Line-up: Narendra Patel - Vocals and Lyrics, Harsh Makwana - Guitars and Composition, Shankul Chavan - Guitars, Vocals, Production, Viktor Litvinov - Drums

Tidstyv Det Blir Bra Til Slutt Radio Impact: 1 March 2024 Release: 1 March 2024

 

TIDSTYV - DET BLIR BRA TIL SLUTT
MARCH 1st

Tidstyv (eng: Time Thief)  is undoubtedly one of Norway's most exciting and up-and-coming rock bands at the moment!

March 1, 2024, Tidstyv is ready to take on the European rock scene when the band finally release their highly anticipated debut album  “Det Blir Bra Til Slutt” (eng: It Will Be Fine in the End)

After only a year and a half in existence and 6 singles released, the band has already caught the attention of several of Norway’s biggest venues and festivals and has been booked for an extensive Norwegian tour with over 20 live dates even before the debut album is dropped.
Checkpoint Charlie Stavanger recently described Tidstyv as; "One of the country's most exciting rock bands at the moment."

With "Det Blir Bra Til Slutt" Tidstyv finally puts an end to a process that has taken blood, sweat, frustration, and tears. The album is an ode to everyday life, the party, relationships, and the conditions they find themselves in, with intensity, laughter, self-reflection, and humor.

With this massively strong debut album, Tidstyv shows no limitations to one genre as they beautifully mix elements of metal, rock, pop, and punk into something entirely unique that will surprise and engage the listener!



FFO: Oslo Ess, Royal Blood, Foo Fighters, Rival Sons, The Dogs, Span, Blomst


Tidstyv states:
" ’Det Blir Bra Til Slutt' takes us on a musical rollercoaster ride about life and functions almost like a life coach on steroids, addressing everything from the best to the worst moments. 
The album explores themes such as being in a relationship more complicated than assembling IKEA furniture without instructions – challenging, but also at times very rewarding. 
'Det Blir Bra Til Slutt' is like a musical best friend who gives you a high five when you need it the most, and a virtual hug when life is a bit too heavy. 
So, put on the record, sit back, turn the volume to 11, and let Tidstyv be your musical therapist for the next hour!
Who knew self-reflection could be so cool? "


TIDSTYV IS:
Hanne Rye – Vocals
Marcus Greenway – Guitar
Marius Storm Trælstad – Guitar
Pål Magne Lillerovde - Bass
Christian Gathe – Drums


ABOUT:
With traditional roots in Norway's idyllic western region, critically acclaimed Tidstyv is speeding ahead as they deliver a catchy and uninhibited rock package brimming with energy and individuality.

With their frontwoman Hanne Rye, from Nordfjordeid, her dialect gives the band a unique sound rarely heard in rock. 
After their first few released singles, the band was booked for prestigious shows and festivals such as Klubbøya, during the Øyafestivalen 2023, support slots for Bokassa, as well as their own headline shows at numerous of the country's best venues.

The band has also received numerous positive reviews for their singles and live performances from big Norwegian music media outlets such as Ballade, Musikknyheter, and Dagsavisen.

March 1, 2024, the highly anticipated debut album "Det Blir Bra Til Slutt" finally sees the light of day.
