Jointhugger Sign to Majestic Mountain; Two Releases Coming in 2021

I’m going to assume that one of Jointhugger‘s two impending offerings is a new album and one is a short release. Maybe a split? I don’t know that, but that’s kind of what I figure. Putting out two completely concurrent full-lengths doesn’t really make any sense — and don’t get me wrong, nothing makes any sense right now, but still — and in signing to Majestic Mountain the trio have a slew of potential splitmates to choose among, so yeah. Maybe that. Or maybe not. You know I’m just talking out my ass here.

Either way, if you heard Jointhugger‘s 2020 debut, I am No One (review here), first of all, good for you, and second, there’s probably no mystery as to my Majestic Mountain Records would want to snag the band for their not one but two upcoming releases. It was and remains these tumultuous months later a nodder’s delight.

Whatever 2021 brings from the band, their alliance with Majestic Mountain is welcome news. I’m always a sucker for good bands getting signed.

JOINTHUGGER sign to MAJESTIC MOUNTAIN RECORDS

With two releases in the pipeline for next year, 2021 is about to get a whole lot heavier!

Majestic Mountain Records – home to the likes of Saint Karloff, Electric Hydra and The King’s Pistol – is psyched to announce the signing of Nordic doomsmen, Jointhugger.

Hailing from the fjords of Norway, Jointhugger are an explosive trio that instantly bring to mind the cosmic doom and atmospheres of rock colossi such as Shrinebuilder, Sleep and YOB. Having first came to the label’s attention back in April 2019, it was until a year later and the release of their storming debut, I Am No One, that Majestic Mountain Records simply had to act. As Marco Berg explains:

“When the label first formed, we held early talks with Jointhugger about their demo (DAEMO, 2019), but we were so busy setting up our initial projects it proved impossible to get something sorted. Now however the stars have finally aligned and we’re ready to make magic together at last.”

Lead singer Nico concurs, “Joining the ranks alongside bands like Saint Karloff and The King’s Pistol, whom we admire and already have great relationships with, is like being welcomed home to an astonishing family. We couldn’t be happier about signing.”

“We thank Marco for his mentorship and belief in our music from the very beginning, and are beyond grateful that the stars have finally aligned for our homecoming,” says the band. “We’re beyond honoured to be among acts who mean a great deal to us a humans and as musicians and our hearts overflow with kinship, positivity and gratitude. We thank Jack at Interstellar Smoke Records for releasing our debut, we have so much goodness in store for you, and we will continue to write and play with all our might in thanks to all of you who have given us a platform by supporting us and showing continued interest in the noise we’re making. This is our dream and you’re making it come true.”

With two releases planed for the first half of next year, 2021 promises to be a year of progression. A chance to lay waste to the turbulence of the world over the last twelve months and celebrate something new; heavier and more hopeful than before.

Await the call, the hour of Jointhugger is nigh.

Jointhugger are:
Nico – Guitar/vox
Tore – Bass
Dan – Drums
