Truckfighters Fuzz Festival #4: Skraeckoedlan, Saint Karloff & Hästspark
Following up on a first announcement that brought confirmations for Valley of the Sun, Khan making the trip from Australia, Kaiser, Dark Ocean Circle and Tidal Wave, Sweden’s Truckfighters have added three more bands to the bill for this Fall’s Truckfighters Fuzz Festival #4, to be held Nov. 10 and 11 at Debaser Strand and Bar Brooklyn — they’re part of the same building; it’s a cool setup — in Stockholm.
First among the newcomers is Skraeckoedlan, who this past weekend announced their new single “The Vermillion Sky” would be released on Aug. 17 as the first glimpse of their fourth record to be issued sometime presumably on the earlier end of 2024. The band’s last full-length was 2019’s Eorþe (review here), and they’ve begun to drop hints about concepts and storylines flowing through and between the records, so yes, I’m very much looking forward to hearing it. Sometimes waiting is hard.
Saint Karloff, the Norwegian doom rockers who issued their Paleolithic War Crimes (review here) sophomore long-player in June through Majestic Mountain, will also play, and Sweden-based heavy rockers Hästspark, who are new to me, round out the announcement. Hästspark re-released their 2020 debut, Jötunn, last year with their new drummer.
I put that record down at the bottom of the post for you to check out if you haven’t — I know you’re cooler than I am, but nobody can hear everything — and will of course keep an eye for more word from the fest as we get closer. Another announcement, maybe two, and they should be set, and November will be here before you know it.
