This post is the first I’ve heard of Law of All, and I note that because it’s the kind of thing I may end up wanting to remember later. The Norwegian up-and-coming fuzz troupe — and who knew Norway would be home to a heavy boom in the 2020s? probably Norway — are among the latest adds from Oslo’s Høstsabbat, and the first impression was striking enough that I’ve included the embed of their EP below along with the festival’s Spotify playlist. There’s a lot to dig about it, and they’re still just part of the announcement.

Morpholith have a new record on the way, which is great news for anybody in need of a good crushing, and Ole Rokseth of SÂVER, Hymn, etc., joins on with the all-lowercase experimental project under aapen himmel, which is sure to be a trip. Rounded out by the doom-worshipping doom of Dread Witch, the latest batch of names for this October’s Høstsabbat emphasizes the character of the fest, the diversification of sound that’s been happening since it’s inception, and this year’s particular drive toward exploring new ideas and sounds while keeping a firm foundation in volume and impact. That church is gonna rumble.

From the old socials:

Time for another batch of artists!

Todays announcement is heavily focused on fresh and exciting acts, set to set the bar for the future afar.

Verkstedet will of course see crazy talent tearing the place apart this year as well. As every year. While some of you were sobbing when Queens of the Stone Age cancelled their Oslo appearance some weeks ago, you can get your grin back.

Law of All is coming.

This band do their rock so vital and fresh, with the perfect dosage of sassy coolness, it´s weird to acknowledge they´re local.

We are stoked to finally have them on the lineup, and show you what the fuzz is all about.

Next up is our first ever band to come visit from Iceland.

The land where everything looks doom, wether you like it or not.

Morpholith has been leading the way in the growing doom scene in Reykjavik for years, and we are dead stoked to se their mammoth wall of sound rattle the Crypt. The first single from their upcoming album «Dystopian Distributions of Mass Produced Narcotics» dropped yesterday.

I guess the title speak for itself.

This will be massive!

UNDER AAPEN HIMMEL is probably unknown to most of you.

This is the brand new project of Oslo-based musician Ole Ulvik Rokseth.

His fingers has been involved in countless projects over the years and he sure has made an impact on the Oslo underground.

under aapen himmel blends his love for electronics, raw heaviness and experimental gloom to a crisp mixture with a strong signature.

Its all about cherry picking the very best of all elements. making them shine like glowsticks.

Dread Witch – There´s band name you can take notice of right away.

These Danish maniacs will riff the church apart with their exploding chugs, guttural screams, apocalyptic darkness and an otherwordly sense for the delicate extreme.

The Danish way.

We are psyched to bring these guys to Norway for the first time.

Watch out for the next announcement soon – and be sure to secure your ticket.

PS! Festival ticket prices will slightly increase as soon as all our bands for 2024 are unveiled.
