Info
Born Again Concerts and George’s Grim Gigs present Årabrot plus support.
Formed in Haugesund, Norway, in the early 2000s, Årabrot first developed around Kjetil Nernes, with Vidar Evensen and Jon Øvstedal, in a style mixing noise rock, sludge metal, doom and post-punk. The band has built its path on abrasive, tense and often minimalist music, where massive guitars meet a marked taste for repetitive structures, dark atmospheres and writing influenced by literary and philosophical references.
After the first albums Rogues Gallery in 2003, Proposing a Pact with Jesus in 2005 and Rep.Rep in 2006, Årabrot continued with The Brother Seed in 2009, Revenge in 2010, Solar Anus in 2011 and a self-titled album in 2013. Over the years, the project has focused around Kjetil Nernes, with the regular participation of Karin Park and Stian Skagen, while Årabrot’s aesthetic has opened up to more melodic and gothic forms without leaving its rough base. This evolution can be heard in particular on The Gospel in 2016, Who Do You Love in 2018, Norwegian Gothic in 2021 and Of Darkness and Light in 2023.
Årabrot has also played in varied contexts, from rock venues to performances around silent films and commissions for arts institutions.
