Fresh off a European tour with country-mates Kollapse, Danish screamo/hardcore collective Demersal today share a music video for a brand new song off the band’s forthcoming self-titled second album due out on May 10th. Titled “Som Et Barn Mod Dit Bryst”, this new video has premiered at Invisible Oranges who had this to say about the track “It’s not nearly as aggressive as “Lys I Natten,” the first single from Demersal that played more like Demersal were sticking forks into power outlets. Although “Som Et Barn Mod Dit Bryst” begins on a similar note, it’s with a more tempered pace. That pacing eventually comes to a crawl as Demersal lean heavily into screamo and post-rock’s shared roots in quiet-loud dynamics. Watch “Som Et Barn Mod Dit Bryst” music video here. “Som Et Barn Mod Dit Bryst” is the last song on our upcoming self-titled album. Says the band. The song is essentially about the importance of taking part in communities with people you love and trust – whether it be family, music communities, activism, friendship, romantic relationships and so on. The whole album is mainly about facing global crises – climate change, war, extremism and so on. It can seem immensely incomprehensible to figure out what one can do as an individual to make a difference in a global perspective. But one thing we can do is to find comfort and love in the people we trust, as a way of dealing with our world that, in many ways, is slowly decaying. “The video consists of footage from our recent tour with Kollapse in Germany, France and Switzerland. It portrays one of the communities that we value and trust – our band and the scene we’re a part of.”The video consists of footage from our recent tour with Kollapse in Germany, France and Switzerland.

https://demersalband.bandcamp.com/album/demersal Hailing from Odense and Copenhagen, Demersal weave squalls of sound and emotions that reflect the intense frustration that increasingly sweeps the crumbling world. They draw on the dispute of hardcore and anguish of screamo within their sound and align it to blackened post rock contemplation to cast a richly intense but equally cathartic confrontation as chaos and atmospheric intimation unite. Since releasing their debut EP, ‘To Mend A Yellow Wound’, in 2017 and first album ‘Less’ three years later, their sound has taken listeners to the darkest, most troubled depths of life with Demersal venturing such realms with increasing invention and in turn expressive intensity. May 10th sees the release of the band’s self-titled sophomore full-length and their most adventurous, diverse and impacting proposal yet. Demersal has opened up with their most emotionally involving and creatively intrepid venture yet within an album that explores themes of care, vulnerability and togetherness as a way of trying to make sense of our dying world. |
