As they gear up to release their long-awaited third album Bauta on March 13 via Playground Music, Ondt Blod return with another electrifying new single, “Flamma,” featuring Ida Maria as guest vocalist. “Flamma” is Ondt Blod’s emo power ballad, soaked in lost love and late nights on LimeWire in 2007. It’s a song for dreamers, losers, and lovers who refuse to let go, even if the glory days feel long gone. Melancholic yet anthemic, it captures a different shade of the band’s emotional spectrum. Ida Maria, one of Norway’s most iconic and charismatic rock voices, lends her unmistakable presence to the track. The band are proud to have her on board, and her performance adds both grit and vulnerability to the song’s soaring chorus. Listen to “Flamma” here. Though best known for their thunderous guitars and desperate screams, Ondt Blod aren’t afraid to dive headfirst into emo territory. Produced by Yngve Andersen (Blood Command) and mixed by Simon Jackman, “Flamma” expands the band’s sonic palette while retaining their raw edge. With their signature blend of hardcore urgency and massive, hook-driven rock melodies, Ondt Blod have long been considered the pride of Sør-Varanger. From the Spellemann-nominated milestones Finnmark (2016) and Natur (2018) to relentless touring across Europe and Japan, the band have built their reputation on defiance, identity, and unfiltered emotional force, and Bauta promises to take that even further. Ondt Blod has been active since 2013 and consists of: Aslak Heika Hætta Bjørn on vocals, Håvard Sotkajærvi Rushfeldt on drums, Jørgen Store Johansen on bass, Alexander Mortensen on guitar and John Nilsen on guitar. |
