ARV (NO)

The Oslo underground has been as thriving as ever, even during the pandemic. One of the better new outlets as a result of this is ARV. This post-metal five-piece is going at its full throttle and has made its mark in the live scene over the past months.

They clearly have their minds set on not paving their way silently.

ARV caters to lovers of intensifying chugs, caustic screams and creative drum patterns, all seamlessly combined with expansive ambience and more mellow, cinematic passages. ARV is fronted by legendary ex-Kollwitz Frederik Hillestad, always serving the audience the most ferocious vocals and a stage presence unmatched.

A physical release has seen yet to see the light of day, but those who have witnessed this band perform live know they are a sleeping giant and a shining light in the darkest of nights.

ARV is here to destroy, no prisoners taken.

(We’re eagerly waiting for the first recording to be released. Until then this is a live bomb you don’t want to miss)
