NOVARUPTA
This is much more than a band.
Novarupta is the highly ambitious project of Alex Stjernfeldt (Let Them Hang, ex- The Moth Gatherer), where his mission was, and still is, to cleanse his soul and mind with post metal soundscapes, crushing riffs and oppressive heft, while gathering an elite of Swedish vocalist, each one of them performing on their own song. How the hell is this even manageable?
The crown of the cake for Høstsabbat, is that we have this non-live band performing the whole thing, with all vocalists present. This happened once, at HUS 7 in Stockholm, and lucky for us, Alex is bringing the whole circus to Oslo next October.
Guest vocalists star from Tomas Liljedahl (Breach / TOW / The Old Wind), Martin Wegeland (Domkraft), Jonas A. Holmberg (This Gift is A Curse), Mikael Stanne (Dark Tranquility), Jørgen Sandstrøm (ex-Entombed, ex-Grave) and the list goes on.
The album “Disillusioned Fire”, out on Suicide Records, have made some serious waves in the post-rock/metal community as one of the absolute highlights of 2019, and the future for Novarupta looks more than bright.
It’s with humble gratitude we are able to welcome this 12-piece (!!) to the Chapel stage at Høstsabbat 2020.
