Legendary Norwegian band Arabrot have announced the details of their seventh studio release. The Gospel will be released on 26th February. As if Arabrot alone weren't enough, the band have also unveiled a series of exciting sounding guest appearances on the album including Ted Parsons (Killing Joke, Swans, Prong), Andrew Liles (Current 93/Nurse With Wound), Stephen O'Malley (Sunn O)), KTL) and Erlend Hjelvik (Kvelertak).
The album's production falls in to the hands of the legendary Steve Albini and will be released via Fysisk Format.
The seventh studio release from Arabrot actually came under some jeopardy after Kjetil Nernes visited the Doctor's who found a malignant cancer in his throat. The vast majority of the content on this album was written by Nernes as he underwent surgery and treatment to which he's commented: "The theme of the Gospel is a vision of the lonely warrior on a summit looking out over a battle field, the smoke from the bomb craters, an all-encompassing silence. The war was against one self; against the ugliness, against the sickness. You sink to the bottom of the sea. All of a sudden you are back on the surface again, stupefied. And hungry! A wicked hunger for everything human life has to offer: Sex! War! Drugs! You breathe, but not like before. "The man who has been in hell, never forget""
