Swedish crust band Bödel has unveiled their latest single, 'Domare och bödel,' as a preview of their debut full-length album. The track highlights the band's aggressive hardcore style, delivered entirely in Swedish. The album, titled 'Dödsbringaren,' is slated for release on January 30.
Bödel, a relatively new name in the international crust scene but composed of seasoned musicians, dropped the single 'Domare och bödel' on streaming platforms. This release serves as an early taste of their upcoming debut album 'Dödsbringaren,' expected later this month.
The band's members bring extensive experience from previous projects, including The Crown, Adept, Pastoratet, Deny, Vänsternäven, The Liptones, and Impious. This background infuses their sound with a sharp, direct aggression honed over years in the hardcore and metal scenes. Swedish media has positioned 'Dödsbringaren' as the group's first major full-length statement, following a series of prior releases and live performances.
' Domare och bödel' embodies a fast-paced, confrontational energy, setting a tone for the album with its raw delivery in Swedish. The full tracklist for 'Dödsbringaren' includes: Extremt Jävla Vansinne, Domare Och Bödel, Döbygd, Skarprättare Jansson, Korsfäst Och Dömd, Dödsbringaren, Inte Ditt Jävla Val, Deprimerad, Stilla Natt, Blodiga Natt, Nio Års Träning I Likgiltighet, and Ängel Af Död.
While Bödel remains lesser-known beyond Sweden, this single and forthcoming album signal their intent to make a bold entry into the wider crust punk landscape, leveraging their collective expertise for an impactful debut.
