\"\"Do you ever hear a punk song and think, \u201cSure, I\u2019d also like to overthrow the establishment, but couldn\u2019t you learn to play guitar a bit better?\u201d Have you ever found yourself embarrassed to be banging your head to a sick black metal riff written and performed by one of the world\u2019s most repugnant lowlifes? Yes. So have thousands of our brethren in every squat and co-op from Greece to Iceland; and as is their wont, they have taken matters into their own grubby hands, pressing a huge variety of records that radiate out from the collision of metal and hardcore in every hue and shade, from the bilious How Hate is Hard to Define to the cerulean Archivist. Rosa Faenskap, unsurprisingly, fit themselves into the long-wavelength end of that rainbow.<\/p>\n

Practicing a particularly dark and frostbitten form of Euro-Lefty-Black-Hardcore, Rosa Faenskap find themselves between the vicious pallor of Thurm and the sanguine rage of Svalbard, on occasion reflecting a few fleeting tones from the early Plebeian Grandstand records. Emil Vestre grinds out icy tremolo leads as jagged as they come, crashing and crackling in coupled cacaphony with vocalist H\u00e5vard Solli\u2019s snarling bass; in the pre-breakdown chug and pick-scrape of \u201cFaenskap for alltid,\u201d you\u2019d swear you were standing six feet away from their amplifier in a damp Oslo basement. Drummer Anders Jansvik\u2019s performance is likewise big and booming. Whatever the trio might lack, it\u2019s not energy.<\/p>\n

Ingenting Forblir by Rosa Faenskap<\/a><\/p>\n

Though Rosa Faenskap are pretty green, this sophomore record is remarkably focused, holding its space through force and fury, hammering a few riffs as harshly as possible before their close. \u201cDen Svake Mannen\u201d rides a rung-out arpeggio so continuously that you can still hear it when Vestre switches over to tremolos, but I\u2019m never disappointed to hear them return to it halfway through the song. \u201cFaenskap for Alltid\u201d pursues a more straightforward black metal at first, expertly executing a couple of stock tremolo metal riffs with a panache that I\u2019m surprised to hear outside of a Spectral Wound record before the band shift from blackened to bruising, stomping through a breakdown and proclaiming \u201cfaenskap for alltid!\u201d again and again.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ingenting Forblir\u2019s success stands in part on the band\u2019s canny writing, but is far more indebted to its quality of sound. The record\u2019s production and mix, handled by the band in collaboration with Oskar Johnsen Ryd and Torfinn Sommerfeldt Lysne, respects the vitality of the material, sounding live and livid. My only complaint is that Jansvik\u2019s drums can get buried during busy sections, in part due to a muffled snare tone. Despite a low-DR master, the record is dynamic where it needs to be; when the band leave Vestre alone and pensive with their guitar, the quiet registers, and I feel myself slipping a bit closer in towards the record.<\/p>\n

\u201cJeg V\u00e5kner Snart\u201d closes Ingenting Forblir as the band\u2019s most ambitious and successful song, layering tremolo leads over gang vocals, retreating into quiet, reverberating melody, and ending in a boiling conflagration of noise. For a sophomore record leaner and meaner than the band\u2019s 2023 debut, it\u2019s just the right ending. Ingenting Forblir hardly breaks new musical ground, but Rosa Faenskap\u2019s sour determination will likely propel it into my regular listening rotation this year. In practice, I might not be up for faenskap for alltid, but I\u2019ll happily recommend faenskap for lenge.<\/p>\n
