"Cathedral Light" bruises like Killing Joke and cruises like Queens of the Stone Age; frontman Kjetil Nernes’ snarling vocals are backed by soaring hooks, making for another irreverent and triumphant anthem from this singular band.
Produced by Alain Johannes (QOTSA, PJ Harvey), Of Darkness and Light is the Norwegians’ tenth full-length album. Over its 20-year career, Årabrot has evolved from Swans/The Birthday Party-inspired noise rock, toward a rapturous realm of hard rock. Past achievements include: collabs with Stephen O'Malley of Sunn O))), albums produced by Steve Albini, and winning a Norwegian Grammy.
The band — consisting of Nernes and wife Karin Park, who live and work together in an old church in rural Sweden — state: “In the thick of the pandemic we were stuck in our church, unable to even visit family. Kjetil felt like writing a rock anthem telling the story of a couple — telling our story — living our life in our church, taking part in this mad world, immersed in the beautiful light cast by our big church windows. In the battlefields of Verdun grew trees that cast a specific light referred to as ‘cathedral light’ by the locals. We hope our church light is as deep and beautiful as the cathedral light of Verdun.”
