Skybrudd

Skybrudd delivers dark, melancholic music with a relentless live performance.
The Norwegian band invites the audience adventurous journey through dark catacombs with their heavy, sluggish rhythms and hard-hitting vocals. further into inhospitable groves where hard, piercing riffs and sinister lyrics bear witness of pain and suffering, before one is finally guided towards the light – a transient where alluring harmonies mask the trauma. All while still reminding you that the worst is yet to come.

Skybrudd´s soundscape can best be described as a melting pot where doom, sludge, black metal and all that is dark and malevolent is merged into a massive, heavy and dark matter. The music comes across as immense and complex, but is simultaneously comprehensible and captivating. The characteristics of their sound is the unorthodox use of symphonic percussion instruments, such as a gran cassa, timpani and a symphonic gong. This adds a whole new deeper dimension of force and punch to the soundscape as well as opening the door to a colossal and vast ambience, which puts Skybrudd in a category of its own.
