“Introvert”, the third studio album from Norway’s SLEGEST, is brimming over with the kind of tasty riffs and catchy hooks that reach out of the speakers and grab the attention of classic heavy rock fans. Combine that with the essence of Black Metal, and you get the unmistakable, genre-straddling, trademark SLEGEST sound.
With its release scheduled for the 16th November on Dark Essence Records, a second track from the album has been revealed. Titled ” Blodets Varme Gjennom Meg”, frontman and founder Ese describes the song as:
A soaring track of heavy rock with a grand finale. Perfect for driving. Lyrically it deals with intoxication, not as perfect for driving but very good for music and overall feeling in body and soul. For me the 80’s vibe is strong on this one, and it has nods to old Rush and even Åge Aleksandersen himself.
” Blodets Varme Gjennom Meg” can be heard below and also on YouTube at https://youtu.be/hXPlgQnZoGI and Bandcamp at http://slegest.bandcamp.com/track/blodets-varme-gjennom-meg
