Release Date: 23.01.2026
Format: CD/LP/Digital
Genre: Noise Rock, Hardcore Jazz
Country: Sweden

Backengrillen come from Umeå and carry long histories in hardcore punk, extreme metal, noise and free jazz. Members have been involved in projects such as Refused, INVSN, Fire Orchestra, The International Noise Conspiracy and several radical jazz formations. This new ensemble gathers that background into a confrontational platform rooted in antifascist politics and raw expression, dedicated to the memory of Lars Lystedt.

“Backengrillen” is a debut album built on urgency and instinct. The material was written, played live and captured within the same week, and that compressed timeline defines the sound. Ideas are pushed hard, allowed to erode, and then shattered into rough fragments. Riffs circle until their shape collapses, rhythms grind forward without comfort, and the overall impact stays abrasive and restless. The album speaks in blunt gestures, with little concern for polish or refinement.


Lyrically and conceptually, the album draws from self loathing, social decay and open hostility toward authority. Titles like “A Hate Inferior” and “Socialism Or Barbarism” reflect a worldview rooted in confrontation and refusal. There is a heavy sense of provocation running through the album, tied closely to punk ethics and free form chaos. The result sounds confrontational, ugly by design, and intentionally exhausting.

Across its runtime, the album keeps pressing forward with minimal relief. Themes return in warped forms, often stretched until they collapse under their own pressure. This approach gives the album a raw honesty, though it can also blur individual moments into a single mass of sound. Listeners familiar with extreme hybrids of metal, noise and jazz will recognize the language, even when it turns inward and abrasive.

“Backengrillen” stands as a harsh introduction to a new project that values impulse over refinement. It documents a band in its earliest violent spark, capturing ideas before they are shaped or restrained. As a debut, it communicates attitude and intent clearly, even when its rough nature limits long term depth.

Score: 6.0
