“Bound To Fall” is available now on all streaming plattforms.
“Black Smoke Rising” takes the band to a new level, building on the strengths of their debut while pushing the sound in a more direct and accessible direction. The album delivers stronger songs, sharper hooks and a tighter overall approach, without losing the darker edge that has defined Gjenferd from the start. Guitars and organ are at the core of the sound, driving solid riffs and catchy vocal lines with a clear pop sensibility beneath the heaviness.
Drawing inspiration from Classic Heavy Rock acts like Black Sabbath and Deep Purple, while embracing modern influences such as Ghost and Hällas, “Black Smoke Rising” marks a confident step forward. Following critical acclaim for their debut — including a #4 spot on the Doom Charts (May 2024) — Gjenferd continues to establish themselves as a powerful force, known for energetic live shows and appearances at festivals like Desertfest Oslo.
