Afargang release "Kom Ned"

Blending Nordic heritage, black metal and using the Hardanger Fiddle to create soundscapes, Afargang are now releasing a brand new song “Kom Ned”. The project, the brainchild of Olav L. Mjelva who is known as Norway’s most renowded fiddler, recently signed to By Norse.

The song is taken of the upcoming album 'Andvake', set for worldwide release on June 13. Pre-orders are available in the By Norse store here.

Olav L. Mjelva comments: “I see “Kom Ned” as a song about finding peace—whether in the face of something final, or simply in the midst of life’s noise and unrest. It can be interpreted in many ways: as a reflection on life and death, a transition toward something quieter, or a moment of calm. The lyrics aim to offer comfort by embracing stillness and acceptance.

In the music video, “my” journey conveys a sense of moving through life’s darker moments and narrow tunnels without light—before eventually finding rest and peace in the embrace of nature and the earth, as part of something larger.

The meaning of the lyrics is open to interpretation, and I hope the song gives space for reflection. That’s also why it’s placed as the final track on the album.”
