On March 6, Norwegian post black-metal trio ROSA FAENSKAP release Ingenting forblir (“Nothing Endures”)

On March 6, black metal trio ROSA FAENSKAP release Ingenting forblir (Norwegian for “Nothing Lasts”), the follow-up to their critically acclaimed 2023 debut Jeg blir til deg. A central theme of the upcoming album is the exhausting feeling of witnessing the seemingly safe world one grew up in gradually mutate into a bleak and uncomfortable place.

The album's title is dualistic, being both nihilistic and optimistic at the same time. Nothing Lasts – all the world’s beauty, all the struggles fought and won – everything is at risk of being lost. Yet, nothing lasts: no matter how bleak the world feels, no matter how hopeless everything may seem, the darkness will eventually reach its end – as long as the fight persists. Faced with fascism and existential threats, pessimism is a luxury we cannot afford. Ingenting forblir insists on something else: endurance. Resistance. Revolutionary optimism forged in fire.

Throughout the album, ROSA FAENSKAP explores these themes from different angles — from the direct to the poetic, from the analytic on to the brutally direct and deeply personal. Anti-fascism, environmentalism, queer rights and Palestinian liberation are among the political struggles addressed throughout the album.

Musically, the band continue to blur boundaries, bringing hardcore, post-rock, and progressive textures into their sound, but this time their black metal core is more pronounced than ever, within a dark, twisted musical universe.

Ingenting forblir is there for you both when you need to linger for a moment in all the pain, and when you are ready to ignite a revolutionary optimism in the midst of the madness.

About ROSA FAENSKAP

With electrifying performances at Roskilde, Inferno, and Øya Festival, ROSA FAENSKAP have cemented themselves as one of Norway’s most compelling and uncompromising heavy acts.

Their sound merges the frostbitten atmosphere of black metal with the feral urgency of hardcore punk. As a trio, they have refined a colossal presence: lightning-fast, punishing drums; melodic yet crushing bass lines; and guitars that shift between shimmering dreamscapes and sheer abrasion.

Rejecting traditional black metal aesthetics, ROSA FAENSKAP replace corpse paint and orthodoxy with eyeliner and pride flags — redirecting the genre’s fury toward homophobia, patriarchy, capitalism, and fascism. Their radical stance has earned them a devoted following that stretches far beyond metal’s conventional boundaries.

Their debut album Jeg blir til deg (2023) received widespread acclaim from international publications including Metal Hammer and New Noise, as well as major Norwegian outlets such as VG and Klassekampen.

With Ingenting forblir, ROSA FAENSKAP push further into the storm — darker, sharper, and more necessary than ever.
