Backengrillen

“The GRILL will fucking rule things…” – Backengrillen’s debut album out in January"Backengrillen's music is a paean to chaos and destruction. The basic idea is to take a death/doom metal, or noiserock riff and play it until it loses meaning and then break it apart like a ravenous cat would a tiny forest mouse. It's filled to the brim with the self-hatred endemic to the province of Västerbotten from whence the member’s hail. The record was written on a Thursday during their first ever rehearsal, performed live on a Friday and recorded on a Saturday, so what you're hearing is raw, stupid, gut instinct music played by seasoned purveyors of hardcore punk, metal, free jazz, noise et cetera.Record no 2 is in the making, less stupid, more ugly. Stay tuned and fuck the pigs."-Backengrillen, November 2025Backengrillenis a new ensemble with their roots in HC, punk, noise and free Jazz.
