Norwegian noise rock duo Årabrot has unveiled the music video for their new single "Pedestal," serving as a preview of their upcoming album, Rite of Dionysus. This album, produced by Alain Johannes, captures a unique moment in time and explores themes of loss and introspection. Frontman Kjetil Nernes describes the song as a slow-burning, meditative track that evolves through collaboration with Karin Park and Johannes. The video, directed by Corentin Schieb, premiered on July 4 and features choreography by Elodie Guillotin. Rite of Dionysus is set for release on August 29, with pre-orders available now.
Given the band’s experiences during the Taylor Hawkins memorial concert and interactions with rock icons, how do you think such moments influence the creative process for artists like Årabrot?
