Norwegian post-rock outfit Korean Cars return with ‘Magalomaniac’, the second single from their debut mini-album #1, set to be released on May 23 via Mas-Kina Recordings.
Following the haunting and immersive lead single ‘Drömtorp’, this new single turns the dial from introspection to tension as “Magalomaniac” is a slow-burning eruption of cinematic builds, distorted beauty, and emotional urgency.
Blending melancholic post-rock with melodic post-hardcore, Korean Cars create a dynamic soundscape where atmospheric depth meets raw emotional release. Drawing from the alternative and post-hardcore scenes of the ’90s and 2000s, the band’s sound fuses soaring melodies, jagged noise, and unpredictable shifts into a captivating experience.
Formed by members of Rumble in Rhodos, Infidels Forever, Arms on Fire, and Insense, Korean Cars combine seasoned musicianship with a shared passion for layered, emotionally charged songwriting. Their sound echoes the cinematic textures of Explosions in the Sky and the emotional punch of Trail of Dead — a beautiful chaos of melody and intensity.
