Swedish forest rockers BESVÄRJELSEN drop the first advance single from their third album Till Glömskan Ad Oblivionem (Swedish and Latin for: "Into Oblivion"), accompanied by a slightly disturbing music video ‘Didn’t Come to Party’ about that guy, the one nobody ever wants at their social gathering.
BESVÄRJELSEN comment: “There’s a scene in the Titanic movie that has always stayed with me, when the musicians keep playing as everything falls apart around them”, vocalist Lea Amling Alazam muses. “This is one of my all-time favorite moments in cinema, because it captures something important about music: the devotion, the need to create, and to hold onto something beautiful, even in the face of disaster. Like, we’re literally going under, but hey, let’s play. Dance to the sirens. In this day and age, it’s hard not to be affected by the chaos of the world. ‘Didn’t Come to Party’ is not a political statement but rather a cry of frustration. We’re living on this incredible planet, so why are we destroying it? Why war, why poverty, why harm the most vulnerable, when we have the resources to make life better for everyone? This quite reminds me of people who show up to parties just to ruin it for everyone else. Why is there such a drive to hurt, to dominate, to tear things apart in the pursuit of power? It’s senseless.”
Till Glömskan Ad Oblivionem is scheduled for release on August 28, 2026.
