BESVÄRJELSEN let it rip on their new music video ‘Accelerating Hearts’. Putting their pedal to the metal, the Swedish forest rockers deliver a fuzz-fuelled single that burns rubber on their forthcoming third full-length Till Glömskan Ad Oblivionem (Into Oblivion).

Till Glömskan Ad Oblivionem is slated for release on August 28, 2026.

Besvärjelsen comment: “In the middle of writing this album, I found out that I was pregnant, which of course changed everything”, vocalist Lea Amling Alazam reveals. ”During my first writing session after that, I was confronted by myself with how much my creative process had always been tied to my vices. There was usually something there like a glass of wine, a cold beer, and of course also coffee, cigarettes, and snus. Suddenly, all of that was gone. ‘Accelerating Hearts’ became, in a way, a love song to that rush of everything that heightens your senses and pulls you forward – this thrilling sense of acceleration. From the start, I knew that I wanted this song to be a duet. At the top of my list was Fred Burman of Satan Takes a Holiday, who is an incredible vocalist and one of the most compelling voices in Sweden. I was beyond happy when he agreed, and what he brought to the track is nothing short of magic.”

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.
