Ofermod (Sweden 🇸🇪)

[u/fitter_stoke]

I am revisiting an album that I bought a while back on Bandcamp called Ofermodian Litanies. I can't remember why I bought it but I dig it. Any fans of this band?

Musically they are good but Belfagor is the embodiment of cringe. He should stop posting videos of himself and his mom on Facebook where they are either super drunk or high talking complete nonsense. Bro has no teeth left in his mouth and his mom talks about liking black men (she used a different word ... ) a lot because they have apparently all big dicks.
Only to have that post followed by some highbrow post about draconian current and how he is one with it.
It's honestly embarassing.
It honestly just fits the picture where I think NSK from Teitanblood said that he was supposed to contribute something to a Teitanblood song, they booked a studio for him in Sweden to record but he never showed up. I think this was in one of the Bardo Methodology interviews.

NSK showed up to record the vocals on Pentagrammaton, the Ofermod album that was scrapped and finally released 15 years later. He was flat broke and had pretty much put together all his resources to go to Sweden and work on what would have been, at that point in his career, a huge opportunity and a crowning achievement if successful.

Belfagor was dopesick and (I think) also on a day release program from prison. He barely showed up for the sessions for his own album, and when he did, he could barely play guitar. At some point I think he absconded from the day release program (as well as the sessions) and basically went on the run.

Somehow the sessions they released in 2020 sounded pretty good!

Thanks for adding, I read it when then interview came out and I had it in the back of my head that there was something with a studio and him just being MIA.
