(S3E18) – Gjenferd

The Rich & Turbo’s Heavy Half Hour love this band’s debut record from 2024, and when their new one, titled Black Smoke Rising, was announced, it was top priority to talk to these guys about their amazing blend of 70s hard rock and prog, all tied together with some killer organ. So on this episode (S3E18), all the way from Bergen, Norway, Gjenferd joins the show!!! Jakob (keyboard/vocals) and Vegard (guitar/vocals) chat with us about the new record, what’s different this time for album two, the band’s origin story, what it’s like hauling Jakob’s equipment, how Vegard juggles two excellent bands (he is in the amazing Kryptograf too), and so much more. Black Smoke Rising rules (I gave it a 10 in my Musipedia of Metal review) so go check it out then please come listen to our discussion.
