Emerging from the fertile Scandinavian post-rock landscape, Oh Hiroshima have built a reputation for transforming introspection into vast, cinematic sound. Over the past decade, the Swedish duo has refined a musical language that balances fragility with overwhelming emotional force. In 2026, Oh Hiroshima return with And the Dead Tree Gives No Shelter, continuing their exploration of tension, atmosphere, and intensity, with a renewed focus on bringing these songs to full realisation live.
Gothenburg/Malmö-based post rock power trio Barrens return with Corpse Lights, the band’s second full-length release following their critically-acclaimed 2020 debut Penumbra. Five years in the making, Corpse Lights sees Barrens strike a breathtaking balance between light and dark; beauty and brutality; the calm and the chaos as the three fast friends refine their formidable command of composition and dynamic even further.

Oh Hiroshima
Originally formed over 15 years ago, the current iteration of Oh Hiroshima consists of brothers Jakob Hemström (guitar/vocals) and Oskar Nilsson (drums). Since their debut in 2011, the band has released a string of critically acclaimed albums, gradually expanding their sound beyond their post-rock roots and establishing a strong international presence.
Barrens
Corpse Lights, Barrens’ sophomore album, is somehow deeper, richer and headier; imbued with an alluring compositional patience that serves as unspoken testament to the combined creativity of the trio in their element, as something so much greater than the sum of its parts. Recorded and produced by Kristofer Jönson, who also helmed Penumbra, and mixed and mastered once again by Cult of Luna’s Magnus Lindberg, shimmering synthesizers and sprawling guitars lead the charge propelled by exhilarating drums and percussion but Corpse Lights also finds Barrens using space, silence and atmosphere as another instrument if not as another band member entirely.
