Yersinia
Efter Oss Syndafloden
YERSINIA is what you get when you let some Swedes, force-fed on indigenous black metal, death metal and crust, play metalcore. While staying true to some of the genres' defining elements, YERSINIA ups the ante with more dissonance, more speed, and not a single moment of playing to the gallery. Lyrically, this is not another bland three-word band, but one that uses every single line to express something - in their native tongue. The use of the wordplay of 19th century Swedish poetry, this is definitely something that, combined with the extraordinary violent music, won't leave anyone unaffected. YERSINIA started out in 2008 and released two EPs on their own before signing with Black Star Foundation for their debut album, EFTER OSS SYNDAFLODEN. The album was recorded and produced by Daniel Bergstrand and Rickard Sporrong, known for their work with, amongst others, In Flames, Meshuggah and Raised Fist, in DugOut Studios during the summer / autumn of 2010. The album shows off a band that can't be held back in any direction, and a band that completely explodes with creativity and emotion. In eleven songs YERSINIA makes eleven well-crafted and thoroughly intense statements not just about what music should sound like 2010 / 2011, but also what true artistic expression truly is.
