Norwegian metal band Paradogmata return with Necrosian Tastings, out on July 24th, 2026 through Hymns for the End of Times.
Founded in Trondheim in 2018, Paradogmata started as a melodic thrash band before bringing more death metal, black metal and progressive elements into their sound. After the arrival of guitarist Øystein Granamo Iversen and drummer Kim Sætre in 2025, the band entered a new phase with a revised line-up and a broader sound.
Necrosian Tastings follows the recent “Kråkevisa” single and works as a first look at the upcoming album Necrosian Litanies, planned for early 2027. The EP includes two new tracks, “Leave the Crippled Behind” and “Maladieu”, alongside two new versions of “Kråkevisa”. The CD edition also includes “Kråkevisa (Bløtkakeversjon)” as a bonus track.
“Leave the Crippled Behind” brings out the band’s melodic thrash and death metal side, with a heavy doom section in the middle before the song pushes forward again. Its lyrics take a satirical look at mankind’s selfish nature and where it may lead. “Maladieu” is more melodic, built around twin lead guitars and a mid-tempo drive, while its lyrics were written in the aftermath of Covid-19 and ask who, or what, the real plague is.
The EP also presents different sides of “Kråkevisa”. The “Kneippversjon” removes the folk elements and goes for a harsher Norwegian black metal approach, while the “Folkesangversjon” focuses on Hardanger fiddle, violin and folk vocals. Ingvild “Sareeta” Strønen Johannesen appears on Hardanger fiddle and violin on the folk versions.
