Sweden’s best kept secret, Knivderby, signs with Novoton for their 5th album ’Uppochnervända kors’. They have released four albums themselves (Knivderby,
Andra nedstigningen, Underjordens nycklar and Dumskallarnas sammansvärjning), all of which have been noticed by both musicians and the music press. The only reason they are not as big as they deserve to be is because they have deliberately chosen to be outsiders. With tightly limited editions of hundreds of CDs and metal, masonite and urinal tile covers (all of which have long since sold out), they haven’t made it easy for people to discover them. The fact that they were previously not available digitally on iTunes/Spotify has not made matters any easier.

Novoton have been big fans of Knivderby ever since we heard ’Hårdaset katterna i stan’ on their first album and it has taken us several years to convince all the stubborn people in Knivderby to start working with us. With threats and counter-threats, the negotiations are just finished and we are proud to present their fifth album, ”Uppochnervända kors”. They sound as if their lives depended on it, which perhaps it does, and with a booming soundscape, razor-sharp guitars and accurate dark poetry, Knivderby lets those who are ready be shaken. This is exactly what the doctor prescribes against an Idol/Melodifestival/The Voice-inflated Sweden. https://frontl.ink/vpxjdqd
