July 28, 2025 - “Den mänskliga vredens arkitekter” is the lead single off Slutavverkning’s upcoming EP Skräp, set to release on September 5th via Feral Cuts. The demented jazz-punk gang of seasoned Swedish avant-garde veterans (including ex and current members of Opeth and Fire Orchestra among many others) infused the dark, experimental atmosphere of their debut full-length (Levande Charader, 2023) with the invigorating energy of their early EPs (Arbetets sorgemusik del I-III, 2019-2020), then boiled it down to four abrasive and absorbing fresh cuts. Skräp is a visceral set from the far-out regions of noise rock, for fans of The Birthday Party, Flipper and Sonic Youth!
Acclaimed for their “unique sound and vision” (Maximum RNR), the new EP is all about garbage - with this particular single taking inspiration from our current political climate, as well as an iconic pop culture phenomenon. “This song is about waste management - by fear! I’ve been watching too much news… Or too much Sopranos?” - Jon Ekström, vocals.
“I just wanted to write a straight punk-rock song… but when I started playing the riff, Marcus reacted with an unexpected Bonham-style groove, Isak conjured some truly crazy bird-squawk out of his clarinet, as Per slipped a melodic bass line underneath. They totally changed the character of the song, to the better of course!” - Pelle Andersson, guitar.
Skräp will be out September 5th on limited 7” and all major streaming platforms. Pre-order available now on Bandcamp.

- SLUTAVVERKNING BIOGRAPHY -
Slutavverkning first put its nose to the grindstone in 2018 to explore the sweet spot between proletarian noise-rock and unhinged acid-jazz.
On a trio of acclaimed EPs collectively titled “Music of Labour and Sorrow I-III”, core-members Pelle Andersson (guitar), Jon Ekström (vocals) and Marcus Källström (drums) were accompanied by renowned saxophone virtuoso Per Texas Johansson (Fire! Orchestra, Stockholm Jazz Orchestra). Shortly after, Per Wiberg joined on bass (ex-Opeth, Candlemass, Spiritual Beggars…), while Johansson’s Fire! Orchestra bandmate Isak Hedtjärn took over saxophone and clarinet duties. The already unique sound expanded into truly outlandish territories with this, as it can be heard on their debut full-length “Levande Charader” (2023).
Capturing the raw energy of their ramshackle live appearances, the same lineup recorded the incendiary follow-up EP “Skräp”, set to release on September 5th, 2025.
Slutavverkning is:
Jon Ekström - Vocals
