Norwegian hard rock band Gjenferd returns with their second album, Black Smoke Rising, out March 6, 2026. Black Smoke Rising takes the band to a new level, building on the strengths of their debut while pushing the sound in a more direct and accessible direction. The album delivers stronger songs, sharper hooks and a tighter overall approach, without losing the darker edge that has defined Gjenferd from the start. Guitars and organ are at the core of the sound, driving solid riffs and catchy vocal lines with a clear pop sensibility beneath the heaviness.
The band’s debut album received strong reviews both nationally and internationally, including 4th place on Doom Charts in May 2024. Gjenferd draws inspiration from classic heavy rock acts such as Black Sabbath and Deep Purple, combined with a modern hard rock approach influenced by Ghost and Hällas. They’re known for energetic live performances, including appearances at festivals such as Desertfest Oslo.
