THRASHING SWEDISH JAZZ-PUNK RIOT!
Slutavverkning is a Swedish avant-garde noise-rock collective featuring ex and current members of Opeth and Fire! Orchestra among many others. Skräp (Garbage) is the incendiary follow up EP of their debut full-length Levande Charader (2023). A deliberately shambolic affair, the new session captures the band in their most raucous, primal and spirited form yet.
“We wanted to take all the forbidden sounds and production techniques, then squeeze it all into a pair of pants that’s too tight. Push everything a bit too far, until it nearly snaps!” - guitarist Pelle Andersson. Skräp contains four songs of idiosyncratic jazz-punk debauchery about the garbage we produce, consume, believe and leave behind. Irreverent, visceral and wild - a fitting soundtrack to the contemporary world. It will be out March 14th on 7-inch vinyl and all major digital streaming platforms.

The Cramps and The Birthday Party.”

- 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 could be heard on their debut full-length “Levande Charader” (2023).
Capturing the raw energy of their ramshackle live appearances, the same lineup recorded a four song EP called “Skräp”, set to release on September 5th, 2025.
