In keeping with black metal’s fiercely individual spirit, BIZARREKULT began its journey in Norway as a lone wolf. Much like the previous two retreats into the studio from lone mastermind Roman V., his upcoming third album emerged slowly and painstakingly from a deeply personal crisis. But the post-black metal luminary continues to expand his tortured vision by not breaking so much as bending with the genre’s storied traditions. On Alt Som Finnes, he confronts all there is with devastating clarity.
Today, BIZARREKULT is releasing the third and final advanced single from Alt Som Finnes (All There Is). Caught between blistering rage and shadowy despair, “Avmakt” (Powerlessness) fights for control against the powers that be.
“This song deals with feeling like you have no control”, Roman says. “We carry on as bystanders, powerless over the direction of our lives”.
Alt Som Finnes is out February 20, 2026 on Season of Mist Underground Activists.
In keeping with Norwegian tradition, BIZARREKULT can be as cold and raw as early DARKTHRONE, as eerily melodic as ENSLAVED, or as blistering in its beauty as BORKNAGAR. Alt Som Finnes (All There Is) upholds that classic, manic energy of old-school black metal. “Blikket Hennes” buzzes like a mind plagued, hounded by sharp twisting riffs, pained screams and a steady pounding of double bass.
“Your conscience never sleeps’”, Roman explains. “It judges and evaluates everything you do. You will never be able to get away from it; it will pierce you day and night, for good and bad”.
As the punishing headwinds behind “Blikket Hennes” signal a change in the atmosphere, like a break in the clouds, DØDHEIMSGARD vocalist’s Yusaf Parvez appears from behind the torrential melody with soothing cleans. It’s a welcome respite before the mental fog returns.
