ADVOCACY
About
Advocacy was formed in Aarhus, Denmark in the Spring of 2015 with influences from metal, jazz, and progressive rock. The band’s music is multi-faceted with unorthodox time signatures, three-part vocal harmonies, and compositions that take the listener on a musical journey through wide, dynamic levels and complex instrumentation. The lyrical themes are based on existentialism, societal issues, and the stormy depths of the human minds.
After two exploratory EPs, in early 2024, the collective released their debut album, “The Path of Decoherence”, mixed and mastered by Frederik Uglebjerg (Svartsot, Trold). The record saw the band’s compositions, already praised by the genre fans for their previous EPs, becoming more complex and, at the same time, heavier and more melodic, as the band is highly motivated on bringing their musical world to an international audience. With artwork by Disturbing Grace Design and cover art done by the band’s guitar player Søren Wind, “The Path of Decoherence” was the classical hit-the-ground-running debut album from a non-typical mature band for their first full-length.
In October 2025, Advocacy released the new single “This Night”, which is the first single from the band’s upcoming album – an intense journey into the night where hope fades, fear looms, and the struggle against overwhelming crisis becomes inevitable. The lyrics reflect the current age of polarization, insecurity, and war, shifting between resignation and defiance.
Guest vocalist Anders Sinding (Avarice) delivers a raw and visceral counterpoint, while production and mixing returning engineer Frederik Uglebjerg provide a razor-sharp sonic framework. A visually striking music video, directed by Casper Silber, completes the release, capturing the full spectrum of Advocacy’s expression – from melancholy to extreme intensity.
