I’ll Be Damned
ABOUT
In 2022 I’LL BE DAMNED was at it again. Armed with a constant flow of inspiration from a world gone mad, the Danish band was truly pissed off about politics, religion, the media and society in general. The album released back then, “Culture”, was more well-structured than the prior albums regarding both riffing and overall songwriting. And, with brilliant production value – courtesy of the producer Tue Madsen and his Antfarm Studios – the Nordic five-piece finally reached the potential they promised in their previous two albums and explosive live appearances.
With the addition of two new members, Anders Gyldenøhr (ex-Grope, ex-Hatesphere) on drums and Mark Damgaard on vocals, I’ll Be Damned matured in a musical way that has led to a more serious approach to the writing process. This is showcased with an album – coming after “Road To Disorder” (2018) and “I’ll Be Damned” (2017) – containing less humour, darker and more aggressive riffs followed up by explosive vocals and lyrics that include themes such as anger, desperation and hopelessness rather than sarcasm and irony. However, the thematics of “Culture” still revolve around hatred towards religion and politics, but also newer forms of extreme cultural diversities.
Backed with influences such as Clutch, Down and Rage Against The Machine, I’ll Be Damned fuses a potent yet melodic and groovy punch in your face with lyrical sharpness and unifying paroles – with an attitude.
“Culture” is out now on digital, CD and LP (transparent orange vinyl, limited to 300 units) via Mighty Music.
In November 2023, the band announced their first live full-length album ever – “Live At Radar”. Recorded at the band’s hometown (Aarhus), in a packed venue, featuring guest musicians from Baest and Plaguemace, with sound mixed and mastered by Tue Madsen at Antfarm Studios. This is the ultimate I’ll Be Damned live experience, that is available on all digital platforms from November 2023.
