Command – Resver
|
Command was formed in Arvika, Sweden in 2016, then under the name of Commando. Under the previous moniker, the band released the EP Rites of Damnation in 2020. Since then the four members have been locked up in isolation and obscurity, and are now ready to unveil their new full length album Resver (meaning hallucination or delusion in ancient French) to the world.

Command – Resver
Jawbreaker Records are proud to announce the upcoming release of COMMAND – RESVER on all music formats.
|
COMMAND was formed in Arvika, Sweden in 2016, then under the name of COMMANDO. Under the previous moniker, the band released the EP “Rites of Damnation” in 2020. Since then the four members have been locked up in isolation and obscurity, and are now ready to unveil their new full length album RESVER (meaning hallucination or delusion in ancient French) to the world.
|
Nearly four years since “Rites of Damnation”, Command’s sound has transformed, embracing a rougher and more dramatic quality with a distinctive black metal approach. RESVER, unlike its predecessor, was a deliberate creation from start to finish, with the band crafting a complete record rather than assembling individual songs. Each band member had a say in the creative work, ensuring a collaborative effort in every aspect of the album’s creation.
|
Another notable change is the dropping of the “O” from “Commando.” The band revealed that this alteration was a conscious decision to align the band with the essence of RESVER. Every choice, including the adjusted name, was tailored to harmonize with the album’s unique sound. In the same vein, there is also cohesive connection between the lyrics, which are delving deep into the occult and mysterious. Fans can explore a conceptual thread running through the songs, creating a deeper layer to the album’s narrative.
|
Taking a bold step, Command handled every aspect of RESVER’s production, from recording to artwork. Embracing a true do-it-yourself ethos, the band highlighted the luxury and burden of having complete control over the creative process. The only exception is the mastering by Jamie Elton, which added the final touch and elevated the mix to its highest form.
|
|
As Command unleashes RESVER to the world, fans can anticipate a blackened heavy metal odyssey that pushes boundaries of heavy metal. RESVER will be out on January 26, 2024.

MIDNATT / OVERTURE – “Swedish Metal” LP
Gates of Hell Records and Jawbreaker Records are proud to announce the co-release of the MIDNATT / OVERTURE split LP “Swedish Metal”. Both bands are newcomers in the Swedish Heavy Metal scene, and this split album collects their two debut demos, for the first time on vinyl format.
|
Overture (formed in 2022) is an up-and-coming, extremely talented young band from Stockholm. The power trio combines jawdropping musical virtuosity and musicianship with flawless song writing and a contagious young-and-hungry energy. Their specific blend of metal is highly recommended for fans of Scorpions, Rainbow, Deep Purple, Rising Force, Heavy Load and Silver Mountain.
|
Midnatt emerged from Arvika’s underground in 2022 with the “Metallisk Hetta” demo tape, a solid slab of gritty heavy metal, entirely sung in Swedish language. This raw-power trio conjures up a soundscape that can only lie behind the burning gates of Hell and that will appeal to all fans of the golden era of Swedish Heavy Metal.
|
Despite being two brand new bands, members in both Midnatt and Overture are no first-timers and no stranger to Metal danger: Midnatt in fact features members from Swedish Heavy Metal monster Commando, who made quite an impression with their 2020 “Rites of Damnation” EP and their previous 2018 demo cassette. Overture members are no beginners either as they’ve been delivering the goods in bands such as Eternal Evil and Atonement (who just recently released two excellent full albums) and more.

An exquisite and utterly traditional layout by Turborock Productions perfectly rounds off this fantastic release. If you like your metal sharp and heavy, this split will make your day. Everyone else, cut and run!
