Pre Order: Gjenferd – Black Smoke Rising
Gjenferd – Black Smoke Rising
Out March 6, 2026
Norwegian hard rock band Gjenferd returns with their second album, Black Smoke Rising, arriving March 6, 2026.
Building on the strong foundation of their debut, the album sharpens the band’s sound with stronger hooks, tighter songwriting, and a more direct, accessible approach — without sacrificing the dark edge that defines Gjenferd. Heavy riffs and swirling organ drive catchy vocal lines, revealing a clear pop sensibility beneath the weight.
Drawing inspiration from classic heavy rock acts like Black Sabbath and Deep Purple, while embracing modern influences such as Ghost and Hällas, Black Smoke Rising marks a confident step forward. Following critical acclaim for their debut — including a #4 spot on the Doom Charts (May 2024) — Gjenferd continues to establish themselves as a powerful force, known for energetic live shows and appearances at festivals like Desertfest Oslo.
