Bokassa Anomalies

Norwegian powerhouse Bokassa returns with new album “Anomalies”, the fifth full length from the eclectic riff handlers. Every song on the band's new record continues to show Bokassa's diversity. Something the album's title reflects on. Not only is the band's origin story far from traditional, the band's love for mixing genres has always placed them a little off the beaten track, which is why they feel «Anomalies» is a fitting title for their new album.

The power trio seamlessly transitions from groove metal, desert rock, scandirock, death metal, hardcore punk and hard rock to powerpop, all while maintaining the band's unique sound and knack for ear worms. Frontman Jørn Kaarstad pushes himself vocally as well with everything from soft clean vocals, hardcore screams to low death metal growling, while tackling lyrical topics that range from state coupes, defectors to the very real possibility of the world ending. And leprechauns. A combination which makes «Anomalies» a very exciting full length from a band who never stops challenging themselves. As heard on the trashy metallic hardcore on «Cop Out» to the more mellow, almost dreamy, stoner rock approach in first single «Doesn’t Matter If You Love It Here».

The follow up to 2024's critically acclaimed «All Out Of Dreams» is released on the bands own label Kings of Stonerpunk Records, and produced by none other than two time Grammy winner Adrian Bushby (Foo Fighters, Muse, The Darkness) and mastered by George Perks (Enter Shikari, Skindred).
