Oberst are a heavy rock group from Oslo, Norway, delivering a commanding hardcore-infused metal sound, merged with attributes from post metal, progressive metal, and rock. Having released their debut album, Paradise, in 2020 through Indie Recordings, the band is now gearing up for the release of their second full length, Toil.
In their newest single, Mules on a Mountain, which serves as a preview of the upcoming album, Oberst skillfully reveal their diverse influences spanning various styles. These factors, though subtle, are palpable, resulting in a remarkable outcome which defies traditional genre boundaries. The music is both weighty and fervent, allowing the band to express their obvious, deep-seated passion for heaviness.
Oberst comment on Mules on a Mountain: "This song is about the long slow grind to reach some elusive summit, not knowing if it’s even there. Our big brains only asking small questions as we’re forever stuck on the hillsides."
