Dødelig (Mortal) is the sophomore album by Danish extreme metal band Galge.

Dødelig marks Galge’s evolution toward a more experimental and progressive sound.

It’s an album permeated by genre-bending movements, bold songwriting choices, and a dedication to sporadic harmony. The band is heavier and more aggressive than ever, with blistering noisescapes, animalistic vocals, and a deeper approach to song composition.

Lyrically, the album explores the space between tragedy and acceptance.

Accompanying the ever-evolving riff passages and melodies is a story about how misfortune drives an otherwise peaceful person to loathsomeness. Dødelig further explores how the recklessness of others may threaten to rob an individual of what they care for most—along with the resulting desire to move forward, escape the hopeless narrative this tragedy created, and rediscover the joy of life.

Listen to Dødelig upon its release on October 3rd, and expect beautiful walls of sound, technical riffs, hardcore-infused songs, extreme heaviness, and plenty of emotion.
