"Argute" release date: February 8

Thomas from Ribozyme builds a guitar from scratch, accompanied with their brand new single "Plasma".

"To  thine  own  self  be  true",  Shakespeare  wrote,  and  since  the  late  90s  Norwegian  visionary  rock  outfit  Ribozyme  has  taken  this  to  heart,  even  so  with  their  latest  brainchild.  The  aptly  named "Argute" is a  shrewd  take  on  contemporary  hard  rock,  bringing  their  signature  vocals  and  harmonies  in  line  with  the  times-  four  years  after  the  release  of  the  critically  acclaimed "Grinding  Tune͟".  This  metamorphosis  is  emphasized  by  the  addition  of  guitarist  Thomas  Lønnheim  to  the  group,  adding  an  extra  dimension  to  the  creative  sphere  of  Kjartan  Ericsson,  Cato  Olaisen  and  Lord  Baard.  

Ribozyme  has  always  thrived  on  change  and  evolution,  and  "Argute"  marks  a  departure  from  the  more  outdrawn  and  atmospheric  segments  of  their  songwriting  in  favour  of  a  more  direct  approach.  Mixed  by  Dag  Erik  Nygaard  (recently  credited  with  mixing  Blood  Command,  Ondt  Blod  etc),  this  release  brings  their  trademark  lyrics  to  the  forefront  –  abstract  fragments  of  situations  and  emotions  rather  than  full  stories,  ranging  from  rage  to  hope,  that  translates  seamlessly  into  their  ferociously  energetic  live  shows.    

As  always,  the  album  is  recorded  at  their  own  facilities,  lending  it  the  authenticity  fans  have  learned  to  appreciate  from  their  previous  releases.  The  inhouse  production  from  Lord  Baard  fleshing  out  the  songs  with  a  more  massive  sound  befits  the  band  itself  –  while  still  deadly  serious  they  have  a  more  playful  tone  to  their  endgame.

"Argute" is  the  logical  sum  of  a  band  who  has  spent  nearly  two  decades  redefining  themselves  while  remaining  unequivocally  unique.  This  is  Ribozyme  at  their  most  audacious,  and  it  is  likely  to  become  their  most  approachable  release  to  date.
