On May 12th 2023, Danish heavy psych rock band De Forbandede returns with its third record, the ambitious double album »Menneske« (‘Human’ in Danish). These past months, the band has shared six singles from the album and today, the record’s seventh and final single is released in the shape of the metaphysical-mystical psych rock ear worm »Stemmer I Disen«.
Listen to De Forbandede’s new single »Stemmer I Disen« HERE!
Organ player and lyricist Michael states about the track: “»Stemmer I Disen« takes you on a mysterious walk towards the gallows. Musically, we are in the comfortable middle ground of “De Forbandede” – hard without being too hard.”
On the release day May 12th, De Forbandede will play a release show at the venue Magasinet in their hometown Odense, Denmark. The band expects to be able to announce more shows in near future.

With »Menneske«, De Forbandede has created a huge body of work, which through the nineteen album songs embraces everything from fuzz bangers to psychedelic epics with a thematic focus on human existence, for good and bad, in past, present and future. »Menneske« is released on double vinyl and digital formats on May 12th 2023 via SomeStudio. The album is produced by Michael Hansen Buur, mixed by Jens Prip Brandt, mastered by Jacob Hansen and has artwork by NMAAR.
De Forbandede was formed in 2015 drawing inspiration from heavy psychedelic rock legends Jimi Hendrix and Black Sabbath and newer stoner/garage bands such as Monster Magnet and Baby Woodrose, as well as H.P. Lovecraft, science fiction, 60’s horror and Danish 80’s poets.
A subsequently high activity level from De Forbandede resulted in first a 7” vinyl single and an EP, then two full-length albums »De Forbandede« (2017) and »Den Evige Nat« (2017), and then followed more singles, EP’s and a long string of shows in Denmark and abroad, among those SPOT Festival, Gutter Island and packed Scandinavian venues. Along the way, the band became a tight unit making its mark as a intense live act and as one of the most essential newer Danish psych rock ensembles.
With the new double album »Menneske«, De Forbandede has created a massive body of work which through nineteen songs utilizes the many facets of classic rock music with everything from short, catchy rock tunes to longer epic and dynamic tracks fully unfolding the band’s format and love for fuzz, guitar solos and hammond organ. In the band’s own words, the songs examines “all those fallible humans, in good and bad, in past and future” with a special focus on the grim religious traditions of old times, the now’s existential dilemmas, the transcendental universal being and the destructive tendencies of mankind.
