Makthaverskan to Nalen on May Day

On May 1, Makthaverskan will take the stage at Nalen in Stockholm. Fresh off the release of their new album Glass and Bones, they continue their artistic journey with the same power, emotion and melodic beauty that have defined the band's music since the beginning.

TICKETS ON SALE FRIDAY 13/11 AT 15.00.

Since their formation in Gothenburg in 2008, Makthaverskan have captivated both audiences and critics with their melodic, post-punk-infused indie pop. Across four acclaimed albums (Makthaverskan, II, III, För Allting), they have taken their music from the stages of Gothenburg to tours throughout the Nordic countries, Europe, and the United States.

With their fifth album, Glass and Bones, the band continues to evolve without letting go of the expressive force that has always defined their sound. Through these new songs, they move even closer to what has always been at the heart of their music: a combination of raw intensity and melodic beauty that has characterised the band since its inception.

The contrasts that have long defined Makthaverskan's music have also been recognised by the international press. Reviewing För Allting (2021), Pitchfork noted that the band retains its "pitch-perfect blend of post-punk, jangle pop, and shoegaze", now paired with a "full-bodied reflection on regret and stagnation". The review highlighted Maja Milner's voice in particular as "thin but strong, hitting a violent edge as easily as the flick of a butterfly knife".

The power of the band's early years can still be heard in their live performances. BrooklynVegan observed that "what really sets Makthaverskan apart… is Maja Milner's powerhouse voice", further evidence that the band's energy continues to thrive on stage.

With Glass and Bones, Makthaverskan's latest record is filled with emotional choruses, rhythmic force, and atmospheric layers, as they continue to move forward without leaving their core identity behind. In short, it is a continuation of their artistic journey, one where intensity and emotion remain central to their music, and where the qualities that have made Makthaverskan one of Sweden's finest pop bands continue to shine through.

On May 1 Makthaverskan will take over Stora Salen at Nalen in Stockholm.
