Dissonans - Limited Edition

On October 23rd, 1995, Seigmen’s platinum success Metropolis hit record store shelves and propelled the band to the top of Norway’s charts. Exactly 30 years later, on October 23rd, 2025, the band is set to release their latest album, Dissonans.

Dissonans marks a new chapter in a longer story and is the second album in an announced trilogy, following last year’s Norwegian Grammy–nominated Resonans. For those who have been following Seigmen, the first thing they might notice about Dissonans is the album cover. Where their earlier covers have been simple, symmetrical, and minimalist, Dissonans instead offers a stripped-down, almost punk-like aesthetic. And, as the title suggests, this album is not what you might usually expect — even though the sound is still unmistakably Seigmen to the avid listener.

The album’s ten tracks range from majestic, drone-like sounds made on homemade equipment to high-tempo songs with drum riffs borrowed from a 35-year-old demo. It even leads the band into uncharted territory with the airy ballad Så Nært, which also serves as the third and final single ahead of the album release.

All in all, Dissonans is a new album from a band that has, in a remarkable way, rediscovered fresh energy, creativity, and playfulness many years after once being Norway’s leading rock band.
