AVKRVST – The Approbation 2023


Norwegian progressive rock group AVKRVST are pleased to reveal details on their debut album titled “The Approbation”, set to be released on June 16th, 2023. At the young age of 7 years old, Martin and Simon made a pact that they would form a band when they got older.

Now, 22 years later they’ve done just that. An album is ready – 55 minutes of music inspired by everything they grew up listening to – everything from Mew, Anekdoten and Porcupine Tree to Opeth, Neal Morse and King Crimson. All the music has been written at a small cabin, deep into the Norwegian forests (Alvdal, Norway). Simon (composer, guitars, bass and vocals) and Martin (composer, drummer and synths) have later been joined by Øystein Aadland on bass/keys, Edvard Seim on guitars and Auver Gaaren on keys.
