Swedish hospital EBM duo Makt i Rockar prepare debut album ‘Inget För Givet’
Makt i Rockar
Kristianstad-based duo Makt i Rockar will release their debut album “Inget För Givet” in late March 2026 on Echoknocks Records, presenting what they describe as Swedish hospital EBM. The 12-track album was self-produced at Granite 8 Studio 1.
Echoknocks Records is a record label producing EBM and synth music since 2005. The label is the home to Autodafeh, Endless Shame, Vince, Agrezzior, and Makt i Rockar.
The lead single “Pussel” is already available as a preview.
About Makt i Rockar
To stay in tune with the promo pictures the duo says jokingly that “the project grew out of the psychiatric wards of Skåne, where two staff members in white coats found an old drum machine and a synth in the brain lab and began shaping tracks built on bass and repetitive rhythms.” Their lyrics revolve around ward life: walker racing in hospital corridors, and the night staff’s coffee routines.
In short, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest is never far away! “Creating this album was our way of drawing a blueprint for the world we don’t want to live in,” the duo adds.
