Håndgemeng - "The Astronomer" (Music Video) | Ripple Music - 2023

An incredible new music video from the absolutely stellar Håndgemeng of the opening track, "The Astronomer", off their album "Ultraritual" - which is available NOW on Vinyl/CD/Digital formats, grab yours at the links below!

About the video, the band says: "The video was filmed at our haunted practice space that is built on a foundation from the 18th century. This is truly just a tiny exaggeration from what a normal band practice looks like for us, stranger things have happened."

Riff after riff, spliff after spliff, Håndgemeng will take you from the depths of hell to the farthest reaches of space.

Håndgemeng was formed in Oslo, Norway in 2017 by brothers Martin and Filip Wennberg on vocals and bass, Charlie Ytterli on guitar and Ola Holseth on drums. They had played together in different hardcore and punk bands in the early days, but the puzzle pieces didn’t come together until Håndgemeng was formed and the riffs got slower, and the amps got louder. In 2019 they released their first EP “Motorcycle Death Cult” followed by the “Grim Riffer” EP. Håndgemeng played shows constantly and became someone to take notice of in the underground scene in Oslo. After parting ways with bassist Filip Wennberg, longtime friend Kim Grannes took over as bass player in Håndgemeng. Then the writing and recording of their debut album began. And just when Håndgemeng started making their debut album, society collapsed, and the world went into a global lockdown. Coincidence? I think not…
Still, from that darkness the band wrote and recorded ULTRARITUAL, eight songs that will take you on a cosmic journey spanning over millions of years.

Let the ritual commence!
