The nihilistic Norwegians with prog rock running in their blood.

Submarine cover any time soon.

AVKRVST’S NAME IS pronounced“Aw-crust”. Don’t worry if you ever get that wrong, though: the band have made the same mistake as well.
“We pronounced the first V at first,” singer and multiinstrumentalist Simon Bergseth admits to Prog.“We used to say‘Av-crust’, but the band are named after a guy called Kjell Aukrust – we just swapped the‘U’s for the letter‘V’. Other bands have been doing that for ages.”
