EP Premiere: Musth – Jollysad

Norwegian alternative metal band Musth are sharing their new EP, Jollysad, a release that leans unapologetically into discomfort, excess, and the absurd, both lyrically and musically. The EP is out Friday as a self-release.

 “We were fed up with the overly polished and perfectly produced sound of music today, so we decided to record the Jollysad EP live in the studio, warts and all, inspired by the way Rage Against the Machine approached Evil Empire,” the band say. “That way, we could capture the raw energy of our rehearsals and live shows. Musically, as the title suggests, we dive into darkness and twisted brightness.”

The EP also features a unique cultural reference point, incorporating sampled dialogue from the cult 1976 Norwegian film Lasse & Geir, notably on the track “Disposable Income in the Hands of Teenagers.”

Jollysad was recorded at Phat Cat Studios in November 2025 with producer Sigve Bull (Maria Mena, OnklP og De Fjerne Slektningene, Ida Maria), mixed by Adam Muñoz (Faith No More, Mr. Bungle, Deftones), and mastered by Magnus Gulbrandsen at Jelöy Sound Mastering. Alongside digital formats, the EP will be released on vinyl as part of a special edition alongside its predecessor Under Nature’s Skirt, with one EP featured on each side.
