Rosvo: Theme Park Family Fun – new video & Tick & Ants – full EP stream

 

 

 

ROSVO (“a riddle, an enigma, a cult, a band of dissidents; creative volcanoes in his infernal majesty's service to the fullest”) have released a new video created by Anders Björler, Hans Simonen and Mark Alan Loso “as a continued cooperation of vigilante art for arts own sake”. ROSVO, a Finnish word for “robber” apparently, is the postpubertal “fast food hardcore” group from either Malmö or Sätila in Sweden which features Hans Simonen, Peter Dolving, Martin Lundgren and David Andersson:

“We are the identikit. We are the cool tattoos. We are the macho. The über-tough guys, and a token of a politically correct. We are more straightedge than an ecological box, we are stamped justice mince soy and we are angry. Very, very angry. I’m sure some people will feel a great deal of discomfort by our well-defined agro. We are like ninja in the night,” [explained the concept Peter Dolving in an interview with Metal Shock Finland – read the rest here]

And as such, ROSVO should keep Dovling plenty occupied now that he’s quit THE HAUNTED. ROSVO's debut recording, an EP called ‘Ticks And Ants’, was released in April 2011; it was recorded at Repaire de Voleurs & Hulugården by the band and at FlatPig Studio by Robert Ahrling and mastered at Antfarm Studio by Tue Madsen. Listen to ‘Ticks And Ants’ via player available below. In December 2011 the band released a video for ‘Seasick’ (filmed (iPhone) and edited by Björler and featuring Dovling, the star), one of four tunes from ‘Ticks And Ants’.
