Märvel till Örebro 28/2 – rå energi, ny musik och ett band i absolut toppform
Den 28 februari kommer Märvel till Örebro, laddade med färsk energi från sitt tionde album, Brain Drain Diaries. Efter mer än två decennier som ett av landets mest konsekvent levererande rockband fortsätter Märvel att utvecklas – mer personligt, mer eftertänksamt och mer kraftfullt än någonsin.
Brain Drain Diaries sätter ord och ton på den moderna vardagens utmaningar, och live förvandlas albumets ärlighet och nerv till ren, fysisk energi. Det är här Märvel verkligen skiner: i mötet med publiken, där melodierna, groovet och intensiteten smälter samman till en konsertupplevelse som både berör och blåser bort dammet från alla hörn av lokalen.
Support: Åskväder
Den elektriskt laddade kvartetten Åskväder från Göteborg skapar mullrande oväder genom sin rockmusik. Soundet beskrivs som en välbalanserad uppfräschning av det skandinaviska rocksoundet från 90-talet kryddat med fartfyllda riff dränkta i bluesiga licks och medryckande refränger. Åskväder bjuder även på ett dundrande trum- och basgroove toppat med snygga sångstämmor. Namnet på bandet ger en tydlig bild av
musiken Åskväder framför, inget krångel bara hederlig ösig rock n roll.
Tracks: Look! It's Rock 'n' Roll // A Beautiful Corpse // Brain Drain // Take a Stand // How Much Can I Wait // Biding My Time // Lord of the Gilded Cage // Time Has a Way // Butt to the Head // Steal the Night
Produced and recorded by Märvel at the Sunshine Factory. Mixed by Robert Pehrson. Mastered by Magnus Linderg. Cover art by Mats Engesten.
From the press release:
MÄRVEL – Brain Drain DiariesThe Barons of Swedish High Energy Rock ’n’ Roll Open Up on Their Tenth Studio AlbumAfter more than two decades behind the masks, MÄRVEL returns with Brain Drain Diaries — their most personal and revealing album to date. Known for their thunderous riffs, anthemic choruses, and larger-than-life presence, the band now turns the focus inward to explore the exhaustion, doubt, and determination that come with life, art, and the times we live in.Brain Drain Diaries is about everyday struggles — about finding sparks of energy when everything feels drained, about standing tall through hardship, and about coming out on the other side with new strength. It’s also a record about coping with the madness of the world — trying to keep your head above water when everything feels upside down.Musically, the album delivers everything Märvel fans love: soaring hooks, driving guitars, and an unstoppable groove. But beneath the energy lies something raw and human — a sense of honesty and reflection that makes Brain Drain Diaries one of Märvel’s most heartfelt releases yet. From the defiant roar of “Take a Stand” and the gritty pulse of “Brain Drain” to the reflective weight of “Time Has a Way”, the album captures a band that’s still pushing forward — more alive than ever.Formed in 2002 by three Swedish exchange students — The King, The Vicar, and Speedo — Märvel have spent over twenty years carving out their own corner of rock ’n’ roll. With nine acclaimed albums, and a loyal fanbase across Europe, the band has built a legacy of pure energy and infectious passion.Now, with Brain Drain Diaries, Märvel opens up a new chapter — one that’s not just about riffs and swagger, but about resilience, honesty, and heart.
