They might not be a household name with mainstream audiences, but Norway’s Turbonegro have quietly assembled a small army of underground support for themselves. Heading towards their 25th year together as a band, the group has long carved out a dedicated, diehard fan base through a unique and confrontational look and style of music.

Now, they’re back with a new singer—their first since longtime vocalist Hank von Helvete departed—named Tony Sylvester (his moniker is The Duke of Nothing). Having just released an excellent new album called Sexual Harassment, we were thrilled to speak with Sylvester a mere hour before their festival closing spot at this year’s FYF Fest.

On the other hand, the top-notch indie talent present–normally an overly bloated blast of hype—proved with flying colors the acclaim is all well deserved.

The metalsphere is loaded with American bands trying to sound like their Scandanavian counterparts, chiefly in the realm of deathcore and other violently loud genres. Turbonegro is the opposite—a Norwegian punk-metal five-piece with roots in American and British hardcore. With Sexual Harassment, their ninth studio album and first with new singer Tony Sylvester (AKA The Duke of Nothing), Turbonegro has produced its heaviest and most accessible album to date.
