ATENA Join Forces With ANDREAS BJULVER Of CABAL On “Balkan Express”

Oslo, Norway-based metalcore outfit ATENA return with “Balkan Express,” a new single accompanied by an official music video featuring ANDREAS BJULVER of Danish deathcore outfit CABAL. The collaboration brings together two acts from the Scandinavian heavy music scene, pairing ATENA’s modern metalcore identity with the guest appearance of one of Denmark’s recognisable extreme metal voices. With the video now available, “Balkan Express” puts the focus on this cross-border collaboration and gives listeners a fresh release to explore from the Norwegian outfit.

The addition of ANDREAS BJULVER gives the track a direct connection to CABAL, the Copenhagen-based band known for their extreme approach to modern heavy music. His appearance adds another dimension to the collaboration, bringing together different corners of the Scandinavian scene under one release. Rather than standing as a typical single-artist offering, “Balkan Express” places the partnership between ATENA and BJULVER at the centre of its identity.

ATENA have developed their sound within Norway’s modern metalcore landscape, building a catalogue that draws on the genre’s shifting dynamics and contemporary heaviness. Their collaboration with BJULVER extends that musical conversation beyond their home country, connecting the Oslo outfit with Denmark’s extreme metal community. The official music video gives the track a visual counterpart, bringing the collaboration to audiences through a dedicated audiovisual release.

With “Balkan Express,” ATENA and ANDREAS BJULVER bring two Scandinavian heavy music names together for a new collaboration that crosses borders and styles. The release offers fans of ATENA and CABAL a reason to check out the track, while introducing the partnership to listeners discovering either act for the first time.
