About us

With the human visual field spanning 120 degrees the Copenhagen-based trio of Dirt Forge brings you the full 360. Heavy guitar riffs, chords and odd time signatures whirling around in a vortex of soundscapes, synths and interchanging roles of the instruments drag the listener through a lyric world of human flaws and inadequacies. Circling around progressive song writing there are no do’s/don’ts in the world of Dirt Forge – only ventures into the void of musical exploration.

After the critically acclaimed debut, ‘Soothsayer’, Dirt Forge is now ready with sophomore album ‘Interspheral’. Exploring a much more experimental page of the heavier side of metal, Dirt Forge now steps even further outside the boundaries of what is expected within the genre. With producer Lasse Ballade at the helm (Solbrud, Slægt, Konvent) and Brad Boatright doing the mastering, Dirt Forge has now teamed up with Stockholm-based powerhouse label Majestic Mountain Records for a match made in heaven.
