Picture two teenage riff-lords in 1980s Östersund, Sweden, cranking out NWOBHM-inspired anthems in bands like Rebellion and Grime Crime. Fast-forward four decades, and Håkan Mårtensson and Jonas Öhlund—think of them as rock’s answer to fine wine—are back, dusting off their axes for Severe Overbite’s fiery second single, “Roll With The Punches” (out April 21). Who said you can’t teach old dogs new riffs?
 
These guys aren’t just reliving glory days—they’re rewriting them. After reuniting in 2022 to resurrect Rebellion-era tracks, they dropped a self-released debut album in 2024, a nostalgia bomb blending ’82-’85 relics with a freshly minted anthem, “The Mountain”. Now? They’re ditching the full-LP playbook for two standalone singles. Smart move? You bet. Why drown listeners in 12 tracks when two scorching bangers do the trick?
 
“Roll With The Punches” sticks to the script: twin guitars snarling like hungry wolves, choruses you’ll shout into a hairbrush, and riffs heavier than a Stockholm winter. It’s NWOBHM with a Nordic twist—Black Sabbath meets fika breaks. The DIY spirit? Alive and kicking: no label, no fuss, just two mates chasing that 80s dragon.
 

 
Severe Overbite is a time machine. Mårtensson’s vocals still bite, Öhlund’s riffs still soar, and their chemistry? Pure dynamite. These Swedes remind us that metal never dies—it just gets louder. Now, go hit play. Your inner headbanger will thank you.
