On the 17th of October 2025 - Exactly ten years to the day - Sterbhaus will finally release the full video footage of the entire show that became the Live album "Necrostabbing at Göta Källare" - An album that charted at #1 in physical sales in Sweden when released in 2021. The show was professionally filmed with six cameras and was only ever aired through a streaming event on July the 9th 2021.
Marcus of Sterbhaus: 'This is such a cool thing to watch - I mean we intended only to have the show filmed to have something else on the web other than hand held phone videos from the crowd. And we got a whole show when the band was at it's peak after having toured with Vader, Melechesh and Shining. It's also bittersweet - because we'd just released a terrific album and got cancelled from all the tours we had planned, got no festival bookings due to that and whatever we seemed to do to try to remedy that came back to bite us in the ass - like having the video for Bloodbarf banned for instance.'
Stockholm veterans Sterbhaus play Metal Deluxe which can be described as timeless Death, Thrash, Heavy, Black and Progressive Metal that is neither retro or modern. And Sterbhaus lines this with a heavy dose or dark wit humour.
The band is the home of Marcus Hammarström (previously Elvira Madigan 1998-2008, Shining and currently also in Veile - side project of Ghul from Mayhem), Jimmy Ahovalli and Erik Röjås (previously Ondskapt and Decadence). Started in 2007 as a five-piece and reformed several times since then, Sterbhaus ended up as a trio after having looked back on years releasing absolutely stellar albums, touring Europe (as support for Vader, Melechesh and Shining), South America and after having played several prestigious festivals such as Metal Town, Rock Harz, BlastFest, Extremefest which meant sharing the bill with Slipknot, Amon Amarth, Marilyn Manson, Behemoth, Opeth etc.
In 2025 Sterbhaus made a quite formidable return after a period of being fairly dormant and surprised the scene with the comeback single “Deth Bü Wolfe” which is the knuckle sandwich old/new/awaiting fans never saw coming.
The current status of Sterbhaus is actually quite unknown as the band announced its end in 2019 - while simultaneously making it very clear that there were still several releases to be made. One was the live album “Necrostabbing at Göta Källare” which achieved the unlikely feat of snagging the No1 sales position in Sweden for physical releases and No9 for all Metal and all formats!
While the debut “Angels for Breakfast ...And God for Lunch” (2013) seemed to open most evert door the album “New Level of Malevolence” (2015) - although popular and praised when released, seemed to close those doors instead. Several cancelled tours, being banned for offensive videos (a ridiculous claim ofc), botched promotions, even more cancellations and one or two empty festival seasons together with personal issues put Sterbhaus in such a tight spot the band had a hard time bouncing back. Marcus Hammarström joined Swedish extreme metal titans Shining and toured extensively while Sterbhaus released the Christmas EP “Krampusnacht”. Eventually Marcus quit Shining to focus on the 2025 Sterbhaus album "Next Akin to Chaos".
Either it will be a momentous epitaph or a new beginning.
