Djerv spawned out of the bands Trelldom, Animal Alpha and Stonegard as they entered the international rock and metal scene in 2011. The sound of Djerv is something different and can best be described as dangerously catchy aggressive rock wrapped in a black metal veil. Their self-titled debut album was engineered by Daniel Bergstrand (Meshuggah, In Flames), mixed by Matt Hyde (Deftones, No Doubt) and it received massive critical acclaim. After only two days in sale, the album crashed into the official Norwegian sales charts at an impressive #8. They were also the highest newcomer and #3 on Norwegian Artist Charts.

For example, vocalist Agnete Kjølsrud did vocals on Dimmu Borgir’s Gateways in 2010, a track that in 2022 has over 12 million streams. In 2013 Djerv released the track Get Jinxed together with League of Legends/Riot Games, and in 2022 this track has over 200 million streams across platforms. The band went under the radar for some years after this, but in 2019 they did a long-awaited comeback at the Tons of Rock festival in Norway. Since then, they have continued their journey and there is lots more to come…
