Exclusive Song Premiere of Post-Rock/Post-Metal Duo CITIZEND New Song ETERNAL MACHINE

Citizend is made up of Emil Gustavsson and multi-instrumentalist and producer Otto Nilsson. The duo shares a vision of breaking down traditional genre borders and creating music where storytelling takes the lead. Their work blends sound, themes and atmosphere into something that moves between the cinematic and the intimate.

After the critically acclaimed release of The Spiral EP in 2024 with Majestic Mountain Records, which marked Citizend’s breakthrough and defined their dark, conceptual sound, the group has started working on the follow-up album DoomsVille.

The Spiral took listeners on an existential journey through the stages of life. Each song explored the human experience, the moments that shape us and society’s struggle to break destructive patterns. The result was a cohesive and emotionally gripping story.

With DoomsVille, Citizend continues to expand its artistic vision. This time the music unfolds in a dystopian city, where every song represents a character or a force within its collapsing world. The project brings together music, literature, sound and visual art into one immersive experience that challenges both form and genre.

Citizend’s sound draws on a wide range of influences where post rock meets Americana and the heavier side of rock, creating what they call their own form of Noirmericana.

Artists that have inspired the band include Mark Lanegan, Wovenhand, Ossler, Nine Inch Nails, Neurosis, Steve Von Till, Christian Kjellvander and The Afghan Whigs.

Thanks to the awesome folks over at Majestic Mountain Records, we're excited to premiere the brilliantly atmospheric song Eternal Machine from Citizend.
