Arabrot

Kjetil Nernes is a survivor.

He is, for all intents and purposes, the Norwegian rock band Arabrot, who formed in Haugesund, Norway in 2001.

After stalking the blackened, grimey European noise rock underground for years, a rupturing change came in the form of serious illness in 2014.

After contracting a rare and aggressive form of cancer, he nearly died; but the lengthy, painful experience of treatment and recovery gave him the time and space to reconsider his entire life including his artistic practice.
