Ondt Blod is a prominent Norwegian hardcore band originating from Kirkenes and based in Tromsø. Since their formation in the early 2010s, they have become a vital part of the 'Arctic Hardcore' scene, distinguished by their use of northern Norwegian dialects and lyrics that often touch upon regional identity, indigenous Sami culture, and social critique.
Their sound is a high-energy fusion of traditional hardcore punk, post-hardcore, and melodic rock elements, often compared to Kvelertak for their ability to blend extreme metal aggression with catchy, rock-and-roll hooks. Critically, they are praised for their 'Finnmark' album, which solidified their position as leaders in the Norwegian underground. Their influence stems from their ability to modernize the punk aesthetic while honoring the 'sangskatt' (song heritage) of Northern Norway, albeit through a lens of 'machine-gun riffs' and 'desperate screams.' They represent a bridge between the raw intensity of the DIY punk scene and the polished production of contemporary alternative metal.
