HUDSULT

From Aarhus, Denmark, Hudsult are a queer post-hardcore collective who channel vulnerability and fury with rare, unguarded honesty. Their name Hudsult – the Danish word for a state of longing for physical touch or skin-to-skin closeness – sets the emotional tone for a band drawn to the rawest edges of human need. Emerging in 2023, they carved out space for voices that refuse to be softened or sanitised, fusing the urgency of screamo with poetic introspection and a distinctly Scandinavian emotional intensity. Their debut EP Tit er jeg glad… (Part Time Records, 2024) confronts loneliness, identity, and the ache of feeling “too much” in a world that constantly demands less. Sung in Danish, the lyrics land with the sting of private confessions shouted into the light.

Hudsult’s sound lives in the fragile seam between tenderness and rupture. Songs swing from whisper-soft reflection to explosive catharsis — a collision of melodic screamo, raw post-hardcore, and nerve-exposed emo. These are not songs built on pose or armour; they bare teeth and heart in the same breath. Hudsult write and perform with an immediacy that makes every emotion feel present-tense, unfiltered, and inescapably human.

WHAT TO EXPECT

‍A Hudsult performance hits like a confession whispered through a megaphone. Expect noise and tenderness intertwined: intimate vocals cutting through gritty textures, tension swelling into catharsis. The energy in the room becomes personal – not spectacle, but closeness. Their shows feel like standing heart-to-heart with strangers, sharing the same pulse, the same ache, the same longing to feel something real.
