The English translation of Allt Är Intet is “All Is Nothingness” 
– an apt enough title for a band already possessed of the 
scorched earth sonic tendencies and nihilist-leaning name 
of The End. Yet there’s some ambiguity to that philosophy; 
the most bleak and despairing interpretation can be countered 
by a more all-embracing, one-with-the-universe meditativeness. 

Perhaps surprisingly, either conclusion proves to fit Allt Är Intet, 
the remarkable second full-length album by The End. 
The powerhouse international quintet is made up of 
Swedish saxophonist Mats Gustafsson 
(Fire!, The Thing), Norwegian saxophonist Kjetil Møster 
(Møster!, Zanussi 5), Ethiopian-born vocalist 
Sofia Jernberg (Fire! Orchestra, PAAVO), Norwegian 
guitarist Anders Hana (MoHa!, Ultralyd(, and Norwegian 
drummer Børge Fjordheim (Cloroform). 

Anyone familiar with these boundary-leaping musicians’ 
work is familiar with their throttling ferocity and ability 
to stretch their music into brutal extremes with focused 
intensity, as evidenced throughout The End’s audacious 
2018 debut, Svarmod Och Vemod Är Värdesinnen 
(which featured Deerhoof drummer Greg Saunier in lieu 
of Fjordheim). But their follow-up, achieved after 
two years of continued exploration together, strikes an 
exhilarating balance between its predecessor’s blistering 
maelstroms and a more densely layered and haunting beauty.
