Junkzll isn’t easing into the scene, he’s walking straight out of the shadows. His debut single “Trenches” feels like an origin story told in real time, the kind that doesn’t clean itself up for comfort. Coming out of Oslo, Norway, Junkzll uses this track as a clear introduction: this is who I am, this is where I’ve been, and I’m still standing.

Influenced by emotionally driven artists like Prinz and Rod Wave, Junkzll leans into vulnerability without turning it into a performance. “Trenches” is rooted in lived experience, abuse, bullying, mental illness, psychosis, and the weight of those moments is baked into every line. When he says he came from the trenches, it’s not metaphor-first, it’s memory-first. The track moves with that tension: pain on one side, focus on the other.
“Trenches” keeps things direct. There’s no overdoing it, no chasing trends, just space for emotion to land properly. Junkzll’s delivery sounds like someone who’s finally found his voice after being silent for too long. The hook sticks because it’s honest, not because it’s flashy. Lines about grinding, staying locked in on the goal, and pushing forward when no one showed up before feel earned, not scripted.

Junkzll isn’t trying to compete with anyone else’s lane. The recording process was about leaning into personal strengths, letting things come naturally, and staying original. That mindset shows. “Trenches” doesn’t feel like a standalone moment, it feels like chapter one. Junkzll has already hinted that many future tracks connect directly and indirectly to this song, making it the foundation of a bigger story. As Junkzll puts it best: “When you are down, the only way is up.” This track is that climb starting.
