Description

2015's 68 MINUTE DARK MASTERPIECE OF CHALLENGING & UNNERVING INTROSPECTION FROM THE NORWEGIAN EXPERIMENTAL BLACK METAL PURVEYORS

Norwayâ€™s DÃ¸dheimsgard was formed in 1994 by Vicotnik & Aldrahn. The early incarnation was that of a raw and melodic black metal band, with their debut album also featuring Fenriz of Darkthrone on bass, before the poisons of a more avantgarde & schizophrenic concoction started to take hold.

One of the top bands and boundary-pushing visionaries of the mid-90â€™s Norwegian Black Metal evolution, having released 4 full-length albums since their inception, DHG are widely hailed as masters of dark & psychotic psychedelia-tinged extremity.

The first fruits of DHGâ€™s re-animated labour manifested in the shape of the 2015 studio album, â€˜A Umbra Omegaâ€™, with original co-founding member Aldrahn (Thorns/The Deathtrip) making a return to the asylum on vocal duties alongside Vicotnikâ€™s exquisite & unconventional compositions & structures.

â€˜A Umbra Omegaâ€™ was DHGâ€™s first album since 2007â€™s â€˜Supervillain Outcastâ€™ opus, and marked the bandâ€™s most challenging work to date; twisted, technical, sprawling epics & an inverted outlook on existence from the depths of band mastermind/writer/producer Vicotnik, with similarities drawn to previous classic DHG works such as â€˜666 Internationalâ€™ and â€˜Satanic Artâ€™, whilst being taken to a whole new level.

A raw and organic production permeates the album courtesy of Vicotnik himself, with the album mastered at Strype Audio in Oslo by Tom KvÃ¥lsvoll.
