Dødheimsgard wurden reaktiviert

Im Juni 2013 lasen die Fans der norwegischen Avantgarde-Black-Metal-Band DØDHEIMSGARD zuletzt hier ein längeres Statement von Frontmann Vicotnik, darauf folgten Jahre ohne neues Material, aber nun ist die Überraschung gelungen: Am 16. März wird das fünfte Album der Truppe erscheinen! Es trägt den Namen „A Umbra Omega“ und wird via Peaceville Records auf den Markt kommen.

Das Label gab bekannt:
The first fruits of DHG’s re-animated labour manifest in the shape of new studio album, ‘A Umbra Omega’; the first release of a 2-part concept, with original co-founding member Aldrahn (Thorns/The Deathtrip) making a return to the asylum on vocal duties alongside Vicotnik’s exquisite & unconventional compositions & structures.

‘A Umbra Omega’ is DHG’s first album since 2007’s ‘Supervillain Outcast’ opus, and undoubtedly marks the band’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 ‘666 International’ and ‘Satanic Art’. A raw and organic production permeates the album courtesy of Vicotnik himself, with the album mastered at Strype Audio in Oslo by Tom Kvålsvoll.

Dødheimsgard 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.
