Mork - Syv

Peaceville - VILELP1167

A DEEP, INNOVATIVE & ECLECTIC CONCOCTION OF NORTHERN MAJESTY, FOR THE SEVENTH STUDIO OPUS IN THE MORK SAGA, AS THE BAND MARKS THE MILESTONE OF TWENTY YEARS OF EXISTENCE. Following on from mastermind Thomas Eriksen's self-titled Udåd project debut earlier this year; a dark release which explored the more underground & murkier-sounding waters of primitive black metal from a by-gone era, 'Syv' emerges as the new pinnacle of Mork's and Eriksen's ever-evolving journey, as well as a creative expansion both sonically & compositionally over all prior works. 'Syv' also undoubtedly represents Mork's most expressive and diverse works to date, with exquisite melodies interspersed with brutal and even occasionally progressive riffs amid an ever-present air of melancholy. This forms a perfect backdrop for Eriksen's thematic dive through the contemplations of looming mortality, and digressions through the depths and contrasts of human existence; from the blackness of despair, to the pride & strength in overcoming, as well as absorbing additional inspiration from tales of old. 'Syv' was performed, recorded & mixed by Eriksen himself, with engineering assisted by Freddy Holm (who also contributes with strings and synths). Mastering work on the album was carried out by notable studio mastering guru Maor Appelbaum (Sepultura) in collaboration with Jack Control at Enormous Door (Darkthrone). Now marking twenty years since inception - which has seen a strong rise through the tiers of the black metal scene - Mork was created by Thomas Eriksen in 2004 & was primarily a side-project from inception until the debut album, 'Isebakke', in 2013. Since then, with a constant flow of releases and live performances spanning various continents, the band has rightly earned the accolade as one of the top Norwegian black metal acts of recent years. This edition of 'Syv' is presented on classic black vinyl with a gatefold sleeve.
