A disturbing new masterpiece of blackness from experimental and progressive black metal. Formed in 1994 by Vicotnik & Aldrahn in Norway, the band first released a debut album of raw and melodic black metal with Fenriz of Darkthrone on bass. They would quickly evolve toward a more avant-garde and schizophrenic sound that would leave its mark on the genre thanks to visionary music. In 4 albums, they are hailed as masters of extreme and psychotic black psychedelia! “A UmbraOmega” is the first studio album since 2007 and marks the return to vocals of founding member Aldrahn (Thorns/The Deathtrip) alongside Vicotnik. The result is unquestionably a pure success; here we have their most accomplished work. Indeed, without straying from its foundations, the band has managed to push its technique further and offers us an epic and totally unhinged record. Still as raw and organic as ever, the album’s production is handled by Vicotnik himself. The album was mastered at Strype Audio studio in Oslo by Tom Kvålsvoll.
