A Umbra Omega

by Dodheimsgard (DHG)

supported by

Jordan Vauvert A Umbra Omega est dans la lignée de 666 International : avant-gardiste, imprévisible, inconstant mais il est bien plus organique. Le black metal y sert de catalyseur pour une folie sans borne capable de conjuguer technique à la précision millimétrée et expérimentations démentes qui apparaissent avec une spontanéité à en donner des sueurs froides.

《 There is a place called reality
Hidden to all men
You can reach it through insanity
But never to return again 》
— Dødheimsgard, "Aphelion Void". Favorite track: Aphelion Void.

Ippocalyptica On par with the very best black metal of all time, and for that matter, any and all metal, period. When I first heard this seven years ago, I was not ready to appreciate its polyglot mastery, such was the scope of its avant-garde nature and the intensity with which it was presented. With A Umbra Omega, DHG owned the whole “jazz in black metal” trend before it even got off of the ground, and they were - and arguably remain - the classiest purveyors of technical BM around. A work for the ages!

about

THE NORWEGIAN EXPERIMENTAL BLACK PROGRESSIVE METAL PURVEYORS RETURN WITH A 68 MINUTE DARK MASTERPIECE OF CHALLENGING & UNNERVING INTROSPECTION.

Norway’s 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.

One of the top bands and boundary-pushing visionaries of the mid-90’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 DHG’s re-animated labour manifest in the shape of new studio album, ‘A Umbra Omega’, 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’ 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 Kvålsvoll.

The album description mentions an “emotional apex.” That’s really the difference between Stare and the band’s previous albums. Ulcerate was always supremely technically proficient. I just didn’t care all that much. Their growth has come from making music you will feel. Metallurgical Fire
