Pesta

sachavonkarl74 A bit post-BM styled with the clean vocals part, which in my case I could do without, but the melodies and guitar work are regardless outstanding. "Pesta" is almost instrumental, while Valen has lots of clean vocals, the two live tracks are also great and constitute the best half of this 4-tracks EP. Still, Mork is Mork, right? Favorite track: Pesta.

lust4metal very good live tracks

The Mad Professor The digital purchase prices at Peaceville are fukking outrageous. So this E.P will do for now. $18.99 aud for a full album? Fuck off, Mork maybe valuable, but Peaceville are greedy

FOUR TRACK EP FROM THE REVERED NORWEGIAN BLACK METALLERS, FEATURING RECORDINGS ALL EXCLUSIVE TO THIS RELEASE

“Pesta is again creeping across the land.”

Following on from 2019’s ‘Det Svarte Juv’ comes a special release on Black Friday from highly regarded Norwegian outfit, Mork. ‘Pesta’ (plague) is the band’s new 4 track EP, its lead track composed as a reflection of the mood of current times, as well as drawing inspiration from the art and music world, with the main motivation to record the track stemming from a visit to locations portrayed in the works of celebrated Norwegian artist, Theodor Kittelsen. Mainman Thomas “Mork” Eriksen explains the origins of ‘Pesta’.

“The Norwegian artist Theodor Kittelsen (1857-1914) has been an important part of Norwegian Black Metal since the early 90’s. Kittelsen’s artwork has a haunting, eerie and mysterious effect. Most noteworthy is his work in the book “Svartedauden” (‘The Black Plague’) which was originally published in 1900. During a summer trip I passed through the valley where Kittelsen resided, and visited the farm, Lauvlia. While there I found out that a couple of the drawings in “Svartedauden” are based on actual places. The Kittelsen drawings “Pesta i trappa” and “Musstad” are based on a particular house on a different farm, where the artist lived for a while. A good friend of mine said that I should create a song to go along with the pictures, so it all fit nicely with the current Covid-19 situation, so I wrote a song about the Black Plague called ‘Pesta’.”

Complimenting ‘Pesta’ on side A is a special cover recording of ‘Valen’, presented as a haunting acoustic interpretation, while side B contains 2 live songs recorded during “Orgivm Satanicvm” in early 2020 in Oslo, Norway, with storming renditions of ‘En Sti Inn I Remmendalen’ from debut ‘Isebakke’, & ‘I Hornenes Bilde’ from the ‘Eremittens Dal’ opus.

Mork was created by Thomas Eriksen in 2004 & was primarily a side-project from inception until the debut album, ‘Isebakke’, in 2013. Since then the band has rightly earned their accolade as one of the top Norwegian black metal acts of recent years, receiving strong endorsements from their peers, as well as notable guest appearances from members of Darkthrone, Dimmu Borgir & 1349 on studio releases.

Algleymi
by Misþyrming

supported by 29 fans who also own “Pesta”

Tout est une question de perspective. En regardant la pochette d'Algleymi, on se dira : "c'est un constat d'échec de l'humanité face aux puissances cosmiques". Mais le gigantisme de cette silhouette est un signe que Misþyrming veut plutôt s'emparer de cette puissance et le black metal le confirmera très vite. Il est plus maîtrisé, massif et épique. Si le chant est déjà impressionnant, dégageant plus de haine, les guitares sont de leur côté absolument monumentales. Un chef-d'œuvre du genre ! Jordan Vauvert

Cult of a Dying Sun
by UADA

supported by 28 fans who also own “Pesta”

The "Cult..." is UADA's sophomore album, and among all, the one I largely prefer. The Vocal performance, to start with, is truly outstanding, and while I really liked their debut album, this one is more varied, and overall is technically superior to anything else I've heard from UADA. Fast, aggressive, but with enchanting melodies to break in between, à la Dissection. Highly recommended! sachavonkarl74

What an impressive piece of black metal. This one-man hurricane is pure art. Sgah‘gahsowáh creates an haunting atmosphere. He puts so much soul in his music. Sælzer Bub

Панихида
by Krzysztof Drabikowski

supported by 28 fans who also own “Pesta”

La traversée du désert n'aura pas duré quarante jours mais quatre longues années... Avec Панихида, Батюшка renaît enfin de ses cendres et, bien que désormais seul (ou plus exactement entouré de deux chanteurs), Христофор accomplit un miracle. Il s'inscrit dans la continuité de Литоургиiа avec un black metal orthodoxe qui nous convie ici à une cérémonie dédiée aux morts. Sa vision est englobante : les mélodies, la gravité et le silence font toucher le paradis ; l'agressivité est luciférienne. Jordan Vauvert
