Anthony Fox This is one of the more interesting black metal albums I’ve heard this year. Lofi but sounds good, really atmospheric but guitar focused. Take a melody and break it down, deconstruct and reconstruct it. Really interesting stuff.

sachavonkarl74 I had this one for quite some time on pre-order. Raw, Norwegian black metal, a new project paying "hommage" (tribute) to the trve kvlt initiators? give a try, see what you think...

about

The first offering from Udåd, courtesy of Mork’s Thomas Eriksen. Primitive, raw and real Norwegian Black Metal.

Udåd is the new act from Thomas Eriksen of current Norwegian black metal masters, Mork. As his main band evolves ever further into complex and elaborately textured moods and atmospheres, and after reflecting back on Mork’s first album ‘Isebakke’ as the framework for this new vessel in the pursuit of pure black metal grimness, Eriksen delved deeply into this stream of influence to create somewhat of an antithesis to current day Mork, with something utterly “nekro” in its motivations and execution. An unpretentious exploration of the brutal reality of death and the lack of meaning in life.

With a completely stripped down and cold approach, bringing to mind the spellbinding, almost dungeon-like recording sounds from the burgeoning early 1990s black metal movement, this is an exploration of absolute and relentless darkness, for a sparse and primitive trip through the mental abyss of raw feeling. Influence for this self-titled opus also came from outside of the sphere of metal, having being introduced to the works of cinematographer Jørg Buttgereit, more specifically “Der Todesking”, with its art based on the raw and ugly truths that humanity bares within it’s flesh. Udåd is therefore Eriksen’s “Der Todesking”.

Performances and engineering duties were conducted by Eriksen himself at Atomen Studios in Halden, Norway, with mastering carried out by Jack Control at Enormous Door (Darkthrone, Mork).

WOW! This album strikes like a thunderclap and throws you into a churning hailstorm interspersed with glorious color as the light refracts from the crystals. A howling, turbulent, thrashing sea and pelting rainy gale upon the rocky mountainside. Enslaved also maintain their crown of “progressive:” not wanky noodly noodly stuff, but thought-provoking, unexpected, and COLORFUL shifts and turns of rhythm, chord, key, and mood. Very Rush-like. A true privilege to see them at Fire in the Mountains. pinkytheent
