Description
SPECIAL DUAL COLOURED VINYL PRESSING 2015's 68 MINUTE DARK MASTERPIECE OF CHALLENGING & UNNERVING INTROSPECTION FROM THE NORWEGIAN EXPERIMENTAL BLACK METAL PURVEYORS.
Norway's Dodheimsgard was formed in 1994 by Vicotnik & Aldrahn. The early incarnation was that of a raw & melodic black metal band, with their debut album also featuring Fenriz of Darkthrone on bass, before a more avantgarde & often wildly experimental concoction started to take hold.
One of the top bands & boundary-pushing visionaries of the mid-90's Norwegian Black Metal evolution, & currently still riding high on the back of 2023's magnum opus, 'Black Medium Current', DHG are widely hailed as masters of dark & psychotic psychedelia-tinged extremity.
The first fruits of DHG's re-animated labour manifested in the shape of the 2015 studio album, 'A Umbra Omega', with original co-founding member Aldrahn (Thorns/Urarv) making a return to the asylum on vocal duties alongside Vicotnik's exquisite & unconventional compositions & structures.
'A Umbra Omega' was DHG's first album since 2007's 'Supervillain Outcast' opus, & marked 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' & 'Satanic Art', whilst being taken to a whole new level.
A raw & organic production permeates the album courtesy of Vicotnik himself, with the album mastered at Strype Audio in Oslo by Tom Kvalsvoll.
This special limited pressing of 'A Umbra Omega' is presented on a dual coloured vinyl, in gatefold sleeve.
