Penitent - Melancholia Redux
What kind of emotions guides us when we feel the loss of hope and the whole life seems to be nothing but a mournful bridge over a river of tears? One got to live ones life, and bear all the pain and sorrows, sadness and depression. Fatal for the majority, these dark emotions may become the pleasure for the others and give them power to survive. The punishment will come and everybody will be punished one way or another. To await or to undergo this punishment is to be aPenitent.
We are proud to announce "Melancholia Redux" of the Norwegian Dark/Industrial/Ambient/Experimental pioneersPenitentin various formats.
Karsten Hamre,Penitent's heart & soul, has followed a peculiar personal path and for more than three decades has remained absolutely consistent, dressing his poetry in black and eerie melodies. Not only did the passing of time not deter him, on the contrary today he is possessed by a freshness that is like doing a complete restart. On the one hand he has re-recorded a large part of the 10 albums he has released to date, while at the same time making his own plans for the future.
Our collaboration withPenitentbegins with the re-release of the now legendary debut "Melancholia", released byCold Meat Industryin 1996. Although the term re-release in this particular case is not accurate, as almost everything has been changed. The album was re-recorded, there is new artwork & new mastering.
