NSP 070 :
Mörker - Höstmakter CD/A5Digi/LP
Release date: July, 25th 2008
After two years of
silence Mörker return with another fantastic album of melodic northern
Black Metal.
They kept true to their own style but once again improved in aspects of
musicianship and songwriting.
Where other bands change style as they go and thus often lose the magic
of their early days, Mörker
merely improve their own style to the utmost possible degree while
still keeping their trademarks. Fans
of the band will recognize immediately that it can only be Mörker who
play but they will also notice that,
along with an excellent production (thanks to the mastering of
Necromorbus) the songs themselves have
been arranged even more perfectly than in the past. The album grabs you
with the first note and takes
you along to show you the majestic Powers of Autumn ("Höstmakter") in
all their primeval beauty.
With their first two releases Mörker gained quite a lot of fans and
attention for a band who does not
follow any of today's trends - no suicide, no runes on the cover, not
even old master Satan lurking
between the lines, and still they are successful with what they do
because the music speaks for itself.
Having witnessed this from the beginning and already knowing the new
album by heart I dare say
Mörker will lose not a single one of the old fans with their new album
but gain many new ones.
The CD is available as regular version in jewel case and as special
edition in A5 Digi, limited to 1000 copies.
The LP comes in gatefold cover with A2 poster and is available as
regular version in black vinyl, limited to 300
copies, and as special edition in orange/black splatter vinyl, limited
to 200 copies, all handnumbered as usual.
As special gimmick for vinyl collectors with a faible for CDs the first
66 copies of the splatter version come with
a Höstmakter CD as bonus!
