Indie Recordings have announced the signing of Norwegian experimental noise/metal masters TRINACRIA. The label will release the band's album Travel Now Journey Infinitely on April 14th.

Says the label, "Incongruous soundscapes, constantly exhilarating - challenging and highly innovative music preformed by Norway’s finest. Trinacria takes you across the border and into Neither-Neither land where beauty meets chaos. Featuring members from ENSLAVED, FE-MAIL and EMMERHOFF.

Indie Recordings is proud to present the most groundbreaking Norwegian musical outfit this year.

Trinacria is named after the ancient symbol of an eye enclosed by a pyramid, as shown on the American dollar bill.

The symbol has long been considered a coded emblem of international conspiracy and ties in with the project’s theme of the power of occult symbolism in the modern world. Trinacria was originally a composition by Ivar Bjørnson (Enslaved), Maja S. K. Ratkje and Hild Sofie Tafjord (both from Fe-mail), commissioned by Rikskonsertene for a concert series. The line-up was completed by Grutle Kjellson, Ice Dale (both from Enslaved), Iver Sandøy (Emmerhoff) and Espen Lien.

In short: after working together briefly, the composition turned into a vital project which, after touring became a fully welded band. The hard hitting sounds of cutting edge Norwegian extreme metal combined with contemporary Norwegian Noise’s finest makes for a unique blend. The result outdoes the sum of the products by far - Trinacria represents something unique on the music scene as a whole.

Trinacria is an abstraction in both aspects; musically and conceptually. It is an approximation towards something indefinable along the lines of “dark”, “occult” and perhaps “beauty & chaos”. It is as pretentious/ unpretentious as you want it to be - love it or hate it; very few end up in between."

In a press statement the band comments on the signing: ”We’re proud to see Trinacria’s debut album make it's way out into the world. We couldn’t be more pleased with the framework for this occasion: working the gentlepeople at Indie Recordings is a treat for any recording artist with a taste for communication and mutual respect. The road from what began as a one-off concert to this full-fledged maelstrom of a monster album has been nothing short of fantastic for all seven of us. We’re only curious to see where the Trinacria takes us next!”
