Norway’s MISTUR Streaming “Distant Peaks” Lyric Video; In Memoriam Album Details Revealed
March 21, 2016, 8 years ago
Fans of Norwegian Viking metallers Mistur have waited a long for the follow-up to the band's 2009 debut, Attende, but that wait is finally over, with Dark Essence Records announcing that the new album, In Memoriam, will hit the streets on April 29th.
Having already debuted the opening track from the album (which can be heard below), Mistur today reveal a second track in the form of a lyric video. The video by Marte Ø Kornerud, for the track "Distant Peaks", includes cover art and portraits by Bjarne Egge, and nature photography by Marte and Liv Ø Kornerud, and can be found below.
Recorded at the Conclave & Earshot Studios in Bergen, and in the band's private studio, In Memoriam was produced by Mistur main man Espen Bakketeig and mixed by Bjørnar E. Nilsen. The album bears all the hallmarks of Mistur’s special brand of sognametal, this time with longer, more epic songs, complex layered arrangements, clever melodies and a touch of progressive elements, whilst never losing the unique sognametal style that lies at the very heart of the band.
With cover art by Bjarne Egge, In Memoriam is now available to pre-order in CD and digital formats here, and as a special bundle at this location.
