THE NEW OPUS OF MONUMENTAL DARKNESS FROM THE PURVEYOR OF
BRUTAL & MESMERISING NORWEGIAN BLACK METAL - PRESENTED ON CD
IN A JEWEL CASE / PEARL ARCTIC & BLACK MARBLE VINYL / BLACK VINYL.
Norwegian titan, Mork, was created by Thomas Eriksen in 2004, with the
debut album 'Isebakke' eventually surfacing in 2013
Since then, Mork has been ceaselessly rising through the echelons of Black Metal, &
on the heels of 2024's intense & groundbreaking 'Syv' opus - which has resulted in the
band branching out with tours in the Far East & Australia - Eriksen continues on this
evolutionary path with the new album, & what is undoubtedly set to be a new
benchmark, 'Monolitt'.
"A stark monument to the unrelenting brutality of reality, the monolith looms above us,
immovable, indifferent, eternal. Its crushing presence bears down on the spirit,
suffocating hope & testing the limits of endurance. It is an experience carved in stone,
unyielding". - Thomas Eriksen
'Monolitt' is an album that further expands the sonic & atmospheric depth of existing
Mork releases; unafraid to challenge the listener, while steadfastly rooted in the cold
traditions of the genre. With this uncompromising vision & direction for 'Monolitt',
Mork delivers a sound which is brutal yet expansive, whilst also heavy & epic, for a
relentless journey through the shadows of Norwegian Black Metal, while forging new
paths within that ancient & revered framework.
Across these songs, themes of collapse, transformation, isolation, & destruction form
the central pillars. From the crushing burden of existence to spectral wanderings
through forgotten landscapes, 'Monolitt' explores the human condition through bleak
introspection & grand imagery. Nature rages, giants awaken, faith crumbles, all in
pursuit of experience beyond the limits of flesh & mind.
'Monolitt' was recorded & performed primarily by Thomas Eriksen, with Asgeir
Mickelson supplying drums, plus additional guest vocals coming from Oyvind
Kaslegard of 'Svart Lotus'. The album was mixed at Toproom Studio by Borge Finstad
(Mayhem), before being mastered by Jack Control at Enormous Door (Darkthrone), &
at Appelbaum Mastering by Maor Appelbaum (Sepultura). The bold & striking cover
image was created by Norwegian artist Kjell Age Melland
