A new highlight of meticulously composed atmospheric \u0026amp; grim yet anthemic darkness, with ‘Dypet’ Mork creates a tapestry of gloom-soaked tension amid the nightmarish soundscapes. At once forlorn yet uplifting ‘Dypet’ marks a natural progression of Eriksen’s ongoing evolution as a songwriter with a continued push for new ideas \u0026amp; sounds, whilst retaining the core essence of Mork’s foundation in ice cold hypnotic black metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\nThe inspiration \u0026amp; concept for the title track itself (\u0026amp; cover art) involves a twist on the Cthulhu Mythos by H.P. Lovecraft; in this instance turned into a Norwegian scenario where there is a cult on the coast that has worshipped “Draugen” (A mythical sea ghost in Norwegian lore) for generations.

With this uncompromising vision \u0026amp; direction for ‘Monolitt’, Mork delivers a sound which is brutal yet expansive, whilst also heavy \u0026amp; epic, for a relentless journey through the shadows of Norwegian Black Metal, while forging new paths within that ancient \u0026amp; revered framework.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcross these songs, themes of collapse, transformation, isolation, \u0026amp; 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 \u0026amp; grand imagery. Nature rages, giants awaken, faith crumbles, all in pursuit of experience beyond the limits of flesh \u0026amp; mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e‘Monolitt’ was recorded \u0026amp; performed primarily by Thomas Eriksen, with Asgeir Mickelson supplying drums, plus additional guest vocals coming from Øyvind Kaslegard of ‘Svart Lotus’.
