Black Medium Current - 2023 European Peaceville label 9-track 2LP set

A journey Through Boundless Layers Of Existence, For The New Studio Album Of Indrawn, Brooding Black Metal From Norwegian Pioneers.

Black Medium Current is the sixth studio album by longstanding Oslo based avant-garde pioneers Dødheimsgard. From their influential & successful beginnings as a raw & grim black metal outfit established during the ongoing swelling of the "second wave" in the early-mid 90's, Dødheimsgard has subsequently evolved into a truly eclectic behemoth with each landmark release; a band now undoubtedly adorned with the mastery of mood & texture through intricate, dark metallic wonderment & unnerving eloquence. 'Black Medium Current' continues on the path set by 2015's monumental & universally lauded 'A Umbra Omega' album; itself a deeply poignant & potent release of vast maturity & insight. And now mastermind Yusaf 'Vicotnik' Parvez returns with this expansive 70-minute venture through the fettered layers of the bleak existential cosmos. The result is an absorbing exploration through the fragility of the mind - nurtured & ultimately unmade through a process of belief & endless turmoil & contradiction & how it sews itself into our reality. 'Black Medium Current' also represents a very personal album for Vicotnik, riding the torrents of tribulation & loss, lusciously entwined within creation. Haunting, cathartic & exquisite moments of reflection, dissected & presented as a meticulously woven canvas of masterful & stirring music taking in a whole host of atmospheres & soundscapes encompassing the divine & the bizarre, from the depths of black metal to sombre more classically centred piano pieces.

'Black Medium Current' was recorded & mixed at Top-Room Studios by Matias Aaversen & produced by Vicotnik himself, with cover art courtesy of Lukasz Jaszak.

This edition of 'Black Medium Current' is presented on double gatefold vinyl.
