PlanetMosh Keeping it Metal
Dødheimsgard, Norway’s premier experimental extremists who released their fifth album, titled ‘A Umbra Omega’, earlier this year are set to tour Europe in March 2016 with Secrets of the Moon, Thulcandra and Our Survival Depends on us.One of the top bands and boundary-pushing visionaries of the mid-90’s Norwegian Black Metal evolution, DHG are widely hailed as masters of dark & psychotic psychedelia-tinged extremity.
‘A Umbra Omega’ was DHG’s first album since 2007’s ‘Supervillain Outcast’ opus, and undoubtedly marked the band’s most challenging work to date; twisted, technical, sprawling epics & an inverted outlook on existence from the depths of band mastermind/writer/producer Vicotnik, with similarities drawn to previous classic DHG works such as ‘666 International’ and ‘Satanic Art’. A raw and organic production permeated the album courtesy of Vicotnik himself, with the album mastered at Strype Audio in Oslo by Tom Kvålsvoll and released on Peaceville Records.
Dødheimsgard was formed in 1994 by Vicotnik & Aldrahn. The early incarnation was that of a raw and melodic black metal band, with their debut album ‘Kronet til Konge’ (20th anniversary edition coming 11th December) also featuring Fenriz of Darkthrone on bass, before the poisons of a more avantgarde & schizophrenic concoction started to take hold.
The European tour with see Dødheimsgard perform at London’s ‘Underworld’ on 10th March 2016.
