NSP 070 :
Mörker - Höstmakter CD/A5Digi/LP

Release date: July, 25th 2008
After two years of
silence Mörker return with another fantastic album
of melodic northern Black Metal.
They kept true to their own style but once again
improved in aspects of musicianship and songwriting.
Where other bands change style as they go and thus
often lose the magic of their early days, Mörker
merely improve their own style to the utmost
possible degree while still keeping their
trademarks. Fans
of the band will recognize immediately that it can
only be Mörker who play but they will also notice
that,
along with an excellent production (thanks to the
mastering of Necromorbus) the songs themselves have
been arranged even more perfectly than in the past.
The album grabs you with the first note and takes
you along to show you the majestic Powers of Autumn
("Höstmakter") in all their primeval
beauty.
With their first two releases Mörker gained quite a
lot of fans and attention for a band who does not
follow any of today's trends - no suicide, no runes
on the cover, not even old master Satan lurking
between the lines, and still they are successful
with what they do because the music speaks for
itself.
Having witnessed this from the beginning and already
knowing the new album by heart I dare say
Mörker will lose not a single one of the old fans
with their new album but gain many new ones.
The CD is available as regular version in jewel case and as
special edition in A5 Digi, limited to 1000 copies.
The LP comes in gatefold cover with A2 poster and is
available as regular version in black vinyl, limited
to 300
copies, and as special edition in orange/black
splatter vinyl, limited to 200 copies, all
handnumbered as usual.
As special gimmick for vinyl collectors with a
faible for CDs the first 66 copies of the splatter
version come with
a Höstmakter CD as bonus!
