This forms a perfect backdrop for Eriksen's thematic dive through the contemplations of looming mortality \u0026amp; digressions through the depths \u0026amp; contrasts of human existence; from the blackness of despair, to the pride \u0026amp; strength in overcoming, as well as absorbing additional inspiration from tales of old.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'Syv' was performed, recorded \u0026amp; mixed by Eriksen himself, with engineering assisted by Freddy Holm (who also contributes with strings \u0026amp; synths). Mastering work on the album was carried out by notable studio mastering guru Maor Appelbaum (Sepultura) in collaboration with Jack Control at Enormous Door (Darkthrone).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow marking twenty years since inception - which has seen a strong rise through the tiers of the black metal scene - Mork was created by Thomas Eriksen in 2004 \u0026amp; was primarily a side-project from inception until the debut album, 'Isebakke', in 2013. Since then, with a constant flow of releases \u0026amp; live performances spanning various continents, the band has rightly earned the accolade as one of the top Norwegian black metal acts of recent years.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peaceville","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50427057471819,"sku":"2211382","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Cream LP","offer_id":50427057930571,"sku":"2217793","price":32.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50427056849227,"sku":"2211368","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_4fd4b0eb_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726821049","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/syv","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
