Drott, a new project comprised of Arve Isdal (Enslaved), Ivar Thormodsæter (Ulver) and Matias Monsen, and hails from Bergen in the west coast of Norway, will release the first full-length, Orcus, on the 24th of September via By Norse Music. Today they unveiled the first single and video "The Marauders".
With their varied musical background ranging from metal and jazz to classical music, they create the genre which can only be described as Drott. Inspired by forces of nature, superstition and spirituality the trio explores light within darkness through their music.
The group, recently established (2020), released their self-titled EP in March 2021 and received great reviews. It established Drott's instrumental progressive rock sound like a breath of fresh air in the genre. Their first full-length Orcus takes Drott in a new creative and artistic direction. With 10 tracks they dive deeper into sonic, experimental landscapes!
Drott comment on "The Marauders": ""The Marauders" are not visible through the layers of mist. You can hear them hanging in ropes and sharpening their tools of mischief before their dire intentions are manifested through slow, dark riffs and slaughtering, heavy beats. They are lost souls roaming the Underworld, vicious murderers and thieves constantly searching for prey." The video was directed by Arve Isdal, and filmed by Arve Isdal and Cathrine Wespestad. Link
