Danish atmospheric black metal collective Orm just released its third album, Intet • Altet, through Indisciplinarian. Intet • Altet (The Nothing • The All) is a double album once again expanding on Orm’s epic and visionary black metal, a narrative of four life phases, which unfolds over four grandiose compositions with a total running time of ninety-two minutes.
Intet • Altet tackles the four stages of life, inspired by the band’s own progression - personally and musically. Each of the four compositions centers around a distinct life stage: the fiery youth, the burdened adult, the ascetic hermit, and finally the ascension into the next realm. The lyrics are inspired by the psalms and legends that mark the passage between the life stages, and ultimately the inevitable passage from life to death.
Intet • Altet was recorded and produced by Orm’s Simon Sonne Andersen, mastered by Frederik Brandt Jacobsen, and carries artwork by Raoul Mazzero (View From The Coffin) with photography by Naya Buch and Adriana Zak. Also appearing on the album is trumpet player Mads Peter Steenstrop and violinist Nils Gröndahl (Kellermensch, Under Byen).
The band states on the album: “Today, we release Intet • Altet, and we are extremely proud to finally share our work with you in its entirety. We have invested ourselves personally in Intet • Altet to an extraordinary degree. We have laughed, cried, and fought, and we have worked tirelessly long into the night. We have strived to express our vision in the midst of all the chaos around us, and the chaos has merged and melted into us, and through us into the music. We sincerely hope that you will listen to our work with patience, concentration, and an open heart, and together with us despair, wonder and celebrate the nature of life.”
