Norwegian black metallers Nattverd has announced 26 May as the release date for their fourth album, I Helvetes Forakt, coming out via Soulseller Records.
Hailing from Bergen, Norway, Nattverd initially started in the 90s, but due to reasons beyond control, the band's official formation got delayed until 2014. During this period, some tracks were written by founders Ormr (vocals, guitar) and Atyr (guitar), which later culminated in Nattverd's debut album, Vi vet gud Er En Løgner, in 2017. On this album, Ormr and Atyr recruited Serpentr on drums, and the record received great critical acclaim in the underground scene. A year later, they released the EP Skuggen, which featured Skjolden on guest drums, from Norway's infamous Fester. Shortly after this EP, they wrote their second album, Styggdom, and recruited drummer Antichristian (ex-Tsjuder) and bassist Sveinr (Nordjevel, ex-Ragnarok).
Nattverd then scored a record deal with Osmose Productions and eventually released Styggdom in 2020 through the label to high praise in the media. In 2021, they released their third album, Vandring - also through Osmose - and were signed by Flaming Arts Agency to take their music to the live arena. On this album, Aven joined the band on guitars, and after the album, they parted ways with drummer Antichristian. They were then joined by drummer Renton (ex-Urgehal, ex-Sarkom), which led to the band recording their fourth album in Caliban Studio Storsjøen.
Titled I Helvetes Forakt, Nattverd's fourth album is the first with new label home Soulseller Records, longtime fans of the band. Much as its cover art forecasts the contents ahead, I Helvetes Forakt effortlessly transports the listener to wintry, alluringly desolate landscapes, working as much atmospherically as they do aggressively. More than ever, Nattverd embodies the cryogenic majesty of classic Norwegian black metal, conjured during the glorious 1990s but, by no means, tethered to that past. If anything, the quintet has its sights set on the distant future, patiently pushing its sound forward to icier heights (and depths) whilst maintaining its distinct poise and personality. And to punctuate the release of I Helvetes Forakt, Nattverd is confirmed to play Steelfest Open Air 2023.
Stay tuned for the first upcoming album's track, supposably coming shortly. Link
