Dannish black metallers Solbrud will release their third full lenght album entitled Vemod (Danish for sadness) on 9th June via Vendetta Records and Indisciplinarian. A work where the band’s unique black metal accompanied by pessimistic premonitions of the imminent fall of mankind forges a grandiose, poetic and deeply personal expression. On Vemod, Solbrud opens up an all encompassing dimension of sound and words, in which the listener encounters the tale of what we are, what we were and what the world one day will be without us.
Vemod unfolds a pessimistic view on man, its nature and its role in this world. Due to its folly and greediness, mankind is on the verge of destroying itself, and the few who have realised this must necessarily turn their backs to the world, as it has become, and wander their own path - into the great wide open, into themselves, to return to their origins and once again become one with nature and its forces. The few see what lies ahead, they sense the fall and the eternal goodbye. From this Vemod, a sadness emerges due to our destiny, due to the loss, due to the world soon to be dead to mankind. This is not a Fall in the Christian sense, but instead it is the ultimate fall: Man, who betrays himself and his origin, nature and the good that might after all exist within us. The rejection of the world, as it has become, emerges from love of nature that we are derived from, and which we are in the process of destroying. But first, we will destroy ourselves and when mankind has perished, nature and the universe will live on as had we never been here.
From the birth of Solbrud (Danish for sun breach) in 2009, the aim has been to forge melodic and evocative compositions in a raw, storm-like expression; a sound generally achieved by coupling unrelenting drumming with chord and harmony based guitar riffs through an array of effects, creating an intense and atmospheric soundscape - or in fewer words: black metal. The self-titled debut was released in 2012, and in 2014 Jærtegn followed. Both albums and the quartet’s emotional and intense live performances have since then consolidated Solbrud as a band with a special, artistic vision unfolding in non-compromising and boundary pushing black metal.
