Norwegian black metal unit Gjendød has set 28 June as the release date of its fifth album, Livskramper, which will come out via Osmose Productions on CD, vinyl, and cassette tape formats.
It's no surprise that Livskramper also follows that path of constant changes, this time a 90-degree turn, very well helped by the new drummer TK, whose most-listened previous work might be the Trøndertun session by Thorns. TK is another injection of mad supremacy into the spine of the band.
A fine and varied black metal album which includes a spectrum of feelings, from sheer passiveness to outraged despair - every second of the album is a life cramp. All draped in the crushing sound recorded in the infamous NordStern studios. A narcissistic scolding album of life aggressively roared and whispered in dialect.
The first Livskramper's track will see the light of day on 27 May. Link
