Following on from mastermind Thomas Eriksen's self-titled "Udad" project debut
earlier this year; a dark release which explored the more underground & murkiersounding waters of primitive black metal from a by-gone era, 'Syv' emerges as the new pinnacle of Mork's & Eriksen's ever- evolving journey, as well as a creative
expansion both sonically & compositionally over all prior works.
'Syv' also undoubtedly represents Mork's most expressive & diverse works to date, with exquisite melodies interspersed with brutal & even occasionally progressive riffs amid an ever- present air of melancholy. This forms a perfect backdrop for Eriksen's thematic dive through the contemplations of looming mortality & digressions through the depths & contrasts of human existence; from the blackness of despair, to the pride & strength in overcoming, as well as absorbing additional inspiration from tales of old.
'Syv' was performed, recorded & mixed by Eriksen himself, with engineering assisted by Freddy Holm (who also contributes with strings & synths). Mastering work on the album was carried out by notable studio mastering guru Maor Appelbaum (Sepultura) in collaboration with Jack Control at Enormous Door (Darkthrone).
