MORK – Syv (CD) NEW ALBUM

Description

Released on September 20th, 2024, the seventh studio album from MORK, aptly called “SYV” (“Seven”), crossing the threshold of twenty years roaming the northern woods. MORK frontman Thomas Eriksen continues his ever-evolving musical journey, with creative expansion both sonically & compositionally over all prior works. Exquisite melodies interspersed with brutal and even occasionally progressive riffs march through an ever-present air of melancholy.

We have reached the seventh chapter of the Mork saga. As I have stated earlier, it has been important for me to let the music evolve over the span of albums. It has really been a rewarding couple of years writing and recording “SYV”. When listening back the finished product I felt a great satisfaction. Brutal riffs meeting melancholy and melodic passages with a slight progressive approach. Lyrically scraping the bottom of human existence and frailty as well as touching an immense pride and strength. This is probably my most varied album to date. Which in my mind makes a perfect outcome and addition to the Mork catalogue. – Thomas Eriksen
