From Majestic Mountain Records:
Majestic Mountain Records is proud to announce a special collab release with Oslo’s Vinter Records for an ultra-limited edition of brutal heavies, Norna and their exceptional debut album, »Star Is Way, Way Is Eye«.
Pre-sale begins Friday, December 17th at 12:00: majesticmountainrecords.bigcartel.com/product/norna-norna
An atmospherically dense, harrowingly heavy debut release, »Star Is Way, Way Is Eye« comes blasting through the ether with an absolutely towering display of deeply gloomy, sludgy, post-metal power. A magnificent journey through malevolently creeping swathes of jagged light and abyssal darkness, Norna simply batter the listener with a colossally rich and unctuous soundscape of pure, thunderous hell, poured like burning tar from the ancient vessels of Gehenna and filled with miasmic agony, tumultuous torment, fire and bloody brimstone.
Five tracks of exceptionally balanced, tectonic heft, resulting in a destructive wall of sound that’s as brutal as it is blindingly beautiful. Norna’s »Star Is Way, Way Is Eye« is a canonical release sure to reach heights only akin to its infinitely masterful depth. Do not sleep on this gorgeously grisly album!
Norna, formed just a year ago by members from Breach, Ølten and The Old Wind, hail from the cold north of Sweden and the epic vastness of the Swiss Alps. The band consists of Swedish hardcore pioneer Tomas Liljedahl (Breach, The Old Wind) and Swiss underground troopers Christophe Macquat and Marc Theurillat (Ølten).
