NORWEGIAN TITAN MORK RETURNS WITH NEW ALBUM MONOLITT

NORWEGIAN TITAN MORK RETURNS WITH NEW ALBUM MONOLITT

SET FOR RELEASE ON PEACEVILLE ON JUNE 19TH / FIRST SINGLE ‘ØDELAGT’ OUT TODAY

Norwegian titan, Mork, was created by Thomas Eriksen in 2004, with the debut album ‘Isebakke’ eventually surfacing in 2013. Since then, Mork has been ceaselessly rising through the echelons of Black Metal, and on the heels of 2024’s intense and groundbreaking ‘Syv’ opus – which has resulted in the band branching out with tours in the Far East & Australia – Eriksen continues on this evolutionary path with the new album, and what is undoubtedly set to be a new benchmark, MONOLITT, set for release on Peaceville on 19^th June. Today, Mork has shared the first single from the album, titled “ØDELAGT”.

STREAM/DOWNLOAD THE NEW SINGLE ‘ØDELAGT’

Dark, droning and suffocatingly heavy, “ØDELAGT” moves like a slow collapse. Built upon stern riffs, oppressive atmosphere and a relentless sense of weight, the track channels a bleak introspection where defeat, disillusionment and self-destruction take centre stage. The music carries a brutal gravity, cold, punishing and hypnotic, while still maintaining the unmistakable spirit of Norwegian black metal.

Lyrically, “ØDELAGT” explores the downfall of the self. It tells of a hollow existence built upon illusion; a throne constructed from falsehood and self-deception. As the echoes of nothingness ring out, the mask finally falls, revealing a life consumed by its own emptiness. What once appeared as purpose dissolves into resignation, where the final truth becomes unavoidable: everything was in vain.

With its unrelenting intensity and crushing weight, “ØDELAGT” stands as a stark and uncompromising introduction to the world of MONOLITT.

“A stark monument to the unrelenting brutality of reality, the monolith looms above us, immovable, indifferent, eternal. Its crushing presence bears down on the spirit, suffocating hope and testing the limits of endurance. It is an experience carved in stone, unyielding”. – Thomas Eriksen

‘Monolitt’ was recorded and performed primarily by Thomas Eriksen, with Asgeir Mickelson supplying drums, plus additional vocals coming from fellow Mork member Øyvind Kaslegard. The album was mixed at Toproom Studio by Børge Finstad (Mayhem), before being mastered by Jack Control at Enormous Door (Darkthrone), and at Appelbaum Mastering by Maor Appelbaum (Sepultura). The bold and striking cover image was created by Norwegian artist Kjell Åge Melland.

Mork will be embarking on an extensive touring schedule in support of ‘Monolitt’ –
