Djevelsvart is the name of the forthcoming GLITTERTIND

That entry is for those who missed the infos shared this week in the forum (now closed for maintenance).

This is the artwork for Devil Black album, that is the english translation for "Djevelsvart".

The album will be released this november 22nd of 2013.

"With “Djevelsvart” (Eng. Devil Black), we are inviting you on a journey through the dark sides of life. Part of the inspiration for the lyrical concept of “Djevelsvart” derives from writers who by the end of the 19th century said something about what it means to be a modern human being. The writers had to relate to the fact that religion lost its power of explanation concerning man and the world, the alienation in the factory work, and the growth of the big cities. From being members of communities with close ties, they now found themselves to be aliens among aliens. Gradually, the individual has been left to itself to carry the responsibility of answering the question: Who am I?

Founder of Glittertind, Torbjørn, was confronted with these existential problems in its full force when his girlfriend was diagnosed with a serious cancer disease. During the 4 year long treatment, several traumatic events occurred. These events have heavily influenced the music and lyrics of “Djevelsvart”. The album is also influenced by the Oslo terror on July 22nd 2011. The song “Sprekk for sol” (”Burst by Sun”) is dedicated to a fan of us, Torjus Jakobsen Blattman, who was killed on Utøya. The song is a statement against right-wing extremism and hate-ideologies. With ”Djevelsvart”, the darkest Glittertind album so far, we hope the listener can achieve a sense of connection with humanity through our common fate of suffering."
