In The Woods... Reveals Album Details
17 protracted years after previous full-length album "Strange In Stereo," the Norwegian group In The Woods... rises from its own ashes to deliver the "Pure" record.
"Pure" is scheduled for release worldwide on September 16th, 2016 via Debemur Morti Productions on CD / vinyl / digital formats.
"Pure" combines elements that made early In The Woods... such majestic compositions, with a new-found immediacy and energy. Taking inspiration from the legendary metal and rock bands from the 70's to the 90's, the avant garde masters created a collection of 10 huge-sounding, all-enveloping cosmic tales.
The band comments: "This is without a doubt the most accessible release by In The Woods… yet. Lyrically, existential and philosophical themes are at the fore ; Elements of psychedelia, alienation and loss interweave, leaving the listener in no doubt that In The Woods… seek to advance their own understanding of the esoteric and transcendental, if were it not already obvious to the listener through the music."
