Orkan Reveals New Album "Livlaus"

With a release date set for the 11th of September, Dark Essence Records has now revealed details for the upcoming sophomore full-length album from Norwegian black metal band Orkan.

Titled “Livlaus,” the seven-track album was recorded live in the studio, with no editing of the basic tracks, whilst vocals and effects were added later. Hoest (Taake) and V’gandr (Helheim) perform guest vocals on two of the tracks.

With Norwegian lyrics, the whole album is loosely based on the concept of a lost soul trying to find peace in the kingdom of the dead, and was inspired by the forests and old sulphur mines in the area around drummer Rune Nesse’s hometown of Stord, on the west coast of Norway.

Artwork for the album was crafted by Tom Korsvold and the track listing on “Livlaus” goes as follows:

1. Fanden På Veggen
2. Brende Bruer, Svart Metall
3. Livlaus del 1: Evig
4. Livlaus del 2: Dødens Dal
5. Livlaus del 3: Tusen Sjeler
6. Uforgjengeleg
7. Skodde
