The Tjernberg brothers are currently working on and assembling musical ideas. The early spring has proven to be an inspirational and creative period, as reports suggests there already is enough material to fill another full-length Lost Kingdom album, and this only being the tip of the iceberg. In regard to the Lost Kingdom material, “the sound and musical style will be superior to anything we’ve done so far”, says Daniel. One of the first new LK-pieces that has surfaced is a long, epic piece with the working title Flight of the Raven; a demo of which you will hopefully will get to hear in a not too distant future.

The second major project for the time being is the musical sci-fi/space odyssey under the working title of Cosmic Connections. Here you should expect a jazz/fusion oriented approach, but with appreciable elements of progressive rock, folk and ambient. At the time being, there are about a dozen song ideas being worked on. Again, a demo or sample of this material – so you’ll get an idea of the project’s nature and orientation – will hopefully reach you soon.

After a few weeks standstill, the post production for the short film Svartmunkarnas Krönika (The Chronicle of the Black Monks), featuring music by the Tjernberg brothers, is again under way. As posted earlier, this is the very same music that has just now been released under the Waerloga Records label. If you would be intrested in this album, you can order it today from www.waerloga.com.

The latest estimate for when post production of the short film will be finished is spring of 2012. We’ll make sure to pass on more about the project as soon as the details are revealed.

Chain DLK gives the new album the Chronicle of the Black Monks 4,5 of 5 stars!

Daniel & Mikael Tjernberg has outdone themselves really with this fine release from Waerloga Records. It’s the 19th release for the label and this one might not be a bestseller but it’s a rellay good album that deserves some credit.

Chronicle of the Black Monks is a soundtrack for a Swedish historical movie but could be listened to on it’s own for sure. If you follow the link to the artist page above you can here a great medley with the songs of the album.

The sound of this album is great and I am not surprised to learn that the brilliant Simon Kölle (film composer, Za Frumi, Musterion, Abnocto, etc.) has done the master. The album is the best so far from the Tjernberg brothers. You should really check this one out.

A medley of songs from the album “The Chronicle of the Black Monks [Svartmunkarnas Krönika]“.

We are proud to announce that the Chronicle of the Black Monks will be released December 31st, 2011!

Preorder here.

The Tjernberg brothers latest album, The Chronicle of the Black Monks, is right now being mastered by Simon Kölle, the man behind bands such as Za Frûmi and Musterion (and more), and will be released very early 2012!

“Musically this album can be seen as a natural progression from our previous albums”, says Mikael.

The actual release date of the album is yet to be announced.

Scheduled for a release in early 2012, the work with our upcoming album, the original motion picture soundtrack of The Chronicle of the Black Monks, is getting more intense. The album will hold a total of eight, previously unreleased orchestral works, ranging in style from sacral and profane renaissance to musically more developed and modern genres, although with a mutual atmospheric abutment in the era in which the short film takes place.

In the meantime, the post production of the short film itself is in full swing. We will make sure to keep you updated on the progress of this.

A release window has been set for Q4 2011, with a trailer currently being produced and hopefully released in the coming weeks.
