Maxi single “Death of a King”, out now!

The single holds two pieces of Western art music penned by the Swedish brothers, intimately rendered by renowned string ensemble Malva Quartet [Malvakvartetten]. The title track, bearing clear marks of Romanticism and the likes of past masters such as Mussorgsky and Elgar, has the bow-strokes cry out in matters of loss and mourning, albeit with an insinuation of acceptance and gratitude. The accompanying track, Ad Interim, is a traditionally composed minuet, offering a calm backdrop for reflections while concurrently acting as appropriate aftermath for the drama of the title track.

— Following the release of their compilation album Selected Early Works (Blue Spiral Records, 2019), this January will see the release of a limited edition maxi-single. Highlighting their unmistakable musical tone-language, the single will hold two pieces of Western art music penned by the Swedish brothers, intimately rendered by renowned string ensemble Malva Quartet [Malvakvartetten]. The title track, bearing clear marks of Romanticism and the likes of past masters such as Mussorgsky and Elgar, has the bow-strokes cry out in matters of loss and mourning, albeit with an insinuation of acceptance and gratitude. The accompanying track, Ad Interim, is a traditionally composed minuet, offering a calm backdrop for reflections while concurrently acting as appropriate aftermath for the drama of the title track.

The physical single will be made available to order exclusively from DMT Bandcamp, although a simultaneous digital release will transpire through iTunes and Spotify. Death of a King will be released on January 31st, 2020.

Pre-orders can be made one week before the release date, from January 24th.

2019 Round-up

Another year has passed! When looking back, we are delighted to have released the album “Selected Early Works” plus the remastered version of “Anton”.

Next up for the coming year is a maxi-single containing two songs performed by the Swedish string quartet Malva Quartet. Upcoming album “Atlantis” has been delayed for quite some time now, but we can garantee that it will be released in 2020 as CD and Digital formats on Blue Spiral Records. And the second part of the Norse inspired EPs on the Venus Aeon label, entitled “Valhalla Awaits”, is also still in production. To mention some of what lies ahead.

A big THANK YOU to everyone who listened and purchased our music. Your support means a lot! 2020 will be even better!
