SVARTSINN - 'Elegies For The End' 2 x CD (Cyclic Law)
The 4th album by Norwegian dark ambient act Svartsinn shows a more melodic yet rather obscure side of the artist. This new musical journey from Pettersen deals with sadness and melancholy, about not knowing one's place in this vast and at times uninviting world, how it can become a daily torment to not be able to find one's reason to exist. And it's also about finding one's personal path, finding ways to endure and hopefully transcend these engulfing life challenges. The double CD includes a unique collaboration track with Dahlia's Tear and a 10 Year Anniversary bonus disc containing exclusive remixes by: Triarii, Kammarheit, Letum, Life Toward Twilight, Gustaf Hildebrand, Tenebrious, New Risen Throne, MGriffin, Visions and Hovmod. All acts giving very interesting perspectives on some of Svartsinn's previously released tracks, making this second disc a very special homage to the singular world of Svartsinn. Ltd x 1000 copies in an 8 panel outsize sleeve. Highly recommended!
