Their latest album since the highly acclaimed previous album “Aphelion” is entitled “Melody of Atonement” and is their most fascinating and shocking album to date! According to frontman Einar Solberg, “The aim of the album was to remove all orchestral elements and focus everything on the actual members.” And Solberg said, “I think it’s one of the most accessible albums we’ve ever made. It’s immediate. For us, this album is by far the most satisfying and best.”

The album was produced by David Castro (OPETH, CATATONIA, SOEN, etc.), mixed by Adam Noble (PLACEBO, BIFFY CLYRO, NOTHING BUT THIEVES, etc.) and mastered by Robin Schmidt (THE 1975, PLACEBO, THE GASLIGHT ANTHEM, etc.)!

The music video for the pre-release single “Atonement” has also been released!
