Norwegian premier experimentalists Dødheimsgard is streaming their fifth album A Umbra Omega, out March 17, 2015 via Peaceville Records, here.

A Umbra Omega is DHG’s first album since 2007’s Supervillain Outcast opus, and undoubtedly marks the band’s most challenging work to date; twisted, technical, sprawling epics and an inverted outlook on existence from the depths of band mastermind/writer/producer, Vicotnik, with similarities drawn to previous classic DHG works such as 666 International and Satanic Art. A raw and organic production permeates the album courtesy of Vicotnik himself, with the album mastered at Strype Audio in Oslo by Tom Kvålsvoll.

Dødheimsgard was formed in 1994 by Vicotnik and Aldrahn. The early incarnation was that of a raw and melodic black metal band, with its debut album also featuring Fenriz of Darkthrone on bass, before the poisons of a more avant-garde and schizophrenic concoction started to take hold.
