Drott announce debut album ‘Orcus’
DROTT have announced their debut album!
Titled Orcus, the upcoming album from the band (comprised of Arve Isdal of ENSLAVED, Ivar Thormodsæter of ULVER and Matias Monsen) is their debut full-length record and is scheduled to be released in September this year, via By Norse Music.
With their varied musical background ranging from metal and jazz to classical music, and inspired by forces of nature, superstition and spirituality the trio intend to explore the light within darkness through their music.
Alongside the announcement of the debut album, the band have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; The Marauders. The track’s accompanying music video was filmed by Arve Isdal and Cathrine Wespestad and directed by Isdal.
Speaking about the new song, the band says, “The Marauders are not visible through the layers of mist. You can hear them hanging in ropes and sharpening their tools of mischief before their dire intentions are manifested through slow, dark riffs and slaughtering, heavy beats. They are lost souls roaming the Underworld, vicious murderers and thieves constantly searching for prey.”
