Stilius: epinis monumentalus progresyvus viking metalas

Mið means center or middle in Old Norse, and the concept behind this latest longplay by Norwegian vikings explores the origins of humanity, shared cultural memory, and enduring human quest, pursued by different civilizations, to understand structure of the world and discover its symbolic axis - album artwork depicts Bronze Age stone monument, which serves as a symbol of this archetypal search, connecting ancient worldview with contemporary consciousness; musical realization is distinguished by unique synthesis of cultural traditions, never losing firm, uncompromising edge of extreme metal, where aggressive riffs, powerful rhythms, and progressive compositional shifts blend with atmospheric instrumental passages, while combination of harsh and clean vocals, enriched by traditional joik elements, is organically complemented by voices of guest performers, lending compositions a sense of ritualistic drama and distinctive archaic gravitas; limited German gatefold sleeve transparent blue vinyl edition
