Norwegian Black/Thrashers Vesen finally return with a new full-length, entitled “Rorschach”, which will be released on December 16th, 2016, via Soulseller Records.
Quite uncommon for the genre, the successor of “This Time It's Personal” (2012) is a concept album and though it may sound progressive, the music is actually more regressive in a sense. But of course Vesen explore new ideas and grounds as well and head onwards in all directions at the same time, creating a unique and matured blend.
A first song, “Final Insult”, is streaming now below.
The band comments: “"Rorschach" is a concept album, certainly lyrically, less so musically. It started out as a concept spanning four albums, but through the process of working with it we found that it fit better on a single album. Overall, it deals with themes quite common in the Vesen universe, which is mental problems. Hence the name of the album, "Rorschach", which is a psychological test used to test a person's potentially underlying thought disorders, used in mental health facilities. So without going into too much detail, "Rorschach" tells the story of a person trying to escape his/her problems, and then it builds from there, and it all ends in this final track "Final Insult"”.
Tracklist:
1. Damnation Path
2. Pray for Fire
3. Target: Horizon
4. Blood, Bones and Pride
5. Screaming Sane
6. Crown of Scars
7. Vulgar, Old and Sick Blasphemy
8. All in Vain
9. Away the Tormentor
10. Final Insult
Line-up:
Dag Olav Husås - Drums
Ronny Østli - Guitars, Vocals
Thomas Ljosåk - Guitars, Vocals
