DROTT announce new album Orcus: News

News of the first full-length album by DROTT

DROTT is comprised of Arve Isdal (Enslaved), Ivar Thormodsæter (Ulver) and Matias Monsen and hails from Bergen in the west coast of Norway. With their varied musical background ranging from metal and jazz to classical music, they create the genre which can only be described as DROTT. Inspired by forces of nature, superstition and spirituality the trio explores light within darkness through their music.   

Their debut album Orcus is set for release on September 24th 2021 via By Norse Music

The group, recently established (2020), released their self-titled EP in March 2021 and received great reviews. It established DROTT’s instrumental Progressive Rock sound as a breath of fresh air in the genre! Their first full-length Orcus album takes DROTT in a new creative and artistic direction. With 10 tracks they dive deeper into sonic, experimental landscapes! 

Have a look at the ever so slightly disturbing video for The Marauders here:

“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.”
