Arising from :: :: the shadow of mental institutions and personal secret :: :: corners comes the Norwegian Urarv ("Ancient Heritage"), the :: :: new project spearheaded by avant-metal stalwart Bjoern :: :: Aldrahn Dencker of DHG and The Deathtrip and Thorns fame. :: :: "The ideas and visions for Urarv started actually back in :: :: 2003 during a stay that I had at the local mental :: :: institution where I live," comments Aldrahn. "It began :: :: dawning on me one evening as I was locked out on to the :: :: perimeter of the facilities to have a stroll." :: :: :: :: At first, Urarv was going to be a folkish song-oriented :: :: solo-project exclusively, but as time went by, those :: :: thoughts proved themselves to be much too dysfunctional, and :: :: in the end, it would take several years until it all began :: :: taking shape properly. It wasn't until the summer of 2013, :: :: however, when enough material for a full-length album was :: :: ready. From thereon, Aldrahn sought out for fellow musicians :: :: to join his escapade of sonar expedition and relinquishment :: :: of artistic restraints. He was lucky enough to find two :: :: excellent creatures to do the drums and bass. Patricia and :: :: Sturt joined in with great enthusiasm and conviction when :: :: rehearsals began taking place later that year. :: :: :: :: While Urarv recognizes the ancient heritage of Norwegian :: :: black metal, it also tramples across limitations. At the :: :: core of the project lies the idea of experimentation with :: :: various unorthodox tunings and curious sounds. "We want to :: :: tap into uncharted territories to see what lies hidden under :: :: the rocks and dead horses and beneath the cold vastness of :: :: uncertainty," says Aldrahn. "We're traveling to remote :: :: regions of metal music and mental space with this music. :: :: Although our message is one of emotional putrefaction, we :: :: want to help listeners find a way through the black hole. :: :: :: :: . _ _ . :: \: :. \\ ___________ . ___________ // .: :/ __\____ :: ____ ___\ _ / BERC : 2019 \ _ /___ ____ :: ____/__ \\\f3! :: \\\ __ _/_________i_________\ /___/ /// :: cRO/// \ :: :\-\___________\_ ___ / _ _/___________/-/: :: / :: | . . _ _ _/ __/ . \_ _ _ . . | :: : :::::::: | | \\\\\/ _______\____|\ \///// | | :::::::: : :: | | -\-\/____/-------------\____\/-/- | | :: :: | | \ :|: / | | :: : : | . ` ::: ' . | : : . . | : ::: : | . . | :::....:::....::: | : ::::::::::::::::: : . :::''``:::''``::: . : ::: : . ::: . .:. :
