After the Roadrunner death metal purge in the mid ’90s, Sorrow called it quits. “Between 1987-1993, I played guitar in the death metal band Sorrow – formerly Apparition – that released two records on Roadrunner. “I have been involved with the death and black metal scene since its inception,” says Clarin. Focused intently upon creating unity between elements, Clarin’s style remains orchestral and defined by grand melodic statement, but here we witness greater resolve in new shades of doom and dissonance. The mind, the body, and sanity erode in the splendour of nothingness. Journey Into Darkness‘ third full-length, Infinite Universe Infinite Death, offers more than the previous album’s contemplation of the vast void of space via breathtaking symphonic black metal aplomb but also emphasizes the weight of existential dread conveyed within via an emphasis on doomed and distraught atmospheric death-turns. Sinister, oppressive, and otherworldly melodies are the focus whilst maintaining a class ear for heaviness and intensity. His music manifests as a unique brand of symphonic black/death metal with dark-yet-expansive orchestral layers. Journey Into Darkness is the solo project of Brett Clarin, ex-guitarist for classic death metal band Sorrow (Roadrunner, 1991-1993). He has also studied composition and improvisation.įacebook Photo Album from the recording sessions.Spirit Coffin Publishing announces September 10th as the international release date for Journey Into Darkness‘ highly anticipated third album, Infinite Universe Infinite Death, on CD, vinyl LP, and cassette tape formats.

She was Director of Music at Nidaros Cathedral 2002-2012.

In 2010 the choir released their album NIDAROS which included samples from these works. In the course of Vivianne Sydnes's ten years as artistic director, the choir has commissioned and performed a number of works by both young and established composers, among them Ståle Kleiberg, Henning Sommerro, Torbjørn Dyrud and Wolfgang Plagge. The choir regularly contributes to church services at Nidaros Cathedral and has established itself as a major player in the musical life of the city of Trondheim. Nidaros Cathedral Choir was started in 1946 and consists today of about 40 singers. Life is the light of mankind, and we can rise out of the darkness. Out of Darkness continues through the kingdom of death and out of the grave, leaving us with the gospel of love that overcomes and endures everything, a gospel of grace and forgiveness. The work is not a passion in the traditional sense, since it does not end with Christ's death. Allow yourself to be moved by Nidaros Cathedral Choir, Sarah Head and the musicians in their presentation of Dyrud's dramatic music.
Torbjørn Dyrud's work OUT OF DARKNESS presents you with the most famous story of Christian culture - Christ's passion, death and resurrection - in a form you have never heard before.
