Since first emerging as part of the early '90s wave of Norwegian black metal, Kristoffer Rygg and his band have worked across a startling range of sounds, including (but not limited to) trip-hop, psychedelic rock and drone. Recent years have seen this persistent shapeshifting solidify into a sophisticated version of synth-pop, closer in feel to Tears For Fears than to anything onetime contemporaries Emperor or Darkthrone have ever created. 'Liminal Animals' is permeated by the smell of disaster and documents, with deep concern, a dark and troubled place in a dark and troubled time. The cover art features 'The Senseless Seven,' a 1911 drawing by Austin Osman Spare. Design by grand magus wolframgrafik Paschalis Zervas.
