New album out now!
Ragnarök Trio - "Prepare to Die"
Ragnarök Trio's "Prepare to Die", released on Fjordgata Records, is a soundtrack for an over-looming apocalypse. The music can be described as raw and sincere and is strongly influenced by punk, rock and various 20th century compositional concepts; serialism, symmetry and free atonality.
The song-titles are all quite figurative, and the compositions commonly portray different “characters” or scenarios that could all exist on a proper doomsday.
The idea was to make it sound as raw and “honest” as possible. The album was recorded in one room and we used as few overdubs as possible. We wanted to make it sound like a live concert and therefore we only did one take of most of the pieces.
All compositions are written by Thorkell Ragnar, except for “Otto Normalverbraucher”, which is written by Jens Meijer.
The album was recorded on December 13th & 14th, 2023 at Epic Rainbow Unicorn Studio in Rotterdam. The recordings and the mixing were done by Simon Akkermans.
The mastering was done by Frederik Dejongh at Jerboa Mastering.
Páll Ivan frá Eiðum made the artwork.
