Consisting of four black metal veterans, Doedsvangr return after seven years of silence to give birth to their second album Serpents Ov Old. Guitarist BST handled the recording of guitars and bass as well as mixing and mastering in his studio in France. Additionally, drums and vocal recordings took place in Velvet Recording in Norway. Serpents Ov Old will be released on CD, vinyl, and digitally on October 29th, 2021. Pre-orders will start on September 6th. "As The Rivers Bleed Their Blessings" track serves as the first taste of what to come.




Guitarist BST comments on the creation of Serpents Ov Old: "The way this entire album is built can be seen as rather unconventional. The drums were recorded first with absolutely no other music written, meaning the skeleton of the track was conceived on drums only. These drum parts had a special groove to them, which left some room for atmosphere, and from there on, the song writing was very spontaneous and instinctive. I was simply following the inspiration these drum patterns were giving, without thinking too much about it. In general, I do not want to intellectualize the writing process too much. It needs to be visceral. Another peculiar thing about the way this album was built is that it was all made remotely. The pandemic was at its peak, so we did not meet, rehearse together, or even really talk too much about how things were supposed to sound. I wrote the music for "As The Rivers Bleed Their Blessings" isolated, within my own studio, which actually was both comfortable and inspiring to me."
