The last time we heard of Norwegian black metallers Urgehal, it was when the band's vocalist/guitarist Trond "Trondr Nefas" Bråthen passed away in 2012. Now the band has given a new sign of life stating that their final album is being recorded in honour of Trondr Nefas and will be the closing chapter of the band. They will finish what they started with the fallen frontman.

Update from the band: "Trondr Nefas left us all in May 2012. For Urgehal this meant the loss of our great friend and brother in arms. Therefore it is a very special announcement for us remaining members to tell you that the final Urgehal album is now being recorded.

We have decided to finish this last album in honour of our dear friend and to mark the end of Urgehal. Trondr was looking much forward to enter the studio once again and we had already done all demo recordings for the whole album before his death. Nothing else remains to be done but to finish what Trondr and we had already started together. We owe this to him and his memory.

Drums and guitars were recorded earlier this year and in October we entered the studio for the first vocal session of many. The songs will be sung by several close friends of Trondr Nefas and the band. We will reveal those names in due time."
