Saint Karloff Finish Recording New Album
There are two horn-throwing emojis below as Norwegian three-piece Saint Karloff confirm a completed recording process for their third, yet-untitled full-length, and though I usually remove such things as a part of my general no-fun-all-misery policy, I’m leaving them in, because the sentiment feels well earned on their part.
This will be the first Saint Karloff studio LP since the passing of bassist Ole Sletner last year, and as they look to follow-up 2020’s massive Interstellar Voodoo (review here), expectations and anticipation are likewise high to find out what exactly they’ve come up with this time around. Certainly given the tragic loss of Sletner, two years between albums is still a fast turnaround, but as you can see below, some of this material has been in the works since even before the second record arrived.
And if you don’t know Iver Sandøy in Bergen, he’s come to prominence the last few years as drummer/sometimes-singer for Enslaved, but is an engineer whose pedigree includes Orkan, Audrey Horne, Enslaved (duh), Sahg, Wardruna and a few dozen others. One more reason to look forward to this one whenever it might arrive through Majestic Mountain Records, presumably sometime on the earlier end of next year.
Commented the label: “The long wait has come to an end with news of Saint Karloff having completed production of album three… To say that MMR is psyched to bring you this amazing news and get this into your ears is an understatement, stay tuned for more.”
So yeah, I guess I’ll be doing that.
From socials, whichever one you want to cite. They’ll all owned by the same four white male billionaire pieces of shit anyway.
Album three, done (#129304#)
After being more or less in hibernation-mode the last two years, we decided to finish the songwriting for our third album which started back in 2019 with Ole onboard.
This time we traveled over and beyond the Mountains of Loudness to record in Duper Studio A/S / Solslottet Studio in Bergen with the help from sound wizard Iver Sandøy. And it sounds killer! Can’t wait to share it with you all (#129304#)
