BEYOND THE MORNINGLIGHT: LIBERATION When the gloomy art is expressed

Runar Funeralheart and Andy Amin, two old friends that together shared a vision, that vision was Beyond the Morninglight and now it’s a passion, a strong bond between two friends united by rock and roll. Beyond the Morninglight aren´t the usual rock band, they spread the dark sound of Norway influenced by its depressive atmosphere that creates the perfect environment for the gloomy/doom and melancholic music. Despite this feeling of sadness and loneliness getting hold of us, the welcoming, warm and beautiful melodies make you reach emotions that sometimes are sleeping inside of you.

“Liberation” is the name of BTM new album and since their last work they really have matured and their creativity has taken a new step towards their growth. This release is about the cycle of life, the life of a man in all its glory that loses control and enters in a sea of solitude till the end of his time and the fading of the light.

Runar Funeralheart singer and lyrical poet leave us caught up in his story, the way he can express his feelings and emotions and his deep, calm but sordid voice elevate the music to a higher level, full of energy. Is quite evident that the environment of his dark home (Norway) influence his whole being, with its vast landscapes and winter sky and all the energy that surrounds the silent and vast nature.

Daniel Vrangsinn (Carpathian Forest, Vrangsinn, Misantrof) was the producer, mixer and engineer of BTM “Liberation” and his touch contributed for the best expansion of the work and emphasized all the emotions in this story creating a journey you must experience.

MISANTROF ANTIRecords releases sophomore ALBUM of BEYOND THE MORNINGLIGHT

From Norway, some warmer sound, yet colder and darker than ever.

Their new album titled "LIBERATION" is a milestone. An artistic milestone. The band's creativity really blossomed, crafting this superb concept album, based upon the downfall of a young man in his prime, all through his decadence, until his end, and the dyed black day of his funeral.

The story is told as seen from the eyes of Runar Funeralheart, singer and lyricist of the band, who really feels all the life, all the air, all landscapes and all the death surrounding him, and can transform all those sensations into little creatures he likes to take care of, like children to feed, watch over and grow up into massive songs, so full of energy, soul and deepest emotions.

Extremely influenced by those grey winter skies of Norway, with those silent vast lands inspiring loneliness and melancholy, Runar and Andy of Beyond The Morninglight simply reach a deeper, also higher, level of introspectiveness. Their creativity is Norwegian air breathed in and released back out in form of gloomy melodies, endless mellotron driven sensations, dark atmospheres, and such a shrouding feeling never felt before.

The final twist, came from the contorted visions of Daniel Vrangsinn (Carpathian Forest, Vrangsinn), who managed to inject some further cold blood inside the veins of this doomy opus, bringing the sounds to its best level, offering you a deeper journey into the process of releasing the pain, the end of suffering, the final Liberation.

Runar, states, talking about this last effort: “The lyrics is what really takes the toll on me... I have to write and rewrite for weeks in solitude to get in whatever state to bring the shit. But people seem to enjoy them, they seem to connect somehow”.

Recorded in the obscurity of Misantrof Studios during 2011/2012. Produced, Mixed and Engineered by Daniel Vrangsinn and Beyond The Morninglight. Cover artwork by Daniel Vrangsinn. Band Photos by Eyla Evertsen Da Gama.
