All faith and hope is gone and the character is starting to lose his mind. Is he alone? Is there someone else present? Or is it just his mind playing games? The video was directed by AVKRVST and co-directed, shot and edited by Simen Skari.  The cover artwork for ‘The Approbation’ was created by Berlin-based artist and illustrator Eliran Kantor, who is well-known for his intriguing cover creations for metal bands.Tracklisting: 1.Østerdalen 0:26 2.The Pale Moon 6:15 3.Isolation 5:41 4.The Great White River 6:30 5.Arcane Clouds 6:05 6.Anodyne 10:15 7.The Approbation 13:37Earlier this year the band shared a teaser video of them working in the studio which you can see here: https://youtu.be/8XtqA1aOqE8 At the young age of 7 years old, Martin Utby and Simon Bergseth made a pact that they would form a band when they got older. Now, 22 years later they’ve done just that. An album is ready – 55 minutes of music inspired by everything they grew up listening to – everything from Mew, Anekdoten and Porcupine Tree to Opeth, Neal Morse and King Crimson. All the music has been written at a small cabin, deep into the Norwegian forests (Alvdal, Nor- way). Simon (composer, guitars, bass and vocals) and Martin (composer, drummer and synths) have later been joined by Øystein Aadland on bass/keys, Edvard Seim on guitars and Auver Gaaren on keys. More to come.AVKRVST Online: WEBSITE • INSTAGRAMINSIDEOUT MUSIC online: WEBSITE • FACEBOOK • TWITTER • INSTAGRAM YOUTUBE • SPOTIFY • US SHOP |
