After a hibernation of half decade, Norwegian Symphonic Black Metal trio Legacy of Emptiness is just a few days away from releasing their sophomore full length “Over The Past”. Black Lion Records is going to release the album in 6 Panel digipak on June 12, 2017
Quote from the band:
This band was originally started by Eddie and Kjell-Ivar as a tongue in cheek BM-project called Permafrost back in 1995. Both skills and ambitions were very limited at the time. Only a couple of demos for our own amusement were made.
A few years later Øyvind joined on keyboards and we realized that we actually had something to bring to the table. We recorded a couple of demos with this lineup and left the project to bleed out in the early 00’s.
In 2010, we came together and decided that the songs we left years ago were too good to be left behind so we decided to record them properly for,once again,our own amusement. One thing led to another and we found ourselves being more creative than ever before. The result was our self titled debut album containing 5 old tracks and one brand new. All splendidly mixed and mastered by Dan Swanö,one of our biggest inspirations back in the day when we first started out. The album was released in 2011.
“Over the Past”, as the title will hint we are now writing a new chapter. This album as been a journey to hell and back for us all. Accidents,cancer and other illnesses has been thrown our way from the day we started writing and recording this beast. Never have an album title been more fitting. Over the past!
There is no real lyrical concept on this album other than the usual suspects like darkness,hopelessness,void and the odd historical moments.
Musically it’s the opposite of what we did on our debut. This time all songs are brand new except for one that we brought along from the 90’s,heavily reworked.
