In wenigen Wochen wird mit “Non Debellicata” das neue Album der Black Metal-Band RAGNAROK erscheinen. Es ist das neunte Album der Norweger und folgt dem 2016er-Album “Psychopathology” nach.
Der Albumtitel “Non Debellicata” nimmt dabei Bezug auf eine Phrase, die als Motto für die Heimatstadt der Band, Saropsborg, diente. “It is taken from letter Jarl Alv Erlingsson sent to the Scottish Government in 1286. Aside from being a nobleman and the Jarl (Earl) of Sarpsborg, Alv was also an infamous pirate who was in the habit of robbing Danish and German merchant ships. The Scottish government had confiscated a number of Norwegian ships and Jarl Alv wrote them a letter, in which he said that maybe they were under the impression that Norway was weak after being at war for several years. But assured them that they would learn that the Norwegian people were not weakened by the war and would never be defeated.”
Zur Herangehensweise an das Album meint die Band zudem: “Our new album is the result of an extensive process in which all the members of the band participated creatively, both musically and lyrically. We put a lot of work into this album to make it as extreme and violent as we possibly could, pushing the borders of our musicianship and song writing skills. Originally we started out with 20 songs, out of which we rehearsed 16 and whittled it down to 13 for recording. We eventually chose 10 for inclusion on the album, because we wanted to ensure highest possible quality of every song.”
“Non Debellicata” wurde wie zuletzt von Devo Andersson (MARDUK) im Endarker Studio in Norrköping produziert. Das Cover-Artwork stammt von Nestor Avalos (u.a. für BLOODBATH tätig).
Das neue Album von RAGNAROK wird am 15. November 2019 via Agonia Records erscheinen. Vorab gibt es den Track “The Great Destroyer” zu hören.
