silentgods Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 THIS IS WHY YOU HAVE TO CHECK THEIR SITE TWICE ADAY Last year sunn 0))) was invivted to perform at a ancient cathedral in Bergen Norway . The performance was captured via 24 track mobile recording and the resuluts were pressed onto double 180 gram vinyl. This recording will be available exclusively on vinyl only. There will not be a digital release (cd or downloads). Pure analog! The 0))) lineup for this performance includes Attila Csihar (Mayhem) on vocals, Steve Moore (Earth, Ascend) on the churchs' legendary pipe organ and Norwegian native Lasse Marhaug on electronics. The packaging for "Dømkirke" was designed with the utmost attention to detail and quality that perfectly compliments the audio content. Each 180 gram vinyl comes in a heavy stock, full color inner sleeve that features stunning photographs from the performance. The cover of the gatefold jackets feature exclusive art by Tanya Stene (Burzum, Ulver, Darkthrone). The jackets themselves are ultra-durable extra thick cardboard stock with thick, luxurious lamination. These were modeled after the Impulse! labels' LP jackets from the ‘60s. This package is durable, built to last and serves as the perfect shelter for this archival release. Behold the glory! Nicholas Mollerhaug, the festival curator, wrote these liner notes for the album: "Our idea behind this concert was to commission a piece of music from Sunn O))) referring to the gothic gregorian hymns of the Late Middle Ages. Hymns that flourished Bergen Cathedral in its earliest years: The age of the Great Famine and The Black Plague. The gregorian hymns of this time reflected the despair, the terrors and darkness of the world. Musically the hymns consisted of long slow lines of unison melodies. The unisonity, the dark mood and the slow melodic development are all elements that also can be traced back to Sunn O)))'s musical universe. These parallells between Sunn O))) and the medieval times gave birth to this commission - premiered at the grand final of Borealis Festival 2007. The Bergen Domkirke is dedicated to the Norwegian king and patron saint Olav (995-1030). The church was built around 1150. In the 1240s it was given to Fransiscan beggar munks. After fires in 1248 and 1270 the building was extended. With the financial help of king Magnus Lagabøte (1263-1280) the church got its present form and was finished in 1301. The very same king is buried in the chansel of the church. After the reformation the church became the cathedral of Bergen. It was then again struck by fire in 1463 and 1702. A cannon ball in the the church tower is a reminisence of the Battle of Bergen Bay in 1665. This record documents what happens when aesthetic openness and lack of prejudice rules in a medieval cathedral. Without these values inhabited in the legendary kantor of Bergen Cathedral- Magnar Mangersnes - this concert would never have been possible. - Nicholas Mollerhaug" SUNN O))) "Dømkirke" Live in Bergen Cathedral 031807 1) Why dost thou hide thyself in clouds?

silentgods Posted September 30, 2008 Author Share Posted September 30, 2008 Due to circumstances beyond our control we regret to inform you that the previously proposed GRAY MARBLE color edition of: sunn 0))) - Dømkirke has been changed to a slight variation of the original proposed color. Our manufacturer has informed us that they have had severe problems with the quality control of 180 gram "marble" color vinyl. They said that when attempting to press this particular color of vinyl the end product had excessive surface noise. This is what our manufacturer had to say: "Due to the combination of the cut of the record, and white vinyl which is extremely stiff material which is needed to mix with black to make gray, the flow of the material does not fill the grooves properly" We will be changing the exclusive mail-order color to: clear w/ black streaks/swirls This is still the rarest pressing of this album and is not available anywhere other than here (via mailorder). Orders for the Gray Marble will be switched to this color and this color will have the 18"x24" Dømkirke poster as advertised + The Grimm Robes Shoshin tour poster. The pressing details for sunn 0))) - Dømkirke are as follows: (5000 )180 gram black vinyl (1000 )180 gram blue (transparent) vinyl (900) 180 gram clear w/ black streaks/swirls (transparent) vinyl Finally our proposed dates of shipping these out (Sep. 29th and Sep30) needs to be moved to Oct. 2nd-Oct. 3rd. (this is when orders will BEGIN shipping, we ask that you please allow up to 4 weeks for delivery of your order) We're very sorry for any inconvenience and we hope that once you get these in your hands you will be stoked with the release! If you would like to cancel your order for a FULL refund please click here. ***Please note that we can NOT accommadate switching the color to black vinyl. Only click the link to cancel your order for a full refund. This also means any other items you ordered will be refunded and not sent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
