This release promises an emotional exploration; delving deep into the labyrinthine realms of the creative process and the shadows that accompany it. The sonic prowess of Ombra is further elevated through the hands of legendary producer Fredrik Nordström (At The Gates, Soilwork, DimmuBorgir), whose production brings unparalleled depth and richness. At Studio Fredman in Gothenburg, Nordström meticulously mixed and mastered each track, ensuring an auditory experience that resonates with the album’s concept and its raw emotion.
Vocalist Enrico comments: “’The Overlord Disease’ is one of the first songs I wrote for the album, probably one of the fastest, most most epic songs by The Moor. As the first single, I believe it’s perfect to set the tone and to enter the atmosphere of Ombra. This song captures the raw essence of inner turmoil and the struggle against despair, a narrative of resilience in the face of tragedy, and a testament to the enduring strength found in unity, even within the darkest moments.”
Complementing the sonic tapestry is the visionary artwork by Niklas Sundin, an artist renowned for his ability to encapsulate the essence of musical journeys into vivid visuals. For enthusiasts of the progressive and melodic realms, Ombra beckons. Fans of Gojira, Soilwork, Evergrey, Katatonia, DarkTranquillity, and those craving the fusion of intricate melodies and profound narratives, will find solace within the depths of this album. Alongside the album’s announcement, special bundles are available for pre-order exclusively from Inertial Music.
