Nowy TÅRFÖDD końcem miesiąca

 

Today, Purity Through Fire announces March 28th as the international release date for Tårfödd's highly anticipated sixth album, Mörker täcker livets ljus, on CD format.

Since their formation in 2022, Sweden's Tårfödd have become a prolific force in the DSBM scene. With five full-lengths to date as well as nine singles, two EPs, and a couple collaborative records, mainman Simon Lindgren is a man possessed: supreme melancholy, bittersweet majesty, Technicolor textures, and soul-draining emotion have all become his stock in trade. And while it's not often that Purity Through Fire steps into depressive black metal waters, the label made an exception in 2025 for the release of Lidande.

Now, with the band's whole catalog available under the banner of Purity Through Fire, Lindgren returns with Tårfödd's sixth full-length, Mörker täcker livets ljus. It seems only fitting that the equally prolific Revenant (Sarkrista, Order of Nosferat, Siechknecht, Velmorth et. al.) contributes his characteristically tortured vocals to five of the album's nine tracks, sealing that bloodpact with Purity Through Fire perfectly and sending the 62-minute album deeper into sublime misery. Indeed, Lindgren reaches new heights / depths of catharsis here, utilizing his unfailingly deft layering - cold riffing, transcendent leads, heartbroken piano, and almost-effortless shifting of tempo - to penetrate even the blackest of hearts, but always with an acute understanding that this is BLACK METAL first of all. Perhaps the best way to understand Tårfödd is to immerse oneself in the undulating waves of bittersweet bliss that is Mörker täcker livets ljus' title track; time evaporates as you willfully drown in this obsidian-yet-shimmering sorrow, all before the nine-minute song (cathartically) downshifts to a truly beautiful ethereal segment and then brings that bittersweetness home for its conclusion. Ruin your day over and over again!
