Astrophobos - Corpus (White Vinyl Lp)

Facts Limited white colored vinyl LP pressing. 2021 from the Swedish black metal trio. "Corpus" is not just the third full-length album by Swedish black metal band Astrophobos. It's a cross-disciplinary collaboration spanning over several years where sculpture, photography and music intermingles to explore themes of impermanence, death and decay. Teaming up with artists Lisa Wallert and Morgan Norman, the band ventured into these concepts, taking inspiration from their work to write both music and lyrics. The artwork of Wallert and Norman can be found on the cover of the Corpus album and throughout the layout of the gatefold vinyl record. The collaboration culminates in an exhibition/live show taking place in Stockholm on November 13th. Since their formation back in 2009, Astrophobos have been accoladed for their melodic yet brutal offerings. Their previous album "Malice of Antiquity", released in 2019, was widely hailed as the band's most varied and notable output to date. With "Corpus", Astrophobos takes things one step further, adding new and unexpected elements to their songwriting. This also includes the lyrics, that for the first time are entirely in Swedish.
