Norway's leading avant-garde act VULTURE INDUSTRIES return with their brand new album 'Ghosts from the past' which will see the light of day on June 16, 2023 via Dark Essence Record.

The very first offering, which comes in the form of a brand new music video, "New Lords of Light" is now available on the official VULTURE INDUSTRIES YouTube channel HERE and on all other digital platforms HERE. Tune in, zone out and enjoy!

Front man Bjørnar explains: "Starting life with the work title 'For Roky', I felt this one had a haunting feel, reminiscent of Roky Erickson. This was back during the pandemic summer of 2021, and I remember listening to early versions of the track in my car, driving up and down the west coast with my kids in the back. Processing the song in this way probably had a defining influence on the final product, so in the end it turned out upbeat and energetic, yet bound in somber atmosphere that harkens back to the 80s."

Pre-orders are now available HERE

"Ghosts from the past" draws a line from childhood spells of dark mystery and a sympathy for the outcast, to a present where monsters hide under your bed. Waiting, not to prey upon the sleeper, but to hide from the monstrosity of the day. Pulling on a wide range of influences; From dust riddled Spaghetti Westerns accompanied by Ennio Morricone, past the monochrome melancholia of apocalyptic post punk, through deep valleys and steep hills shrouded in progressive darkness and a Nordic noir looking to solve the unexplained murder of the truth. Landing on something once described by a fan as "This is how Nick Cave would sound like if he made metal.", VULTURE INDUSTRIES has long since established itself as something singular, yet once familiar, strangely recognisable.

Written and recorded in a period of big changes both in their personal lives and in the world around us, 'Ghosts from the past' is somehow a mirror of this. It reflects fear of a world spinning out of control, and a sense of powerlessness in the face of a world order falling apart. Crumbling only to be replaced by old ideas fronted by autocratic warlords with no sight in mind but their own power and legacy.

With a writing and production period starting in 2018 and ending in 2022, the process was their longest haul to date, and for a long time they felt lost and struggling to find a sense of direction. Now, having finished the mix and mastering some months ago, it is with great relief having some distance to the process, that VULTURE INDUSTRIES can state "Ghosts from the past" is their strongest album to date and hope you enjoy what is essentially a piece of their soul.
