{"product_id":"world-serpent","title":"World Serpent { vinyl }","description":"\u003cp\u003eFORTI� release the \"World Serpent\"! With this dark and deadly duology, mastermind Einar Eldur Thorberg delivers an album of two parts: The first five tracks were recorded with the former Norwegian line-up. The other songs are a creation of the multi-instrumentalist after changing his residence back to Iceland and enlisting the support of drummer Kristj�n Einar Gu�mundsson (KONTINUUM) with whom he had previously collaborated in the native cult act POTENTIAM. \"World Serpent\" is loosely based on a unifying apocalyptic theme, but also a beast of two faces. The first half witnesses FORTI� subtly experimenting with influences of Bay Area Thrash, while the second half returns to a more black metal approach with screams and clean vocals. Although both parts have diverging musical visions and even different line-ups, they complement each other rather than constitute two separate entities. Despite some subtle experimentation and drastic line-up changes, FORTI� are still following the course that Einar Eldur set on the \"V�lusp�\"-trilogy of albums from 2003 to 2010 as well as the acclaimed \"Pagan Prophecies\" (2012) and \"9\" (2015) full-lengths: harsh black and death metal riffing with a penchant for epic melodies combined with versatile vocals and a dose of \"Icelandic sound\". With \"World Serpent\", FORTI� have unleashed a dark and deadly creature onto the pagan metal world! \"World Serpent\" is available as Digipak CD and on Gatefold 2LP vinyl (black, ltd. Transparent Curacao blue).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fortid","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53862888112465,"sku":"884388731318.0","price":4.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0967\/6721\/3905\/files\/3866566-2611561.jpg?v=1779779627","url":"https:\/\/vinylgroove.shop\/products\/world-serpent","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
