Thomas Eriksen of Mork on Norway's Black Metal Scene

Thomas Eriksen — the man behind Norway's Mork, one of black metal's most authentic and relentlessly evolving solo projects — pulls into the Krazy Train Eriksen breaks down "Ødelagt" — Norwegian for "broken" — a track inspired by brutalist architecture, vast emptiness, and a life built on a false facade, and previews Monolitt, Mork's eighth studio album dropping June 19th on Peaceville Records — a signing that came with the backing of Darkthrone members and the kind of underground credibility that can't be bought. He walks through Mork's evolution across eight albums, the origin of the name and logo, and what it actually looks like to build a black metal career from Norway to the stages of Psycho Las Vegas, California Death Fest, and Baltimore — funded in part by Norwegian government artist grants that most American musicians don't even know exist.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
