NEWS: Sibiir swim with sharks in placid waters?

Norwegian blackened-hardcore five-piece Sibiir have announced their desire to partake in a European festival run with the first single “Placid Waters” from third album “Undergang“. The culmination of a decade of work the record is adorned by cover artwork from Danny Larsen having been mixed and mastered by Ruben Willem (Gluecifer, Djevel, Nadir). Willem also recorded part of the record at Caliban Studios at Storsjøen, Norway with additional recordings done at FrontRow Studio in Ålesund by Fredrik Ingebrigtsen, and at Brageveien Studio by Øyvind Røsrud Gundersen. If you like what you hear, pre-orders are available over at bandcamp.

The band comment: “It’s a song about how kids are struggling to meet the expectations society place on them, and their attempt to tame their own chaos in search for placid waters. It contains all the classic Sibiir-elements from blast beats to big atmospheric half-time parts, but it also shows a new and fresh side of Sibiir. The melodic sing-along friendly call and response chorus makes me want to drive too fast, or drink too many beers. Perfect for Wacken, really.”
