More Info:

Reaching the end of a strenuous journey beset by turmoil and loss, Madder Mortem is finally ready with their 8th studio album "Old Eyes, New Heart". Emerging five years after it's predecessor "Marrow", the time in which "Old Eyes, New Heart" was made has been a troubled one for the Madders - and in the winter of 2023, Agnete and BP's dad Jakob passed away. Having always been a huge supporter of the band, Jakob's backing was essential in launching the band's recording career almost 30 years ago. Being an artist himself, Jakob had prepared two paintings especially for the album and with the adaptation and additional design by long-term Madder collaborator Costin Chioreanu, the cover artwork for "Old Eyes, New Heart" was completed. Even though Jakob didn't live to see the finished album, he would have been immensely proud to see his art on the cover, and the album is dedicated to his memory. Lyrically and musically, the album deals with hope, disappointment, and the ambivalence between them. It is music from old hearts and deep roots, with new eyes open to the unlimited possibilities of 12 notes, but always with the desire to write a good, honest song.
