Penitent – Melancholia Redux – Clear & Black Splatter LP with Printed Inner Sleeve

We are proud to announce ”Melancholia Redux” of the Norwegian Dark/Industrial/Ambient/Experimental pioneers Penitent in various formats.
Karsten Hamre, Penitent”s heart & soul, has followed a peculiar personal path and for more than three decades has remained absolutely consistent, dressing his poetry in black and eerie melodies. Not only did the passing of time not deter him, on the contrary today he is possessed by a freshness that is like doing a complete restart. On the one hand he has re-recorded a large part of the 10 albums he has released to date, while at the same time making his own plans for the future.

Our collaboration with Penitent begins with the re-release of the now legendary debut ”Melancholia”, released by Cold Meat Industry in 1996. Although the term re-release in this particular case is not accurate, as almost everything has been changed. The album was re-recorded, there is new artwork & new mastering.
