Jan 17, 2025 | Prophecy Productions

IN THE WOODS… just dropped the video clip ‘A Misrepresentation of I’ as the first single taken from their forthcoming new album “Otra”. The seventh full-length of the Norwegian avant-garde metal band from the city of Kristiansand has been scheduled for release on April 11, 2025.

IN THE WOODS… comment: “Our first single from our upcoming studio album ‘Otra’ takes you on a melodic journey through hard battles with your own self”, guitarist and keyboard player Kåre André Sletteberg explains. “All faith is lost and it is now a game between light and darkness. This is our shot at something musically a bit different than usual, but still attached to what In the Woods… have become and what our future will hold: something melodic, beautiful, and yet still heavy.”

IN THE WOODS… were founded in Kristiansand in 1991. At the time, the band emerged as an offshoot of the original line-up of GREEN CARNATION, which some of the members were also a part of. They quickly gained a strong reputation within the underground as an innovative entity that was pushing the boundaries of their genre. Their 1993 demo “Isle of Men” became widely circulated in the tape trading community. Many of its ideas and riffs flowed into the first full-length “Heart of the Ages” (1995), which made a lasting impact on black metal and is rightfully regarded as one of the genre’s early classics. 

With “Otra”, IN THE WOODS… demonstrate the strength and artistic maturity of the Norwegians’ third incarnation. Enticing and highly pleasurable to listen to, the record is nonetheless crammed with glorious details and surprising twists that reveal themselves only after many spins. “Otra” is the exciting album that the many followers of IN THE WOODS… have been hoping for – and although it very much respects the band’s past, it also breaks new ground.

We’ve pressed this record on CD and LP, which includes black, velvet purple (limited to 300), and Dracual red/black marbled vinyl (limited to 200) for you to purchase. There is also a 36 page hardcover art book variant.
