THE BAND AND THE NEW ALBUM:
Swedish Symphonic Extreme Metallers Zornheym have returned, 4
years after the release of the brilliant debut album "Where Hatred
Dwells... and Darkness Reigns", the wait sure was more than worthy, as
the band has surely outdone themselves and brought forth their new
conceptual album and horror story to be told over the "The Zornheim Sleep
Experiment". This is an absolute magnum opus of its kind, an authentic
maelstrom of terror combined with the most creative and grandiose symphonic
extreme metal experience you might have heard, ever! I dare to say that
"The Zornheim Sleep Experiment" is the best and most ambitious album of
its kind I've ever heard; I know it's a bold statement but this horror
meets symphonic extreme metal grandiose conceptual and theatrical masterpiece deserves all
the credit and recognition. Why? Because it is That Good and Unique!
Zornheym is Stockholm (Sweden) based symphonic extreme metal band that
has been founded and led by the multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Zorn
who is known for his previous work with bands such as Devian, Dark
Funeral (live), etc. after parting ways with the last one, he decided to
revolutionize the traditional "Metal-meets-Symphony"
standards and take them to the next level, an ambitious idea that grown into
an outstanding and dramatic musical experience to its listeners, combining both musical and
visual creations in an absolute new level with their cinematic music videos
and terrorizing comic books which enhance the whole narrative driven concept
of horror over this wicked asylum called Zornheim and its sick and
twisted inmates, doctors, experiments... and beyond! Four years passed since the gates of this mental institution and it's
prisoners where imagined until the first album "Where Hatred Dwells and
Darkness Reigns" [2017] was released via Non Serviam Records. The
gates of Zornheim have been opened and the horrors revealed, a terrifying
experience exploring the most horrendous characters who are incarcerated
within this institution for the clinically insane!Ever since, the
band been developing this cinematic and strong horrific identity which has
reach its peak (so far) over the new conceptual and terrorizing experience
"The Zornheim Sleep Experiment" which occurs at the depths of this
asylum. Imagine an adrenaline increasing gas inducted sleep deprivation
experiment with 9 guinea-pigs... ehrm mean Zornheim patients, which shall
need to endure 30 days without sleeping. Some of these inmates have a range
of aggressive personalities and violent history others a control group of
calmer patients, all incarcerated in a high-security hermetic sealed chamber
with only one observatory and intercom allowing this experience to be
observed by the wicked asylum doctors! Expect no other than true mayhem,
carnage
and chaos... but will not spoil the fun with too much details by now!
THE BAND SOUND:
Zornheym have once again overcome any expectations and present a very
own strong sound wall using a real choir and string quartet which creates
the essential atmosphere to bring this horror story to life in the most
vivid way! Symphonic extreme metal can't simply sound better than this
majestic creation where black and death metal elements combine in perfection
with the traditional heavy metal vocals and melodies, the omnipresent
symphonic elements are beyond amazing and take you deep into the action of
this horrid scenario. A delicacy to one's senses which elevates this piece of
art to an absolute new level of symphonic and extreme metal. "The Zornheim Sleep Experiment" is without a doubt proof of the
musician's top-quality skills and inborn talent. The symphonic monumental
elements combined with exquisite ear sticking melodies and extravagant
guitar solos performed by Zorn and Scucca are virtuous
expressions of grandiose proportions, in the same way impressive is the
whole vocal performance by Bendler (ex-Scar Symmetry, ex-Facebreaker,
etc.), putting him in the pantheon of metal singers, from clean vocals
to vicious growls and vociferations, this singer can do about everything in
the most perfected way. Long since I follow his work and here, I can only
say he sure outdone himself. A big hail to Zorn (Tomas
Nilsson) who is the founder and mastermind of this whole band for
materializing his long-time master plan. No words can
describe this creation well enough; you need to listen to the music while
reading the horror story attached to witness the true power of this colossal
and theatrical symphonic extreme metal creation!
Once again, the band used the Wing Studios and the extreme metal guru
producer Sverker Widgren (Diabolical, October Tide, Demonical,
etc.) for the new album recordings and production, I can only say that this
hard task of recording and combining all the endless channels of music
couldn't be handled by a better and more experienced producer than
Sverker, he also has outdone himself on this grandiose epic music creation!
THE STORY TO BE TOLD:
Zornheym
bring
forth an absolute new theatrical horror meets metal experience! Their debut album "Where Hatred
Dwells... and Darkness Reigns" presented and introduced the
listeners to the tale of some of Zornheim asylum inmates who were incarcerated on this dark sinister
place. Now the new album pretty much starts where the previous one ended and
the connecting link of both is Angelika Engel, the patient that was
visited by demonic figures on her dreams ("Whom the night brings"
- song from the debut album). She claimed that while dreaming
these demons were slowly possessing her and making her leave her humanity
behind, succumbing in this way to our prime evil essence! Curious about this
and in search for the fundament of "why we humans needs to sleep?" and also
why we lose a third of our lives sleeping, the wicked Dr. Bettelheim
and Dr. Gutzmann decided to conduct the infamous "Zornheim
Sleep Experiment". This 30 days sleep deprivation experiment (so it was planned)
pretty much consisted in incarcerating nine patients, some with known
aggressive behaviour and a control group of calmer individuals all locked in
a hermetically sealed "Chamber" in Zornheim basement, this
hermetically sealed room only had
one round observatory and an inner intercom allowing the subjects to be monitored by the doctors while applying increasing doses of an adrenaline
raising gas called Adrenochrome, which reduced the patients need to
sleep. The first days where quite calm. Patients where using writing material,
reading books and talking to each other's, this seemed to keep everybody busy
at the time, but as the first sleepless days where passing things got
silent, too silent... but when the inner demons of the experiment subjects
(Z-SES) finally caught control, all hell broke loose in a bloody gore
spectacle caused by the increasing gas addiction and sleep deprivation
effects, reminding us all that our primal hidden instincts can be exposed
once we are tested to the limits and deprived of our most natural needs!
The essence of this whole frightening scenario was remarkably recreated over
the album cover art done by the Portuguese raising art genius Pedro Sena
"Lordigan".
But well... since I don't want to spoil you fun, you must buy and listen
to the whole album and read the comic book/horror tale to experience this
most addicting piece of art in all its splendour and most monumental form!
DEEPER INTO THE ALBUM:
"The Zornheim Sleep Experiment"
is one of those extraordinary albums where I can't find one lesser good
track, the whole compositions for the main songs, intros and outro fit on
each other in such an astonishing way that you can't stop listening this
cohesive symphonic extreme metal masterpiece on repeat as I did once I first got the
chance to witness the full brilliance of the new Zornheym opus! Jaw dropping
tracks one after the other with a very strong connection bonding them all,
with this, the band creates an increasing tension and an easy-to-follow
narrative that shall give you Goosebumps just by listening to it.
Each new listening shall get you more and more addicted and take you deeper
into the outstanding details of this whole horrid scenario!
"Corpus Vile" song introduces us to the new tale to be told,
unveiling the details of this mischievous experiment, an outstanding
symphonic piece of art, combining in perfection the extreme metal aggression
with the traditional heavy metal melody and outstanding clean vocals, all
without losing any heaviness to the whole sound and majesty of the symphonic
elements. The choruses, guitar leads and solos are about brilliant...
love the Latin sung ending chorus together with the whole melodic essence of
this song, so powerful and absolutely jaw dropping!
"An Evil Within" introduces one of the best and most compelling songs
of this masterpiece, "Dead Silence" is one of those tracks that shall
hook you since the very first listening, fast and vicious this song is
absolutely amazing. The chorus shall be haunting your brain and force you to
listen to this delicacy on repeat! The main solo is a true mind-blowing
delight to the tortured ears, what elegance in a neo-classical inspired
piece. The combination of fast and absolutely demented moments on this song
express this album dynamics at best...
While silence reigns in "the chamber" of horrors to come, something wicked
grows inside of our subjects minds, fear rises as the demons inside are
yearning to be unchained!
The first reactions to sleepless nights and anxiety are being revealed as
the patients are trying to "Keep the Devil Away", gathering in a
circle and grabbing the gas masks in a sort of revering, seems the gas is
taking over their minds! "Keep the Devil Away" is in my opinion one of the best
tracks ever created by the band. Hard to categorize such brilliance and
amazing combination of melody and deranged vocalizations. The classic
music driven guitar solos are proof of the virtuous talent of both guitarists,
love at first listening, I say! This stunning musical blend should be
driving you insane already by now... no wonder you might be caught singing
along with main chorus in the most addictive way... this album is simply
mind-blowing! No words can describe the feeling!
The ritual worship of the gas... masks continues over "Slumber comes in
Time", Z-SES tormenting whispers are confusing the impatient doctors,
should it be an emerging plot or pure paranoid behaviour? This is yet
another outstanding epic track with highly addictive choruses (some sung in
Swedish) and orchestrations, this time with the aid of some folk elements.
This is without a doubt another of my personal favourite songs of this whole
piece, a sing along majestic and melodious piece of art!
"The Black Nine" was the infamous name to honour the ninth
disastrous day of the experiment. Lunacy rises, screams invade the chamber
and all hell is
breaking loose in this blackest day where "The observatory" was all covered up in
the most disgusting way! An eerie chorus haunts this whole song and gives
you shivers just by listening, a frightening powerful track of epic
proportions that takes you deeper into the horrors of this cinematic
masterpiece! Sinister, bleak and disturbing... this is one of the darkest
tracks of this album combining symphonic black and death metal elements in
the ghostliest way!
The
"The Veiling Of Bettelheims Eye" (observatory) introduces one of the heaviest
Zornheym tracks entitled "The Revelation". Deep and
obscure, it's the perfect track to unveil the macabre spectacle that was
found by the asylum guards and doctors once they entered the "the
chamber". The food was untouched by the patients but yet they fed
(wonder of what?), a spectacle of gore not for the faint-hearted. "Stay
away, don't want to be Free" was the chant repeated by the patients that
shall torment you just by listening to it! These deprived and addicted
assailants have requested that the gas was turned back on, meanwhile they
were attacking violently the guards.
This is undoubtedly an amazing and mesmerizing theme of horror of the most
epic proportions that shall drag you deeper into this chamber of horrors.
"Keep Cutting" is another frenetic masterpiece of pure dementia, a
mirror to the chaos that is reigning over the whole Zornheim Sleep
Experiment. The doctors are trying to save the mutilated patients at all
costs as they're slowly losing conscience and dying instantly, those who
remain conscient begged to remain awake by any means necessary, so...
"keep cutting" some said with a psychotic smile on their lips!
Absolutely amazing how the band combines such aggressive and fast sound with
the most melodious elements like the marvellous solo and the psychotic
driven insane vocals by Bendler, who undoubtedly gives his best vocal
performance ever on this album, particularly on this track!
"The Madness That Lurks Within" is the epilogue for such imaginative
conceptual piece of art, another smashing symphonic instrumental song that
ends this masterpiece and terminates "The Zornheim Sleep Experiment"
and the horrors that it has been revealed! At the end of this monumental
carnage, we understand what we may yet become under sleep deprivation. We
should fear the awaking of our deepest animal instincts and in this way
becoming the frightening beast we so often fear at night. This was the
conclusion the Zornheim doctors might have reached after shutting
down this chamber where the savage and primal instincts of man have been
revealed in such a horrid experiment!
THE CONCLUSION:
Zornheym
"The Zornheim Sleep Experiment"
is without a doubt one of the best and
most addicting albums of 2021! In my opinion it's one of the best symphonic extreme metal
creations ever done! "The Zornheim Sleep Experiment" is an ambitious work of excellence that goes beyond the realms
of music, this disturbing conceptual masterpiece of theatrical art takes you deep into
Zornheim
asylum horrific sleep deprivation experience conducted by its mischievous
doctors. This is a perfect marriage of symphonic extreme metal and terror/horror
tales. This is a whole new elaborate experience born from the genius minds of its
creators! Zorn long-time master-plan has reached epic proportions with
this new Magnum Opus. This is one of those theatrical/cinematic conceptual
works that takes the bands creations to a new level in a class of its own!
From time to time an extraordinary piece of art is created, so unique
that becomes impossible to qualify in a regular basis, "The Zornheim Sleep Experiment"
is one of those creations that shall leave no one indifferent. That is
why I given the rate of 10+1/10, simply an album better than anything I
heard in a long, long time. A grandiose and extraordinary piece of art in
all aspects!
Embrace the realms of human madness inducted by sleep deprivation,
discover the most primal beast locked within us all, awaken from slumber
from our mind's deepest abyss!

ZORNHEYM BIOGRAPHY
Symphonic Extreme Metal band based in Stockholm - founded and led by
multi-instrumental mastermind and songwriter Zorn.
After parting ways with his former band, he was determined to shake up the
traditional Metal meets Symphony approach with his new band Zornheym. Zornheym quickly grew from an ambitious idea into a dramatic musical and
cinematic narrative revolving around the horrors of a mental institution and its
prisoners.
Inspiration drawn from icons such as Dissection, Dimmu Borgir and King
Diamond is paired with real string orchestration and a powerful full choir.
Every song on the debut album will have a visual accompaniment in the form of
short graphic stories with further exploration of the themes as short films in
place of the standard approach to music videos.
The line-up is completed by Facebreaker's Bendler on vocals, guitarist
and musical arranger Scucca, and Diabolical drummer Angst.
The debut album has been recorded at Wing Studios by Sverker Widgren,
renowned veteran of sound engineering on the Scandinavian extreme metal scene
(October Tide, Demonical, IXXI, Diabolical)
