"The 4th album by Norwegian dark ambient act, Svartsinn, shows a more melodic yet rather obscure side of the artist. 2009 is the 10th year of Svartsinn's existence and it has inspired Pettersen to try a different approach and to experiment with some new ideas. This new musical journey deals with sadness and melancholy, about not knowing one's place in this vast and at times uninviting world, how it can become a daily torment to not be able to find one's reason to exist. And it's also about finding one's personal path, finding ways to endure and hopefully transcend these engulfing life challenges.
The Double CD includes a unique collaboration track with Dahlia's Tear and a 10 years anniversary bonus disc containing exclusive
remixes by Triarii, Kammarheit, Letum, Life Toward Twilight, Gustaf Hildebrand, Tenebrious, New Risen Throne, MGriffin, Visions and Hovmod. All acts giving very interesting perspectives on some of Svartsinn's previously released tracks, making this second disc a very special homage to the singular world of Svartsinn.
Edition of 1000 copies in 8 panel foldout cardboard sleeve." [label info]

"Next project comes from Norway. Behind the Svartsinn-project you find Norwegian sound artist Jan Roger Pettersen who has already released three full-lengths and contributed in a number of interesting audio as well as video compilations. That the artist also has been used as part of horror movie-soundtracks isn't such a big surprise as you listen to this latest Svartsinn-album titled "Elegies for the end". As was the case with Vision's aforementioned album, present album from Svartsinn is sheer darkness and melancholy. Svartsinn combines buzzing drones with orchestral ambience with an impressive and grandiose result. Nicely packaged double-disc album that expressively reminds of early Robert Rich, circa the period of "Trances and drones"." [NM/Vital Weekly]
