Magmakammer - Before I Burn (Vinyl/Record)

Magmakammer:  Psychedelic Garage Doom from Oslo, Norway.

Before I Burn tells stories of egoism, greed, and the evil it promotes within people's minds.

When it feels like the whole world is burning, do you punch out, or do you stay and burn?

The album will sound familiar to long-time fans. Although this time around the band has doubled down on the melodies and hooks. If you like Black Sabbath and Uncle Acid and Deadbeats, you will love the sound of Magmakammer.

Musically, Before I Burn was inspired by a wide variety of bands and sounds, everything from Tears for Fears to Darkthrone. The title track, for instance, was heavily inspired by the ballad-y tunes of Neil Young, as well as eighties power rock legends RATT. The album's lyrics are the band's most sinister to date.

Drums, bass, and guitars were tracked in the basement of an old building in downtown Oslo. Overdubs for guitar, as well as vocals and keys were tracked in different locations in and around Oslo. Like in the past, the band was in charge of the entire process from songwriting and artwork, to recording and mixing. However, mastering was done by Tony Reed (Mos Generator).
