After a long and arduous journey filled with turmoil and loss, Madder Mortem has finally released their 8th studio album, 'Old Eyes, New Heart'. Five years have passed since their previous album, 'Marrow'. The period during which 'Old Eyes, New Heart' was created was a difficult time for the band. In the winter of 2023, Agnete and BP's father, Jakob, passed away. Jakob was a great supporter of the band and played a crucial role in launching their recording career almost 30 years ago. As an artist himself, Jakob prepared two paintings specifically for this album. With the adaptation and additional design by Costin Chioreanu, a long - term collaborator of Madder Mortem, the cover artwork for 'Old Eyes, New Heart' was completed. Although Jakob didn't live to see the finished album, he would have been extremely proud to see his art on the cover, and the album is dedicated to his memory. Lyrically and musically, this album explores hope, disappointment, and the ambiguity between them. It's music that comes from old hearts and deep roots, with new perspectives on the endless possibilities of 12 notes, all while aiming to create a good, sincere song. This is a Madder Mortem 'Old Eyes, New Heart' vinyl. It's officially licensed Madder Mortem merchandise. It's a limited - edition LP on transparent blue vinyl, accompanied by a lyrics insert and a poly - lined inner sleeve. Only 250 copies are available.

Using this Madder Mortem vinyl is easy. Just place it on a record player, carefully drop the needle on the vinyl, and enjoy the music. When handling the vinyl, make sure your hands are clean to avoid getting dirt or oils on the record, which could affect the sound quality. Store the vinyl in a cool, dry place, and keep it upright to prevent warping. Don't stack heavy objects on top of it. When not in use, put it back in its poly - lined inner sleeve to protect it from scratches. Also, be gentle when taking out and putting in the lyrics insert to avoid tearing it.
