In The Woods… have released the lyric video clip “The Crimson Crown” as the final advance single taken from their forthcoming new album Otra. The seventh full-length of the Norwegian avant-garde metal band has been set up to be unleashed upon the world on April 11, 2025.
“It’s time to face the music,” guitarist and keyboard player Kåre André Sletteberg quotes from the song’s lyrics. “It’s time to wear the crown. It’s time to face the justice. It’s time to take me down. The swords are pointed at me. The gloves are on the ground. The shackles binds and bites just like the crimson crown.”
With their seventh studio album Otra, In The Woods… might surprise their listeners – and particularly those, who have not followed the remarkable evolution that the band from the southern Norwegian city of Kristiansand has undergone since the early nineties.
The tracks of Otra are surprisingly captivating with melodic tunes dominating the present sound of In The Woods… – although progressive elements and the occasional rough reminder of the Norwegians’ harsh past are also regularly shimmering through the fabric of these songs. What sets Otra apart from the average heavy work of music is the excellence of composition that shows expert level experience and comes with a seeming ease that makes the achievement even greater.
Lyrically, Otra revolves around stories connected to the eponymous river that winds for 245 kilometres through the South of Norway and spills into the Skagerrak, the strait that separates the country from Denmark and Sweden, at the band’s home in Kristiansand.
