While the global waves made by their critically acclaimed album Who Do You Love in last year still crash ashore, Norwegian noise / avantgarde rock act ?rabrot are now expanding their sonic realm as ?rabrot Speciale: Die Nibelungen is a soundtrack to Fritz Lang's legendary silent movie, performed and recorded live at the Tromso international film fest in 2016: a truly different and special project, which further showcases the artistic diversity of this groundbreaking band. ?rabrot has done live scores to old silent movies before, including Das Kabinet des Dr. Caligari, and it was obvious that Kjetil Nernes was capable to give Die Nibelungen a sound element that the movie deserves. ?rabrot's Die Nibelungen piece has quiet, melodic and atmospheric parts, as well as loud, heavy, repetitive parts. The concert was luckily recorded and Andrew Liles has produced and edited the excerpts that make up this special album. This vinyl release includes the complete album as bonus CD!
