Vulture Industries' sophomore album to be released for the first time in vinyl

It is the 11th anniversary of the album The Malefactor's Bloody Register. To mark that date, Dark Essence Records is making the album available in vinyl.

Originally recorded at the Conclave & Earshot Studios by Bjørnar Erevik Nilsen, and mastered by Brian Gardner (ISIS, NIN, David Bowie), The Malefactor’s Bloody Register includes guest appearances from  Herbrand Larsen (ex-Enslaved/ ex-Audrey Horne) on Hammond organ, Øyvind Rødset (formerly of Ugress) on saxophone, Audun Berg Selfjord (Funin) on cello and Kristin Hunter (ex-Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra) on viola. 

The cover art for The Malefactor’s Bloody Register is designed by Maja Markegård and features Helge Jordal on the cover, making it the second time that the actor appears on a Vulture Industries release.  One of Norway’s most respected character actors, Jordal’s collaboration with Vulture Industries started when he heard “The Dystopia Journals” and agreed to work with the band.  This time he takes on the guise of the Hangman, brandishing a law book and clutching a noose, in an album that takes a satirical look at the theme of crime and punishment from the perspective of both the criminal and the hangman. 






Track listing for The Malefactor’s Bloody Register is as follows:

Side A:
Crooks and sinners
Race for the gallows
The bolted door
Of branded blood
 
Side B:
I hung my heart on Harrow square
This cursed flesh
Hangman's hatch
Crowning the cycle

The Malefactor’s Bloody Register will released on the 5th March 2021 and will be available in red in black coloured vinyl. It can now be pre-ordered from:
