Hot News: Lethe signs with Debemur Morti Productions

The exploration of transcendental Art continues with the signing of the Swiss-Norwegian duo LETHE.

Formed in 2012 by Tor-Helge Skei (MANES) and Anna Murphy (ELUVEITIE), LETHE could be described as a Metal / Trip-Hop / Electronic / Pop / Experimental project.

Tor-Helge and Anna comment : “We are proud of becoming part of the Debemur Morti family.. a label that have all the qualities we need to be able to have a nice cooperation, and shares many of the same ideologies and opinions as us: open-minded, forward-thinking, not afraid of being different or stand out from the crowd, a strong focus on aesthetics, attention to details, and astonishingly supportive.. what more could we ask for? we don’t think we could find a better place to be!”

Extremely ambitious, LETHE is unique, personal and quite different.

Their debut album, “When Dreams Become Nightmares”, is near completion and will be released in the coming months through Debemur Morti Productions.

“.. the shades of the dead were required to drink the waters of the Lethe in order to forget their earthly life .. it is only when the dead have had their memories erased by the Lethe that they may be reincarnated ..”

LETHE
(Swiss-Norwegian)

LETHE is a Metal/Trip-Hop/Electronic/Pop/Experimental (?) project featuring Tor-Helge Skei and Anna Murphy, plus close collaborator Eivind Fjøseide, as well as a long list of external contributors.. The band was started in the end of 2012, as a ‘home’ for Anna and Tor-Helge’s musical and artistic experiments, and right from the beginning, the main rule has been that there are no rules, no expectations, no compromises.. The band has been categorized as a lot of things, genre-bending, style-bastardization, ecclectic, and even just weird, but even if experimentalism and fuck-all-rules is an important factor, the band is not afraid to incorporate melody and catchiness into the music. Lethe is something unique, something personal and quite ‘different’… Lyrically and conceptually, Lethe is like a journey through the ‘back alleys of the human mind/psyche’, through dreams and nightmares, paranoia, mental breakdown, inner darkness.. No religion, fantasy, or pretend play.. Real life, real experiences, real horror..
