Thomas Eriksen, the mastermind behind Norwegian black metal titans Mork, returns today with new music from his other band Udåd.
Formed in late 2022 as an outlet for his darker, more primitive songwriting instincts, Eriksen’s Udåd channels pure nihilism, steeped in the raw, unrelenting fury of traditional black metal. In this vein, the new single from Udåd titled ‘Positive Tanker’ is a descent into existential suffering –
“This is my tribute to an extremely disturbed mind. ADHD, depression, regrets, obsession, pain, self-hate frustration, overwhelming amounts of obstacles and too many thoughts at once ending up in a distorted static chaos which I ironically called ‘Positive Thoughts’,” said Erikson, before asking: “Can you make it all the way through?”

The B-side of the new single features ‘Bakenfor Urskogens Utkant’, arom Udåd’s self-titled debut album, released in 2024.
