Susanna & The Brotherhood of Our Lady deliver brooding new track "Ecstasy X"
Norway's Susanna has revealed "Ecstasy X", the eerie second single from her collaborative album with The Brotherhood of Our Lady.
Produced by Deathprod and Susanna, "Ecstasy X" takes on a more dystopian tone, integrating church bells recorded on a cassette, ghostly crackles and distorted vocals, further enhancing Susanna's inspiration from Hieronymus Bosch’s art.
"Ecstasy X" follows on from first single "City of Hope" that landed in November 2018.
Garden of Earthly Delights is Susanna's 13th album, following Susanna's Go Dig My Grave record that landed back in February 2018.
Expanding on her inspiration from Dutch painter Hieronymus Bosch, Susanna explains, "While this is not a soundtrack to his paintings, I feel a resemblance between the absurdity in his pictures and today’s existence. Humanity has never been more enlightened and competent to make sustainable solutions for everyone, but we still close our eyes to poverty, environmental issues and lack of equality."
