Serbian industrial project MRT releases 11th album ‘Kerrang’ – Out now
Serbian industrial project MRT releases 11th album 'Kerrang'
MRT is an experimental endeavor by miKKa (founder of dreDDup), and began in 2007, focusing on dreams, noises, and otherworldly themes. The project is known for its atmospheric, wild, and experimental soundscapes, having produced 10 albums and 3 extended play albums. MRT also composes music for films and theater.
The prolific Serbian industrial project has just released its eleventh album, titled “Kerrang”. The album, which began production during the 2020 pandemic, showcases 13 new tracks. Part of the album’s composition was specifically created for the documentary “Novi Sad Remembrance”, directed by Aleksandar Reljić, which focuses on the historical raid on Novi Sad.
The Novi Sad Raid was a horrific event that took place during World War II in January 1942. Hungarian forces, who were occupying parts of Yugoslavia at the time, conducted a systematic massacre in the city of Novi Sad. Over the course of several days, thousands of civilians, primarily Serbs, Jews, and Romani people, were rounded up and executed along the Danube River.
The rest of the album continue the sonic themes MRT explored in their previous album, “Urwell”. Recorded entirely at DURU studio in Novi Sad, the band plans to promote the album soon, including a cassette release. MRT has had limited live performances this year but is gearing up to promote “Kerrang” with live shows.
You can listen to and purchase the album through the MRT Bandcamp page.
