Modder - The Great Liberation Through Hearing - repress on PINK VINYL!
The long sold out sophomore album of Modder is available once again on pink vinyl!
After suffering significant personal losses across the board for two and a half years, Modder, among other sources, looked towards ‘The Bardo Thodol’ (The Tibetan Book of the Dead) for inspiration and as one of the guides to complete the work that has resulted into the record ‘The Great Liberation Through Hearing'.
Repress available on pink vinyl!

Songwriting wise this new record also saw all five members significantly bringing their musical ideas to the table. And in doing so, taking the music of Modder to the so called ‘next level’. Alongside that what Modder already does very well, the band has not feared to implement an even wider variety of styles, ranging from grind- & thrash-metal to elements of psytrance/electronic music.
For the recording of this record, the band joined forces with engineers Jonas Everaert & Jannes Van Rossom (Brussels Philharmonic, STAKE, Brutus & Russian Circles a.o. ) for two recording sessions at Dunk!studios in the Belgian city of Zottegem.
While drums and guitars were (partially) recorded at Dunk!studios, additional recordings and the rest of the instruments were self recorded/produced in the members’ home studios. Modder guitarist Mathlovsky signed up once again as mixing and postproduction engineer at his own House Of Lov studio. And finally, Brad Boatright (Audiosiege mastering studio, Portland, OR) mastered the album. Which evolved in a staggering end result!
The distinguished UK-based graphic artist 'Throne' collaborated closely with the band to deliver the artwork and design for 'The Great Liberation Through Hearing’.
