Norway’s Susanna has announced the release of her forthcoming album Garden of Earthly Delights. With the LP slated to drop February 22nd, Susanna has also recorded with her new band The Brotherhood of Our Lady. Drawing inspiration from the Dutch painter Hieronymus Bosch, the new work treads the lines of the yin and yang of life.

Susanna and The Brotherhood of Our Lady have also shared the lead single titled ‘City of Hope’. A testament to the glory of life in all its beauty and wonder, the group have released a stream of the tune.

Touching on Garden of Earthly Delights and its inspiration, Susanna mentioned:

“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.”
