Performed by Christer Andresen (vocals, guitars, bass) and Kjell Vidar Merkesdal (drums, keyboards, synthesizers), Liberate Ignis picks up the legacy of Madam Curie more than 25 years after the band split up. Some of the music on the album is reworked from unreleased 1990s Curie songs, while most of the tracks are brand new.

A unifying theme for the album’s nine songs is to speak up, be authentic, and steer by the passion that inspires you, through the good days and the bad days. “Liberate ignis” is a Latin phrase that translates to English as “set the fire free” or “turn the fire loose”.

Liberate Ignis was composed, produced and recorded by Andresen and Merkesdal. The album was mixed by Arild Aardalen and mastered by Barry Gardner at Safe&Sound in London. Lyrics and artworks for the songs are available here.
