Liljegrotten is the sophomore album release by Kim Richard Adler Mejdahl, made out of sound recordings created by nearly thousand anonymous people visting Mejdahl's solo exhibition Liljegrotten (Lilith Grotto) at Overgaden, Copenhagen (2020-2021). At the show visitors were invited to interact with three instrument pieces that now constitute the album: Psalm Machine (strings), Orallyn (vocals), and Doomsdaydrummer (beats).

With a turn toward the collective effort, Mejdahl explores our changing relationship to nature in the face of climate changes and ask if humans are in fact starting to understand nature as a monster instead of a material resource. Liljegrotten is a spiritual trip through a cave where human turns to animal. Heavy metal psalms -- a church concert performed by witches. This is is the sound of the old world clashing with the new world.
