about

"Something needs to die for something else to live".

Inspired by the words of Einar Selvik, we decided to give our own tone to "Voluspa". With respect to Wardruna and the Scandinavian tradition, we approach the words of the Seeress with a heavy/doom style, presenting our own version with our first official video clip.

lyrics

There was no sand, no sea, no cool waves
Earth was nowhere to be found
No grass nor sky
Only chaos and abandon

Sun grows dark, stars vanish
The sea swallows the ground
Smoke and fire
On top of heavens mount

Hearing I ask of every tribe
Every Heimdall's slain child
Hear the stories I know
The legends from long ago

Brother will fight brother and they kill each other
Cousins will break their kinship faith
A grown loud comes from Yggdrasil's roots
Garn now howls and the giants are loose

Hear my wisdom I 've got much, I see further ahead
The war Ragnarok and the Gods painted red
Hearing I ask, hear what I see
The Giants lay dead and the Gods victory

Hearing I ask of every tribe
Every Heimdall's slain child
Hear the stories I know
The legends from long ago

Merci Déhà for the download code. Lots of bands use these ingredients – pretty female vocals over doomy guitars always sounds good, but usually that's where the ideas run out. That isn't the case here. Each song is packed with ideas and evolutions, genres and references it's boring to list but not at all to listen to. A pleasure to have been introduced to this. Luke

Some heavy stoner rock to get your day going. Fat, chunky riffs that you just can’t say, “No,” to. Kirk Gauthier
