We are happy to announce that Skald D. and Alsvartr will enter Klangschmiede Studio E in May to record a new full-time-album in cooperation with our dear friend Markus Stock as producer. The title will be "Niederkunfft" and the release is sheduled for October or November 2014.
Regarding it musically, "Niederkunfft" will clearly follow the direction we foreshadowed on our song "Wein für Polyphem" that was released on our Split with Árstíðir lífsins last summer (see below).
Lyrically, we shall this time dive deep into the images of fear and terror that affected Europe in early modern times (1349-1654): The triumph of death, the thirty-years-war, pestilence, witches, daemons... all in all, the fear of the end of the world. The lyrics will, for the most part, be presented in old german language.
Mors certa, hora incerta.
Thank you very much for your attention, more information will be announced soon.
With kind regards,
Skald D. / Helrunar
