Whilst originally formed as a solo project by Hugin, it is unrealistic to actually pinpoint the exact date that BLODARV came into being.  1999 may be the date when the very first demo, “Murder in the Name of Satan”, appeared, but it would be more accurate to say that this was the culmination of a period of musical development that Hugin underwent whilst playing in bands such as SKJOLD, ARANTRUTH and ESSOUPI.   
With the release of “Murder in the Name of Satan” the foundations of BLODARV were firmly laid down in terms of sound and concept.  Unafraid to mix classical, industrial and ambient elements into the essentially Black Metal music of BLODARV, Hugin demonstrated that he was prepared to use sometimes surprising features in order to create the sound that he wanted for the band, a sound that would be evocative of the visions that are given a voice through his poetic and lyrical creations.  
The year 2000 saw the release of BLODARV’s “Mysteriis”, a work that took 1,700 hours over a period of eleven months of sacrifice, blood, sweat and tears to produce, and for the first time Hugin produced lyrics in English, as well as his native Danish.  Following on from “Mysteriis”, between 2000 and 2009 several BLODARV releases hit the streets, including 7” and LP formats and the multimedia “Linaria Amlech” 
It was during this period, 2002 to be precise, that Hugin took his one-man project and started to turn it into a fully fledged band. With Hugin on vocals and the addition of Huul (ex TAAGEFOLKET) on bass and Isaz (FEIKN, DENIAL OF GOD) on female vocals, and with a session guitarist and drummer, BLODARV became a live band.  The session musicians were eventually replaced by permanent members Pest (ex EXCIDIUM & DARK INTENSIONS) on guitars and session member Ynleborgaz (ANGANTYR,VARDLOKKUR) on drums, and Satinae Ma was brought in to replace the departing Isaz, and the solid BLODARV live and studio line up of today was completed. A split release is anticipated for late 2010, and Hugin is currently working on new material for BLODARV’s next full-length release.
But facts alone can’t possibly describe what BLODARV is all about.  BLODARV is the link between the known and the unknown.  It is the physical incarnation of Hugin’s imagination. It is his deepest thoughts and emotions brought to life through his music, and through the poetry that becomes the band’s lyrics.  Like the storytellers of old he leads the listener through a dark, evil, demonic world, peopled by lost souls, witches and demons.  It is a journey that disturbs, and at the same time enriches, those who embark on it.

Lyrics:

Chorus:
You, you want what I can't give cause I'm not built that way
And You, you're the same, you've just been taught to live a different way

What's this emotional connection, I'm trying to understand the feel
But your indirect rejection I can't even take
I can't even take

Chorus

I am no console, Nicole
I have no console, Nicole

Chorus

I am no console, Nicole
I have no console, Nicole

Interpretation

Emotional Connection

Frozen to death

BLODARV "Beyond Life" From the EP of the same title

So skinny thin and white
She sits in the corner every night
She's cold, She's pale, She's full of hate
She looks at me with flaming eyes

Coming to me again, and again
Its strange how she seems to be more than a friend
strange how it seems to like my soul
So cold , so dark, so rotten and old..

As I watch it breethe as it comes to my bed
It's strange how she seems to be allready dead
touching her hands so boney and cold
leaves my mind woth stories untold

Then suddenly from the dream I awoke
Pale.. full of hate and cold
I awoke in the corner allready dead..

Was it me, was it that, could it be what I saw?
Am I living, was I dead, I need to know more!

And then It revealed It's face again
By her very precense, she captures the air
with the moonlit waves of her beautyful hair..

Her eyes revelaed the longhidden demon

"Oceans I've crossed by the sound of thy call
followed the voice within
Blessed by fire, blessed by death
Blessed by all thats born in sin

Take me down to the fields of stones
created million years ago
fulfill the pact we started my love
then you'll see, then you'll know!"

I opened my eyes and welcomed her in
Blessed by fire, born in sin
Blessed by demons that never was born
Blessed by the dead, blessed by the horned
Blessed by all that was soon to come
I realized what had to be done!

And for thousand years and more to come
Life was repeating itself on earth
Oceans rocks and stars above
Life, birth, death dirt
All was just an illusion here!
For all to wonder, for all to fear!!

no-one saw as we disapeared.
 
As we enter the gates of loneliness
We throw away the key

Beyond Life

"Daemonstormens tid" is from BLODARVs 2nd selffinansed demo entitled "Mysteriis" released in the year of2000 

BLODARV Daemonstormens Tid

Composed in 1999 for the "Mysteriis" Demo(2000)
Later released on various split-releases and finally released on vinyl on the "Soulcollector t.t.y.t 12" LP. LYRICS:

I boelgers maegtige brusen
I vindens lokkende susen
Blandt kolde klipper og vaade sten
Med forslaaet krop, arme og ben

Ligger han hvileloest vugger i havet
tilhører vandet der nu har ham taget
Han ville eje den sten der paa klippen laa
Han strakte sin arm for stenen at naa!
Den sten han saa, saa smuk og roed
Blev den sten der lokkede ham i hans doed

Nu hviler hans krop i bølgernes brusen
Hans klagende skrig fylder vindens suser
Og paa bunden af havet ligger stenen rød
Hans krop den er kold nu
Hans krop den er doed..

”I vandet, i vandet kom spring  ned i dybet
Stroemmen den traekker saa haardt i dit ben
I vandet, I vandet følg blot strømmen
Kom nu herned til din roede sten!”

Havet rejser sig grusomt og haevnfuldt
slynger sin vrede mod Oens bred
Skummet sproejter, boelgerne larmer
Den lille dreng ham tager de med

I bølgers maegtige brusen
I vindens lokkende susen
Blandt kolde klipper og vaade sten
Strømmen traekker i drengens ben..

Ohh, lille moder
Dit barn har du mistet til soeens vand
Fader din soen er borte forevig
Drænet for livet, drevet fra land

Nu flyder hans legeme oven paa vandet
Snart gaar det ned til havets bund
Hvor taenker moder sit barn er henne
Hvad taenker fader i denne stund?

Hvor livets lys er borte forevig
Hvor taarer loeber fra konens kind
Hvor haabloese tanker –kolde og sorte
Fylder hans sorgfulde bristede sind

Havet tog hans barn til fange
Rev i soennens arme og ben
Nu bliver naetterne kolde og lange
Noget for noget et liv for en sten!!

Natten gaar mod morgen
Og imens moderen sorgfuldt vandrer i skoven
Finder fader sin skarpeste kniv
gaar ned til havet og ta’r sit liv

Blodet drypper, danner ringe i vandet
Endnu et liv har havet taget!
Endnu en krop skal flyde i havet
I nat havets maegtige boelger ta’r
Soen og datter, moder og fader
Det iskolde hav er sultent i nat!!

Og i boelgers maegtige brusen
Hoeres klageskrig fra folk og fae
Ingen kan gemme sig indendørs
Ingen steder at søge læ!

Havet har rejst sig grusomt og hævnfuldt
Kastet sin vrede mod Oeens bred
Fammillier splittes, mange er doede
naar havet til sidst igen aander fred!! 



BLODARV druknedoeden(Den roede sten)

Det var koldt den morgen
Solen den var knap staaet op
Man fandt kun én dreng
Med frosne aarer og blaagul krop

Taarerne floed overalt
Folk fra byen graed
Mennesker ledte forgaeves naer soeen
Kristne sjaele i kirkerne bad

Intet hjalp..
Tre var forsvundet
Efter naesten et Aar
Var de end ikke fundet

Men uden for byen
Naer skoven jeg ved
Lever en sjael
Der vidste besked

Mod denne kraft bønner gør ingen gavn
Nitiria Amlech er hendes navn
Og i byen hende de nu kender
Blodig paa arme,ben og haender

De synger i huse ved morgentide
Om smaa boerns skaebner
Og hvad de maa lide

”Vid nu boern hvad som lever i skoven
Naer raadne traer med ravne foroven
Blodig paa hænder og arme og ben
Forvandler det skønne i skoven til sten!

Heksen Amlech bliver hun kaldt
Mange hundrede boern har hun kvalt
Elsker og kysser den hornedes bag
Tilbeder fanden fra nat bli’r til dag!

Saa vid nu boern naar i vandrer i skoven
Naer raadne traer med ravne foroven
Blodig paa hænder arme og ben
Amlech forvandler jer alle til sten!

Amlech ofrer ved midnatstide
Blod og fedt fra boern kan hun lide
Med knoglede fingre og krogede taer
Plukker  sin viden i fuldmaanens skaer”

”Hoer nu boern i der gaar i min skov
Har i spurgt moder og fader om lov
Moerket har lagt sig og skoven bliver saer
Ved jeres elskede nu hvor i er?”

”Nej gamle kone ved du hvor vi er
Og hvorfor si’r du at skoven bli’r saer?
Jeg fryser, er sulten og jeg har traette ben
Hvorfor staar her saa mange sten?”

Heksen Amlech er hendes navn
Bønner og trusler goer ingen gavn
Blodig paa haender, arme og ben
Ofrer i natten goer boern til sten

Heksen Amlech er hendes navn
Boern i skoven hun ta’r i sin favn
Snart vil forsvinde al latter og larm
Snart har hun dræbt dit eneste barn!

”I Blaek Og Blod” 
(from upcoming album ”Gâst” 2012)

Der er en kold taage over fjeldet i nat
Imens skyerne sageligt danser forbi
der er en kold taage over fjeldet i nat
Og lugten fra et glemt og nu forsvundet lig

Der havde kraften hvilende saa tungt i sit hjerte
Som en tung sten af sorg og svig og smerte
Men ingen taler den doede mands kvaler
saa her henaandes hans liv i blaek og blod..

Der var ingen der lyttede
Ingen der saa..
Der var ganske faa
Der proeved at forstaa
Men der var tomt og oede
For aandelig foede
Og alt der driver benene frem..

Livet er langt naar vejen foerer hjem!

Hjem til kraft og hoeje sale
Hjem til stjernehuse svale
Han droemte sig vaek
Da han lagde sig ned
I et krater skabt af skovens fred

Taarerne han fik
I ugerne der gik
Gjorde det hul til en soe
Og snart kom vinteren og froes den til is
Og han vidste saa smaat at snart sku´han doe!

4Og han laa og saa paa de visnede dale
Vaeltede taarne og knuste sale
Imens al den tid der passerede forbi
Draenede ham og hans energi!

Han saa paa soeen og de omkransende traeer
Og taenkte..  saa ender mine dage her..
Nu vidste han at nu sku´han doe
..Mon de finder mig her naar det begynder at toe?

Ja, han sidste tanker var
..Mon nogen en dag finder mig her..
Naer min salte soe..blandt skovens traeer
Med mos og bark ved blottet rod…
Og tegner min sjael i blaek og blod!?

BLODARV I blaek og blod

“SURROUNDED BY DUST”
I’ve seen the change of times
The end of an era on earth
I’ve seen the planets passing by
The prologue of a new world’s birth

I’ve seen death in water, and life in dirt
A red shining bright horizon, with black rivers below
Re-shaped valleys, new formed mountains
I’ve seen the desserts get filled with snow

I’ve seen the change of times
For you and me and the humankind
I’ve seen souls with tears in their eyes say goodbye
When the red star explodes and changes the night
When Orion’s shoulder is no more
And all there is left is a shining core
Surrounded by dust from a star

Fire to air, air to fire
The constant flow of energies ends
It changes all for wise and fools
Enemies, soul-mates, lovers, friends
 
There’ll be death in water, and life in dirt
A red shining bright horizon
With black rivers below
Re-shaped valleys, new formed mountains
And the desserts gets filled with snow

New powers evolves
And devourers two of the closest we know
More intense than anything
Is the dark red burning king

And should I trust the visions inside my head
He then turns white, then cold and dead
As we fade into the Nebula
Around the core of the Orion star



BLODARV Surrounded by dust

BLODARV “INDELUKKET”
From BLODARVs 2012 album "Gâst"

"Gâst" Album/CD or Download : www.blodarvshop.bigcartel.com 

Lyric:

Der er moerke og kaos
Og doeden der jager os
Naar vi gaar paa livets yderste kant

Naar vi er alene i moerket
Og sidder og taenker
Og proever at straekke livets laenker

Men jeg proever at finde
Den fornoedne balance
Til endnu en gang
At gi tiden en chance
Til at skrive historier i blod og blaek
Foer de sidste krafter forsvinder vaek

Det kan ikke holdes tilbage
Det har fulgt mig i alle dage
Saa besaettende staerk og grum
Og smertefuld som livets saar
Besaettende staerk og grum
Men givende som tusind aar

En moerk og snoerklet kraft
Der aldrig tager af sted
En usammenlignelig pagt
Der aldrig gir mig fred

I over og under borg
Hviler fortids sjaelesorg
Vaek fra liv og aandedrag
Hjem til doed og gammel arv

Hvor jeg er taet paa nattens stjerner
Og kan tage kraften ind
Og svaeve bort i vinden
Der stormer i mit sind
Gaa i Orions sale
Og kraeve maanen ind..
..Liv forsvind!!

Frys mig dette sekund
Smid det ind bag laas og slaa
Lad tid forsvinde for alle vinde
Lad jord og liv og doed forgaa

Lad mig dvaele her bag doerene
Der aabner portene til mit sind
Hvor jeg hviler oejne og oerer
For doede sjaele i knogler og skind
Og nedfaelder vers igen og igen
I det moerke og kaos
Hvor doeden den jager os

Lyric: 

Korsfyldte spir eller kupler som tage
Her tager vi jeres gud af dage
Her hyldes indsigt og energi
Og kraefterne som det saetter fri
Vi aabnede de doere i lukkede i
Da vi aabnede sindet for satan

For vejen gaar gennem lukkede doere
Vi lyttede da i havde doeve oerer
Vi slukkede lyset i jesus oejne
Smed kortset paa baalet
Og alle dets loegne

Gik ud under maanen
Og dansede noegne
I djaevelsk synd og stjerneskaer
I blod, flammer og vildt begaer

Vi foelger lyden af daemonernes sange
Gennem oplyste stier og moerke gange
Til floder af visdom og religioners doed
Om det farver jorden under os roed
Traekker vi spor fra Nord til Syd

Afbrudt af rolige naetter
Med stjernelys, baal og haetter
Med røg der langsomt stiger op
Mod maanelys og traeers top

Hvor vi hviler fra had og smerter
I vores forbandede bankende hjerter
Til vi sliber staalet igen
For at dykke dyb i den stormende vind
Der synger daemonernes sange


BLODARV -Korset Paa Baalet!-

”Sealed in black with silver stars
Spine covered in the blood of ours
It has no beginning it has no end
It’s without doubt my most beautiful friend

Some of the pages are very old
Filled with the first wisdom I wrote
Some of the pages still are white
Ready for thoughts on lonely nights..

It’s located behind invisible walls
Every night and day it calls
I would like to go to see it again
My strange and powerful mystical friend
But I know as soon as I enter this place
That I’ll have to be there for several days..

..There will never be peace in my head
Not in life, neither in death.. “

Langt vaek fra livet

Blodarv Biography:

In 1994 whilst playing in MISANTHROPIA Hugin wrote the first lyrics and riffs for what was to become the one-man Black Metal band BLODARV. The writing and composing for BLODARV continued side running with Hugin playing in Black Metal bands such as MISANTHROPIA, ARANRUTH and SANSÂGER ( 1994-1998), and in 1999 the first BLODARV demo, “Murder in the Name of Satan”, was released upon mankind.

The year 2000 saw the release of BLODARV’s “Mysteriis” demo, a work that took 1,700 hours over a period of eleven months of sacrifice, blood, sweat and tears to produce, and with “Mysteriis” the foundations of BLODARV were firmly laid down. Hugin demonstrated that he was prepared to use sometimes surprising features in order to create the sound that he wanted for the band, a sound that would be evocative of the visions that are given a voice through his lyrical creations.

In 2002 Hugin took his one-man project and started to turn it into a fully fledged band. With Hugin on vocals and the addition of Huul (TAAGEFOLKET, D.O.G) on bass and Isaz (FEIKN, DENIAL OF GOD) on female vocals, and with a session guitarist and session drummer joining in 2003 BLODARV had a full line up. 

The session musicians were eventually kicked out a year later and replaced in 2006 by permanent members Pest (SEPULCHRAL CRIES) on guitar and session member Ynleborgaz (ANGANTYR,MAKE A CHANGE..) on drums. The same year Satinae Ma was also brought in to replace the departing Isaz, and a solid BLODARV live and studio line up was completed. 

Later on, in 2012 Fjorgynn (FJORSVARTNIR) joined the band on drums, but was replaced by drummer Galheim (DENIAL OF GOD, AD NOCTUM, EXMORTEM, LIVJATAN) In march 2018

Following on from the “Mysteriis” demo, between 2000 and up till today, several BLODARV releases has haunted the scene, including CDs, 7”Ep’s and LP formats, such as “Soulcollector” “Linaria Amlech” “Civitas Diaboli” “Gâst” “Flamekeeper” & more, and today BLODARV is concidered one of the leading acts in Danish Black Metal.

But facts alone can’t possibly describe what BLODARV is all about. BLODARV is the link between the known and the unknown.It is the physical incarnation of Hugin’s mind brought to life through BLODARVs music and lyrics. Like the storytellers of old BLODARV leads the listener through a dark, evil, demonic world, peopled by lost souls, witches and demons. It is a journey that disturbs, and at the same time enriches, those who embark on it.
