Hamingja

After the success of their previous collaboration «Skuggsjá»; Ivar Bjørnson (Enslaved) and Einar Selvik (Wardruna) are now following up with an imposing new piece entitled «Hugsjá». The word ‘Hugsjá’ means to see with, or within, the mind – and it reflects the idea that one’s mind has the potential to see further than the eyes can reach. By weaving together indigenous and contemporary thoughts, sounds and instruments, they are inviting you on a vivid journey - exploring the distant history and traditions along coastal Norway. The album is set for release through Norwegian label By Norse Music on April 20th 2018.

Hugsjá was first commissioned by, and performed at, Bergen International Festival in 2017, as part a series of concerts named Nordvegen (“the northern road”); inspired by local history and traditions in each of the places visited. The Nordvegen concerts created an acoustic and intimate basis for the grandiose commissioned work, “Hugsjá”. The piece received its world premiere in Bergen’s premiere concert hall Grieghallen, and ultimately the material was recorded and became this full-length album. Roadburn 2018 will be both the release party and international live debut of “Hugsjá”, the album.

NYTT LAND 'Oðal' CD (CSR249CD)

Siberian band NYTT LAND presents its new epic musical canvas. Working with the same unchanging 4 band-members, the musicians continue to revive the true magical sound of the Ancient North.

OĐAL...
HERITAGE...
PATH TO THE ROOTS...

Oðal is inspired by the traditional music of the indigenous peoples of Siberia, the Old Icelandic epic and the atmosphere of classic Norwegian black metal.

This time the album was recorded without using samples; all parts of the instruments were performed live. All songs were recorded and mixed in one of the technical quality best Russian studios, "Radio Sibir", which strongly affected the sound quality. All the sounds of nature were recorded in western Siberia and northern Norway.

For the first time the 4-year-old son of Natalia and Anatoly, Yuri Pakhalenko, took part. By this they emphasise the concept of the album - heritage.

As in the previous album, Fimbulvinter (CSR234CD), Oðal features the traditional Siberian overtone singing technique "kargyraa", but the overtone singing by vocalist Natalia Pakhalenko gives a special character to the sound. This is very unique, since this technique is a almost exclusively a male singing practice due to its physicality.

So, it's time to start the path to the roots...

Presented in a 6-panel digipak.

Halo Manash - putoUSVA

Lyrics and vocal arrangements by Amanda Aalto.

They called him a king 
of the Three Stones 
that held the light 
of the moon and the sun 

The evil one 
played games with his mind 
But he's heart was true 
and he broke through 

We follow the light that lead you here 
We'll conquer the dark that came too near 
We'll stand we'll fight forever here 
by your side 

We'll brighten the sun, the moon, the stars 
Even with the cost of our own scars 
We'll stand and we'll fall forever here 
by your side 

Fëanor 

Born in Valinor 
In the land of Valar 
One to lead them all 
across the sea 
He grew up to become a king 
To serve his people 
And to fight against the dark 
with the light in his heart 

The strength in your heart will never fade 
We'll cherish all words you ever said 
We stand and we'll fight until death 

The light of the stars will sing your name 
Though the light of our trees won't shine again 
They stand in the dark with your shame 
Our brave king 

Fëanor 

He fell upon a balrog-blade 
that took his life and set his soul free 
His kin fought in his name 'til the end 
Against the beasts of dark 
in the land of Mithrim 

Creating the Three Stones 
Crystal shining 
The light of Laurelin 
and Telperion 
He fought and protected 
the elven treasure 
But Melkor got him first 
and took all the light 

We follow the light that lead you here 
We'll conquer the dark that came too near 
We'll stand we'll fight forever here 
by your side 

We'll brighten the sun, the moon, the stars 
Even with the cost of our own scars 
We'll stand and we'll fall forever here 
by your side
