Syven plays atmospheric, dark, and heavy ambient. The traditional Finnish string instrument - the kantele - is joined by atmospheric synth layering, ritualistic percussion and heavy distortion where appropriate to convey shamanistic and primordial themes. Originally released on Prophecy Productions' exclusive compilation "Whom the Moon a Nightsong Sings".

Heilung is a new project between Kai Uwe Faust and Christopher Juul. Heilung is amplified history from early medieval northern Europe and should not be mistaken for a modern political or religious statement of any kind.

This track is from the "soon to be released" debut album Ofnir. feat. Maria Franz. 



Heilung - Krigsgaldr

It's a beautiful starry night and you stand on a large rock looking over the fjord, frost covers your cheeks but your heart feels warm. You hear the verses of the Havamal in the wind. They echo, they pass by and come back to caress your ears and make sure the words will be remembered. The Allfather speaks.

Verse 24, 25 and 28 from the Havamal.

Ósnotur maður
hyggur sér alla vera
viðhlæjendur vini.
Hittki hann finnur,
þótt þeir um hann fár lesi,
ef hann með snotrum situr.

Ósnotur maður
hyggur sér alla vera
viðhlæjendur vini;
þá það finnur,
er að þingi kemur,
að hann á formælendur fáa.

Fróður sá þykist,
er fregna kann
og segja ið sama.
Eyvitu leyna
megu ýta synir,
því er gengur um guma.

Ósnotur maður

Heilung is sounds from the northern european iron age and viking period. We used everything from running water, human bones, reconstructed swords and shields up to ancient frame drums and bronze rings in the songs. 
The lyrics contain original texts from rune stones and preserved spear shafts, amulets and other artifacts. Furthermore poems, which either deal with historical events or are translations/ interpretations of the originals. 
Every attempt to link the music to modern political or religious points are pointless, since Heilung tries to connect the listener to the time before Christianity and its political offsprings raped and burned itself into the northern european mentality. 
Heilung means healing in german and describes the core of the sound. It is supposed to leave the listener eased and relaxed after a sometimes turbulent musical journey.

NYTT LAND 'Fimbulvinter' CD (CSR234CD)

Second edition of Nytt Land's 2017 album, which quickly sold out on first pressing.

Notably outstanding on the Russian scene and largely compared with the legendary Wardruna, NYTT LAND are unique in their devotion to ritual Northern music and tradition. Their approach, using genuine native hand-crafted instruments, and true Old Norse, help them to grasp the true spirit of ancient Northern music like no one in Eastern Europe has done before. Their music is mostly based on the sources from Poetic Edda, performed in original Old Islandic.

"Fimbulvinter" is enriched with instruments like bagpipes and trembita (Alpine horn), and throat singing skillfully used to illustrate the occurrence of the forces of chaos; chthonic monsters in the world of men and gods. Fear and powerlessness alongside belief in the coming revival, renewal.

All Scandinavian mythology is permeated with fatalism, humbleness to fate. The same mood saturates "Fimbulvinter". The first part is dedicated to the creation of the world and people, embodying the warm seasons. The second half to winter, the death of all living things.
