 lyrics
Forgiving
Trust in the shadows
Within
Without knowing
Darker
And darker, the pathway
Semblance returning
An old friend to me

Watchers in the night
White glow in their eyes
Bleeding from their palms
Shouting to be calm
Somewhere to be whole
Something taking hold
Treading where the pain is
Master of us all

Rebirth
Dreadful exhaustion

Revolting
Reflection
Embellish
Deception

you're molting
you are changing
the error
ever consuming

increasing
deprivation
the enticement
desperation

become violence
become hatred
become haunted
become anguish

become worthless
isolated
on your own

answers will come
wading out to the sea
towards the sun
with a full heart
it will break at the seams

always alone
wounds remain
and the pain wont concede

Tantalizing, the nectar of the gods.
Used and discarded, you alone
Will have to face the shadows
Upon release
Of tension, you will scream out
For the light to prevail
And the answers will not come to you
Arent you ashamed
Lost drowning
In the abyss
Of
Torment
You disgust me

LORRIDI is a Folk/Viking Power Metal one-man band by Jan Magne Garte. Taking inspiration from the sagas of the viking age and norse mythology, Garte creates vivid images of the old gods and warriors through his music and lyrics.

Born in Norway, 1971. At the age of 16, Jan Magne Garte played bass in different bands starting in the mid '80s. Growing in popularity and opening for some of the most popular Norwegian Rock bands at the time. By the early 2000s, Garte started expanding his repertoire by singing songs himself and switching from bass to guitar.

Around the same time his parental duties would start to take the focus from the music, and his career as a musician   took a hiatus for almost two decades. Now after all this time, his love for making music has truly rekindled and the old musician has returned. 

All of his music is heavly influenced by the songs of his youth, from genres such as '80s hard rock, heavy metal, thrash, but also taking notes from the next generation of musicians.

Garte also has another solo project under his own name. 
All tracks were composed, arranged, recorded and mastered by Garte himself.
