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".

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.

NYTT LAND Gullinkambi

Fables is distant echoes of ancient myths and rituals. Fables is music, that traveler hears in the songs of forest birds, in the howl of the northern wind, in the creaking of branches, in the silence of a starry night and in the sound of his own heart. Fables is dreams and visions that we will forget after awakening, but will remember at the last moment…

Farewell, the last track of Rúnfells first album "Vangheimr". It's a song about saying goodbye. Whether it's a good friend, a loved one or family. Everyone has to face the harsh reality at some point in life: we're all just a breeze within our world that leaves a temporary mark.

Lyrics:

Milli níu heima
á rótum trésins situr hún
færir mér mjúka steina
forna orku geyma

Gullveig
þrisvar brennd
Gullveig
þrisvar borin 
Gullveig
Heiður kölluð

Seið hún, hvars hún kunni,
Seið hún hug leikinn,
Æ var hún angan

--

Between the nine worlds
On the roots of the tree she sits
She gives me soft stones
charged with ancient energy

Gullveig
Thrice burned
Gullveig 
Thrice Reborn
Gullveign
Honor called

In magic wise, minds the bewitched
that were moved by her magic
And joy she had

Lyrics + Vocals by Sigurboði Grétarsson

Rúnaákall" its related to the runes like "Futharuna", and each rune has a different vibe according to what it represents to us and what it represented to the Nordic , Germanic people. 
The album also its about shamanism ,nature ,and magic, a shamanic view of the meaning of the runes. 
We express in the form of music what we feel and understand about nature in a primitive,tribal and ritualistic way.

Wardruna's Solringen, I LOVE THIS SONG! I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! 
I vocalized only the first part a while ago.. but I was inspired. All rights ofcourse go to Wardruna, if you like them buy everything they have! :D

Parts of the song are mixed with the original song because I'm simply horrible with percussion and I think it sounds pretty cool. :3

I played the drones and the dreamy spacey sounds are also done by me working happily and crazy on the Tyros 4 (on which I play rarely), all the vocals are done by me and all in all this was just an amazing piece to work on..

I will probably try to make it even more awesome because there's still a lot I want to work on but so far I'm fucking happy okay.

Sola gjekk i ringen, sumaren sende
Hanar galar rismål for alvar i enga

Avl i bringa - Avl i jordi

Hanar galande, galdrar groande
Nornar spinnande, lagnadar bindande
Gudar gråtande, ulvar ulande
ravnar ropande, risar sovande
Skuggar truande, aksen duvande
åkre veksande, soli skinande
ulvar jagande soli flykande

Solringen

Let yourself be in the 800s, when the Viking warriors left the NORROIS’s land on their famous Drakkars, looking for the treasure of the West in the land of the Celts.

Vent du NORD

A project to rekindle our nordic ancestors' spirits through their powerful instruments and music.

Through old, partly ancient instruments, I want to kindle the spirit of our ancestors. What does viking music mean to me? Old, gnarly and rough instruments, aged by the salt of the seas. Whereas medieval tracks resonate with the zeitgeist of the according lifestyle back then. I want you to feel the incredible, overwhelming raw power of music, composed, produced and lived by my heart.
