NORDVARGR 'Pyrrhula' LP (CSR98LP)

We are proud to announce a special vinyl edition of the Black Ambient masterpiece from Nordvargr (Mz.412). "Pyrrhula", is one of our most requested albums, and was originally released on CD by Cold Spring in 2008. This 2021 edition has been restored from the original masters, and further refined for the vinyl format.

Ltd x 500 copies on pale amber vinyl with artwork based on the original concept by Abby Helasdottir. Comes with exclusive artcard when bought directly from us.

Partly based on an old Swedish folktale, Pyrrhula ("doomlord") is a pitch black journey into utter darkness. This is a tale of foreboding doom... a portent of dark times to come... a blight on the face of this earth. These eight Black Ambient / Doom / Droneworks were brought forth from the abyss of Villa Bohult exclusively for Cold Spring and contain the malevolent vocals of Lord Nordvargr himself!

"Beware the small creatures of light, they only bring misery and death upon the enlightened ones. For they will paint their breast with blood and reap your unborn angels."

Also released in celebration of this edition:

'Pyrrhula' T-Shirt - Black Fruit Of The Loom Heavy Cotton t-shirt with front and back print. Bundle available.

Time For A Change

I am worried about publishing this song. As a musician and songwriter, I am not shy about honestly expressing my confused and often contradicting views in words and music; writing and performing the results is as much therapy for me as it is torture for you.
However, my views on THE church are as extreme as my experiences with its representatives - Men, I know to be utterly corrupt, devious, deceitful, in short anything but what they claim to be. It is because of them and, what I believe to be their true agenda, that I frequently question the origins of the Lord's words, a terrible state to find myself in...
Are these men misappropriating/abusing the words of the Lord, or have they invented them? And if they have indeed made them up, where does that leave me?

These are angry words, trying to rid myself of the rage that regularly returns - not an old friend, but a destructive force.

Please understand. Do not be offended. Thank you.

lyrics

like the raven the wise one
we're predators too
ravens prey on ducklings
like we prey on you

believed to be noble
we are anything but
and like the raven
the devil
we are creatures of god

we own these lands 
by enslaving its people
never have our hands
built a wall or a steeple

we are a curse 
we're the plague
bred from birth
to deceive and to take

we laugh at your faith
in the stories we told you
we lie to your face
make sure you don't grow



your blind faith is
all we need
all the worlds races
before us on their knees

we are the church
the bishops, the priests
the pope and the preachers
slavers and thieves


and if one day we stand before a gate
before a god who decides our fate
we'll thank him gladly
for the life we had
heaven on earth
it's more than they get
the true believers
who prayed to the lord
victims of deceivers
who made up his words

From the album The Thing Itself And Not The Myth
---------------------
First having read the book of myths,
and loaded the camera,
and checked the edge of the knife-blade,
I put on
the body-armor of black rubber
the absurd flippers
the grave and awkward mask.
I am having to do this
not like Cousteau with his
assiduous team
aboard the sun-flooded schooner
but here alone.
---------------------
From Diving Into The Wreck by Adrienne Rich
---------------------
An album made from sounds gathered underwater and along many shorelines. It is built from drones played by a synchronised swimming speaker broadcasting into a fjord, many spluttering radios, geese, and morse code.

Aktion

Absorbed into same old patterns
 A denial of the current
This withering
Of expectation 
Will leave you
Transparent  

Abstract figures
 Of an all-time low
Strayed from the tracks of reason 
The lack of anger
Is the fool’s mark
Newfound prophets 
Speak through glass  

You’re always seeking permanence
In constant limitations 
But this haze
Of situations
Will make us 
Timeless
