The mystery of what has not yet transpired flees from the blade of early morning’s light.

Memory remains as a shadow.

Urd, Skuld&Verdandi

Memories In The Shadow - Tir (Single)

After a promising debut recording in 2016, Turkish horde Tir returns three years later with a new offering entitled “Urd, Skuld & Verdandi”, an 11-track ordeal of what one could describe as classic Dungeon Synth, utterly atmospheric and evocative. Drinking from the ancient fountain led by entities such as Burzum and Mortiis, Tir portray a shadowy landscape filled with visions of mystery, an aura that embraces the cryptic and the arcane. Ethereal keyboard passages are intertwined with Folk overtones expressing the darkness and gloom of a long-forgotten past, a piercing and poignant musical and visual display.

Out on Repose Records on limited cassette and Digipak CD edition, “Urd, Skuld & Verdandi” stands as a full-on experience of powerful patterns of nature and nostalgia that will certainly take the listener on a startling journey through the unknown and beyond...

Tir, a Dungeon Synth/Dark Folk project, originated in Türkiye and currently resides in Australia. As the sole and first representative of the Dungeon Synth scene in Türkiye, Tir has garnered international recognition with a discography that includes several notable releases.

The debut album, "Mountains," was launched in 2016 under Elegy Records (USA). Following this, the second album, "Urd, Skuld & Verdandi," and the third album, "Mountains Redux," were released in 2019 through Repose Records (UK). "Urd, Skuld & Verdandi" was masterfully crafted by Markus Stock (aka Empyrium), with vocal contributions from Thomas Helm (aka Empyrium) on two tracks.

Subsequent works include "Nigritude" (2020) and "Persepolis" (2021), both released under Brilliant Emperor Records (AU). The latest offering, "Awaiting the Dawn," marked a significant milestone with a dual release on Cassette, CD, and Vinyl on April 7, 2023, through Orko Productions and Brilliant Emperor Records. Markus Stock once again handled the mastering, while Thomas Helm lent his vocals to three songs on the album, further enhancing its artistic depth and international appeal.
