about

Contemplation upon the essence of Bláinn - Blēwaz þurisaz - forms the spiritual core of this album. Bláinn is perceived here as an aspect of Aurgelmir, who forms an ethereal embodiment of the underworld and it’s currents. The very essence of His body consists of the black mountain, which rises from the uttermost deep of the underworld. The mountain stands on the well, located at the edge of the cosmos, which gave Him birth and filled Him with primordial life-repelling substance. The vastness of the mountain is defined by nine spheres and three wells, which constitutes the path towards the final spiritual death. In the middle of His skull lies the shiny rock that marks the entrance to the underworld. Surrounded by nine seas, the liminal state formed by the blood of Bláinn, the rock shines like the Pole Star, guiding spirits towards the verge of the worlds.

Bláinn represents the feminine side of Aurgelmir’s dual essence and His primordial call can be heard through His female descendants. As the rulers of the underworld and it’s passages, they keep the secrets which are hidden in the nightside realm of death. In the tracks of Tulkoon Yö, underworldly darkness, the quintessence of night, is called forth to suppress mundane senses, and to reveal secrets beyond the earthly barriers. The dark Mother watches over this silent work, when Her daughters hide the celestial lights behind the nine locks of the black iron mountain, and as such dismantles the illusions of being. When death’s inversed light is manifested, life shows it’s true nature as a fragile, devious fraud, generated by mischievous gods. As we hail Blēwaz þurisaz, we hail all ladies of the underworld who shall hear our wooings and permit our birth as deceased whilst blessing us with their otherworldly might.

Talviyö was conjured to represent how the light of Bláinn shows itself in our world through the cold winter nights of the North. Eino Leino (1878 - 1926) has described these beautiful and deadly reflections of primordial radiance in his poem of the same name. We wanted to use his vision - besides our own - for this piece of audible darkness. Talviyö depicts the harshness of winter night as an earthly manifestation of death’s domain, which can lure a man into its severe grip. When you are mesmerized by winter of iron and frost, the cries of the sustainers of life can no longer be heard, and the path downwards, to the the womb of unlife, then begins.

Swirling guitars, furious drums, vocals that at the same time howl from infinite distance and are right up in your head; everything put into dissonant form with the help of unconventional songwriting. This album is my personal key to the icelanding black metal madness that I've ignored for way too long! Lukas Kaufmann

Pure magic. That band everytime stands out of thousands of mediocre releases in the BM underground. Everything is unique. The music, the production, the image, language, the quality of the vinyl is perfect. oli83
