HELRUNAR Commence Recording New Album
April 21, 2007, 17 years ago
HELRUNAR recently entered Klangschmiede Studio E to record the follow-up to their album Frostnacht (2005). Their new work will be entitled Baldr Ok Íss. "The new records contains everything from dark, brutal black metal in the early Norwegian tradition to epic songs in the vein of BATHORY, from rocking mid-tempo to delicate, fragile acoustic pieces and influences from archaic Norse folklore," Skald Draugir proudly puts on record.
One of the new tracks already has gained a special importance for the band: 'Schwarzer Frost'. "This song, sound and lyrics and all, is nothing less than a hymn to the original Norwegian Black Metal," the band's vocalist and lyricist Draugir enthuses. "In an abstract way, the lyrics describe the emotions and experiences that, to us, were connected to the ‘discovery’ of this kind of music back then."
Baldr Ok Íss is scheduled for release via Lupus Lounge in autumn 2007.
