Background information about 'Avart'
Deep in the Swedish hinterlands, Änterbila have forged "Avart" — 'Aberration' — a blackened folk metal descent into the darker currents of national folklore. Where their debut opened the door to a world of superstition, this one strides further inside, and it does so from a deliciously wrong angle: not the wandering listener's perspective, but through the eyes of the adversary. Here dwell the outcasts and the damned — the murderer fated long before the act, the smith whose forge burns with otherworldly fire, the troll king ruling unseen, the man cursed to live and die as the ulv. It is storytelling without a safety net.
And the music matches that ruthlessness. Recorded with almost no retakes and shaped collectively yet still guided by the band's founding vision, "Avart" sounds caught in the act rather than polished into place. Riffs come caked in grime, melodies drift veiled in the haze of old superstition, and the whole thing shifts restlessly between the unruly and the enchanted. Violins, bagpipes and spectral female vocals — courtesy of Thomas von Wachenfeldt, Halte Galten and Malin Runefelt — weave bright threads through all that darkness, while echoes of Arckanum, Taake and Panphage linger without ever pinning the band down. Mixed by Lars Broddesson (ex-Marduk) and mastered by Thomas von Wachenfeldt, it lands both vicious and spectral: the clash of steel in a torchlit hall, the weight of unseen eyes in a twilight forest. "Avart" doesn't merely tell its tales — it traps you inside them.
For fans of: Arckanum, Taake, Panphage, Kampfar, Windir
