HEILUNG - Drif [BLACK 2LP]

Limited edition white vinyl presented in a gatefold sleeve. More about 'Moþir' In the music of Forndom, the past breathes with a vitality that transcends time. "Moþir" is as complex as the deities it portrays, weaving together themes of fertility and loyalty, love and betrayal, light and shadow. It is an exploration of divine ambiguity, where the nurturing embrace of a mother can just as easily turn into the cold hand of inevitability. Here, Ludvig Swärd strips away the modern trappings of synthesizers, embracing a purely acoustic sound. The music feels as though it has been carved from the very earth, born from instruments fashioned by hand and played with reverence for the ancient. Recorded and mixed by Swärd himself, "Moþir" features the talents of Thomas von Wachenfeldt (Bards of Skaði), whose violin conjures both light and darkness; Janne Posti (Häxkapell, Sons of Crom), whose choral tones add a numinous depth; and Draugurinn, whose haunting presence lingers like a spirit from a forgotten age. Forndom’s latest offering is a meditation on the eternal cycle of life, death, and rebirth, seen through the lens of ancient Scandinavian spirituality. Ludvig Swärd continues to stand at the crossroads of the past and present, offering a glimpse into the heart of ancient wisdom through the eyes of a modern seeker.

CD in deluxe sewnbound hardcover book (18 x 18cm) covered with cotton fabric and bronze hot foil stamping, containing 76-pages booklet. More about 'Futha' HEILUNG means "healing" in the German language and this also describes the core of the band's sound. The listener is supposed to be left at ease and in a relaxed state after a magical musical journey that is at times turbulent. "Futha" was three years in the making and was finished for production and print at midwinter, the very darkest day of the solar year. At the opposite to "Ofnir", the new album is the counterpart, the balance point, the feminine side. Here, the lyrics originate from old Icelandic poetry. Hence, female voices are more prominent on "Futha". Any attempt to link the band with or bring their music into a modern political or religious context is pointless, since HEILUNG try to connect their listeners with a time before the coming of christianity and modern political ideologies. For fans of WARDRUNA, NEST, IVAR BJØRNSON & EINAR SELVIK'S SKUGGSJA & HUGSJA. Cover by Kai Uwe Faust & Layout by Christopher Juul.
