Background information about 'Niht'

Sowulo ventures deep into the sacred darkness with "Niht", a haunting exploration of night as both teacher and transformative force. This immersive album emerges from the profound personal loss experienced by Dutch composer Faber Horbach, channeling grief into a ritualistic journey through the subconscious realm. Using historical instruments and Anglo-Saxon lyrics, tracks like "Asteorfan" (to die) and "Sol ond Mani" (sun and moon) weave together mythology and transformation with primal vocals and deliberately broken instruments that confront ego death and the void left by extinguished light.

The album's spiritual depth reaches its peak with "Monaþblod" (moon blood), where guest vocalist Micky Huijsmans delivers powerful, raw compositions that channel feminine wisdom and lunar rhythms. Each song becomes a meditation on mourning, inner stillness, and the cyclical nature of existence, creating cinematic soundscapes that feel both ancient and urgently contemporary. With its ritualistic force and surrender to the night's teachings, "Niht" stands as a profound spiritual act that transforms personal darkness into universal understanding.

For fans of: Wardruna, Heilung, Danheim and Eivør
