News : Premiere: Skuggsjá’s (Enslaved/Wardruna) epic “Kvervandi”

By on January 29, 2016

The first piece released a few weeks ago from the Skuggsjá debut, a collaboration between Enslaved and Wardruna members celebrating the 200th anniversary of the Norwegian constitution sat squarely on the folk side of things and while the second single still doesn’t break into the heaviest material on the album, it’s a much more grandiose number.

“Kvervandi means ‘turning’ or ‘whirling’ and is lyric-wise rather playfully displaying the various cycles of nature and of life from a Norse perspective. The song itself is heavy, slow moving, emotional and uncompromising just like the turning wheels of nature.”

This release is definitely something special and, trust us, it’s a masterpiece in it’s entirety. The self titled release is due out on March 11th through Season of Mist.
