The label Season of Mist had a bunch of newcomers this year and among them are the accomplished Faroe Islander Eivør. She does not composes metal but she definitely speaks to the community in many ways. While she did perform in a couple of metal festival such as Midgardsblot and Wacken Open Air, her album Enn to be released on June 14th will be the first during this era. Here some extracts about the concept and what to expect:
If you like what we do, consider ing us on Patreon for as little as £1 per month!“Enn is the most nuanced and experimental album that I’ve created to date”, Eivør says. “The songs range from symphonic space opera vibes to more beat-driven and dark electronic moods. I wanted to explore the links between humanity and nature; the primal urges of the heart, the undying desires of the human flesh and the endless struggle we choose to endure in order to achieve our goals.”
A couple of days ago, she released the single “Jarðartrá” and its video. The inspiring aesthetics, be it by the artworks and the video, reflect the lyrics brilliantly.
Don’t fancy Patreon? Buy us a one-off beverage!“When I wrote this song, I envisioned the earth in its rawest elements: oceans, volcanoes, storms, soil”, re Eivør. “We all have echoes of these elements within us, but maybe we tend to forget that we are part of nature and its endless circle of decay and growth”.
The video’s laser light show glistens like a pearl necklace, but “Jarðartrá” beckons us away from our own greed and destruction and back into the warm embrace of mother nature. In English, the title translates as “Death Lust”, a primordial desire to return to the earth.”
