  • Ivar Bjørnson & Einar Selvik's – Skuggsjá
    Ivar Bjørnson & Einar Selvik’s – Skuggsjá (56:52, CD, Season of Mist, 2016) Sucht noch jemand den perfekten Soundtrack für klirrend kalte dunkle Winternächte? Oder für mystische Ausflüge in nordische Kultur und Geschichte? Eventuell auch für den nächsten Rollenspiel-Abend, oder als Unterlegung für die seelische Verarbeitung der letzten „Game of Thrones“-Folge? Eine oder mehrere Fragen mit Ja beantwortet? Dann dürfte „Skuggsjá“ (norwegisch für Spiegel) ein durchaus interessantes Werk sein. Hinter dem Konzept stehen zwei bekannte Namen der Black-Metal- Szene: Zu einem Enslaved-Gitarrist Ivar Bjørnson und zum anderen Einar Selvik (Wardruna), der unter anderem durch seine musikalischen Beiträge zur Fernsehserie „Vikings“ bekannt ist. Die Musik auf „Skuggsjá“ segelt unter dem Label Pagan Metal, echten Metal bekommt man allerdings eher selten zu hören. Der klassischste Metal-Titel dürfte ‚Skuggeslatten‘ sein, die meisten Kompositionen aber verursachen einen fast meditativen Sog: Moderne Instrumente mischen sich mit Klängen traditioneller Klangerzeuger wie Fiedel, Flöten, Pauken und Leiern. Die Songs basieren oft auf einer sich wiederholenden Grundidee, die sich nach und nach zu immer gewaltigeren Höhen aufschwingt. Immer wieder mischen sich dabei auch härtere Parts aus der Metal-Ecke unter. Die durchgehend norwegische Sprache tut ihr Übriges, um hier eine ganz eigene Atmosphäre zu schaffen. Höchst gewöhnungsbedürftig stellt sich ‚Makta og Vanaera (I All Tid)‘ dar: Die hier zu hörenden Growls sind sicher nichts für zarte Gemüter und sie passen nicht so recht zum Rest der Gesangsdarbietungen, die alle stimmig daherkommen.

  • Press Release
    Lausanne, January 23, 2013 PRESS RELEASE FESTIVAL INFERNO 2013: The line-up at the DOCKS is now complete! Hey! After the first salvo of names announced last November, we are pleased to release the complete line-up of bands that will perform at the 3rd edition of the Inferno Festival at the DOCKS on March 15 and 16: INTERNATIONAL BANDS SAMAEL, PRIMORDIAL, MY DYING BRIDE, DARK FUNERAL ANAAL NATHRAKH, AURA NOIR, WARDRUNA KEY SWISS BANDS AND NEWCOMERS RORCAL, ZATOKREV, ALGEBRA, ABRAHAM LINE-UP BY DATE FRIDAY 15 MARCH, LES DOCKS: SAMAEL PLAYS PASSAGE (CH) SAMAEL has greatly contributed to put Switzerland on the map of metal fans and has influenced loads of groups worldwide. They started as a black metal band but increasingly gave an industrial touch to their music; they will present their special project as a world exclusive at the 2013 edition of the Inferno Festival and will perform the album "Passage" (released in 1996) in its entirety! A performance not to be missed, because it is this album that established Samael on the international scene as a reference in the modern and classy black/industrial style. A unique opportunity to eventually hear "Jupiterian Vibe" and "Shining Kingdom" live! PRIMORDIAL (IRL) PRIMORDIAL is greatly influenced by the Irish origins of their members and their sound swings between Pagan, Celtic and black metal with heroic accents. The band is well known for the quality of its performances focused on the charisma of its frontman. Primordial will blast their own definition of the word "EPIC" with loads of conquering riffs.

  • Two Giants of Enslaved and Wardruna Joined Forces to Make Metal and Folk As One
    Two giants of Enslaved and Wardruna joined forces to make metal and folk as one. Thanks to this, the world first got the incredible Skuggsjá, and its equally well-made successor, Hugsjá. After their first tour, they talk about how it came about to their cooperation, where they get inspiration from, why black metal is not trve kvlt anymore and… why a combination of science fiction and folk music isn’t actually a bad idea. _____________ Hello, first of all I’d like to thank you that you’ve managed to find some time for an interview with KVLT-magazine. Let’s begin from the end then: not such a long time ago you finished your first real tour as one common project. What can you say about this tour? What kind of feedback did you get from the audience? And was there any gig you’ve waited for in particular? Ivar: It was a really successful tour, even though it was short. But those six concerts was enough for us. Tickets were sold out in many places. We got a really great feedback every night. Of course we had hoped it’d go well but… it really exceeded all our expectations! Every gig was special in its own way. And because we did maximum one gig per country, there were many visitors from other cities who really waited for this moment. It’s hard to pick one particular concert, though… but we can surely say that Cracow was one of such special nights, yes. I was there and I have to say it was a magical night… thank you for that.

Cultural Memory and Uses of History in Norwegian Black Metal. Studia Historica Upsaliensia 263. 221 pp. Uppsala: Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis. ISBN 978-91-513-0505-9. This dissertation examines uses of history and expressions of cultural memory in Norwegian black metal. Formed in the late 1980s and early 1990s, Norwegian black metal seemed at odds with many of the stereotypes of Norway. The genre is an extreme style of heavy metal music that has been associated with burning churches, desecrating graves, and committing murders. Yet, Norway is often perceived as wealthy with sublime natural beauty and high levels of equality. Since the late 1990s, Norwegian black metal has increasingly received positive recognition and support from Norwegian government agencies and cultural institutions who have deemed this style of music a cultural product of Norway. In exploring the relationship between Norwegian black metal and Norway, two primary questions are asked: what makes Norwegian black metal ‘Norwegian’ and what are its influences? To answer these questions, a theoretical approach based on Astrid Erll’s cultural memory complex is used.

The rise of interest in heavy metal academically reflects the growth of the genre as a normal or con- tested part of everyday lives around the globe. The aim of this series is to provide a home and focus for the growing number of monographs and edited collections that analyse heavy metal and other heavy music; to publish work that fits within the emergent subject field of metal music studies; that is, work that is critical and inter-disciplinary across the social sciences and humanities; to publish work that is of interest to and enhances wider disciplines and subject fields across social sciences and the humanities; and to support the development of early career researchers through providing opportunities to convert their doctoral theses into research monographs.

THE NIGHT IN DETAIL SEASON OF MIST OPENING NIGHT HELL MILITIA – (FR) Formed in 1999 by experienced hands (Hell Militia shares its members with Arkhon Infaustus & Temple of Baal, among others) the band comes from the French brutal black scene and allows no escape in front of the density of its dark and powerful sonoritites. Their last album, «Jacob’s Ladder» is a model of classical black metal and is marvellously well executed. http://www.hellmilitia.net IMPERIUM DEKADENZ - (DE) Formed in summer 2004 in Germany, Imperium Dekadenz took their name from a particular affection for the Roman Empire as well as the ancient Norwegian intellectual guides. The Germans will bring their atmosferic melodies and destructing riffs to the Romandie, spreading fire, war and destruction along their way. http://www.imperium-dekadenz.de Learn more about the label Season of Mist here: https://www.facebook.com/seasonofmistofficial/info PRESALES Tickets are on sale on https://www.petzitickets.ch/event_description.php?event_id=25254 PRICE: CHF 15.- (CHF 10.- for those who have an entry for the WARDRUNA – GJALLARHORN concert at the Château de Chillon). www.leromandie.ch www.infernofestival.ch 1/Press release Inferno Festival 12.02.2013 THE PROGRAM OF THE INFERNO FESTIVAL 2013 AT A GLANCE Château de Chillon Thu March 14, 2013 Doors 6PM / Concert 7PM WARDRUNA – GJALLARHORN FEAT.
