1.	Ofärd - Words from the Dead 04:30	lyrics	buy track
Wolves in the temple we are, Locked jaw to jaw in vile opposition, Blemish the gifts of the gods Heaving our poison in clear-water rivers Vargar i véum The black sword of Surtr is ours, Brandished to scorch our way through the masses. The false tongue of Loki is ours, The lies that we tell prove our best allies Words from the dead The living won´t listen Fear - our deepest fears Are written in this saga, Seer - please talk to me The impending doom is near Forsworn and furtive we stand, Patching up holes on the ships that seclude us, Harvesting nails till the end, The hour is nigh, the eagre´s upon us Langrækið hafið We battered and savaged the norns, Took over the wheel, entangling our life-threads, Fire and steel make the law: Each pays its toll or burns down to ashes Words from the dead The living won´t listen Fear - our deepest fears Are written in this saga, Seer - please talk to me The impending doom is near
2.	Völvans Spådom (The Seeress's prophecy) 03:53	lyrics	buy track
Óðinn: Völva! Rístu upp gamla, vitra kona. Opnaðu dauð, hvít augun. Horfðu í hyldýpið. Til ókomna daga. Völva! Hvað sérðu? Hvernig endar þetta? Völva: Garm nu gräsligt skäller framför Gnipahålan; fjättern skall brista, och fri blir ulven. Då skälver Yggdrasil, urträdet jämrar sig. Bröder banemän bliva, systrars barn sitt släktskap spilla; vindålder, vargålder, hårt är i världen, yxtid, klingtid, innan världen störtas; Naglfar lossnar. Solen svartnar, jord sänkes i hav, flammande stjärnor från fästet falla upp ångar imma, och elden lågar. Dunklets drake flygande nalkas, nedifrån Nidafjäll. Människors kroppar, på vingarna bär. Men gammal är hon, trött är hon, nu skall hon åter sjunka
3.	Man of Iron (Bathory´s cover) 03:47	lyrics	buy track
I have paced these forests for so long I don`t know if I am a man or I am beast I though hold deep within me a quest for revenge Then I must be a man as much as I can be. I have learned to speak the tongue of animal I have learned to read the signs in bark and snow I have taken within myself the spirits of my fathers long time gone. In this short time, far from home A man of iron I`ve grown A man of iron I have grown.

about

THE DIGITAL PURCHASE OF THIS ALBUM INCLUDES THE CGI VIDEO FOR "VÖLVANS SPÅDOM" IN HD!!

Recorded during May/June 2012 at Gråborg Studios and La Nave de Oseberg Studios.

Sound producer: Rodrigo Gudiña.
Recording engineers: Jorge Perini and Rodrigo Gudiña.
Mix and mastering: Sebastián Manta.

Loops used in Völvans Spådom by Jens Engelbrecht and Peo Drangert (“Scandinavian Roots Vol. 1”)

The cover illustrates a Völva (an alleged seer and practicant of sejd) holding a staff that resembles the Viking Age artifact (SHM inventory no. 25840) found in Klinta, Öland, in 1957. The raised stones and surrounding nature capture the essence of the typical cultural landscape seen in Southern Öland. The original painting was made by contemporary artist Martin Enrique Pelozo (contacto@mepolus.com.ar) especially for this single.

Layout and complementary artwork by Segersäll and Morten Gråfäll.

In case you wondered, Ofärd do not believe in politics, fundamentalism, religious or racial intolerance, or any other kind of narrow-minded behaviour. They believe in Nature, Music and the strong bonds that unite lovers, family and brethren.

No folk instruments were harmed during the recording of this single!

Primavera

A great folk-pop act from Buenos Aires, I really like their songs and their innovative way of presenting them. There's world music and indie, nature and urbanity. Be sure to check them out! Sergio Ribnikov Gunnarsson

Kentucky
by Panopticon

supported by 4 fans who also own “Words from the Dead (deluxe version)”

La mine, c'est le lieu qui met le plus en exergue les disparités sociales : d'un côté ils sont des milliers à descendre dans les entrailles de la terre, de l'autre une poignée s'élève socialement ; d'un côté ils meurent par centaines sous l'effet des coups de grisou, de l'autre ils consolident leurs richesses. Cette dualité, elle traverse aussi Kentucky : d'un côté le black metal atmosphérique asphyxiant, de l'autre l'americana et le folklore héroïque. Panopticon est dans la lutte permanente !
