The North

Vér erum synir norðrsinsWe are the sons of the north

Every word is sung in Old Norse, the language of the sagas. Not translated, not modernised. The way it was spoken before it went quiet.

Deep male chant over a war choir, tribal drums, tagelharpa drones and horns. No guitars, no synths. Recorded cold, mixed loud, built for the long dark.
