HLJÓÐ
Dark Nordic Ritual Music (songs from the old north)
Dark Nordic Ritual Music (songs from the old north)
Hljod is Old Norse for "sound" or "call". These are songs made as rituals: slow ascents of voice and choir, threaded with the cold patience of the old north.
Each song gathers around a figure from Norse myth, a goddess, a Norn, a sea-mother, a keeper of the threshold. The lyrics are sung in Icelandic, closest living echo of the language of the Eddas.
New song every Sunday.
A one-hour descent into the forgotten flame. Ritual of Seiðr (the Old Norse magic of seers and shape-changers), woven as a slow mass for the old ways.
