Posted on 5 March 2015 by Michel29 January 2021
arstidir lifsins aldafodr ok munka drottinn

Árstíðir Lífsins have recently released one of the most incredible and awe inspiring albums that I have ever heard with “Aldafǫðr ok munka dróttinn” (“Óðinn and the God of the Monks”) an 81 minute masterpiece in metal history. Combining elements of Old Norse literature/stories, ambient/folk/modern instrumentation and numerous vocal styles, Árstíðir Lífsins have created an overwhelming tribute to the past and folklore of the countries of the north. Stefán was able to answer some questions regarding the band, the album and their philosophy……

Rating: 10/10 Release: 6 March 2015 Label: Van Records I will be the first one to admit (and rightfully so) that I am guilty of overusing the word “epic” to describe most things that are cool, interesting, or just awesome…mostly, in regards to music. Hearing the new Árstíðir lífsins album … Continue reading →
