| :BOLVERK: is EXTREME NORWEGIAN METAL aiming to be as sad and melodic as Solstafir in one end and as brutal as Marduk in the other. We are exploring the borders of the Extreme Metal genre and are actively working with the contrasts that all our inspirations have embedded in us. Our music is about melody as well as brutality. We want you to sing along as well as wanting to furiously bang your head. Good music makes you want to move, and that is one of the goals we aim to achieve with :BOLVERK: The name “Bolverk” is originally one of Odin’s personas. He used the name Bolverk when he went out to steal the mead of poetry, and there was a lot of blood-splatter and killing in the process. Later adaptations see the word used as a description for something solid and impenetrable. We even have it in our local dialect as “bælværk” where it means something like a big, sturdy unformly mass. Anyway, all this, maybe apart from the unformly mass, are things that comply with our music. Melody, poetry, brutality, tightness and a sturdy and down-to-earth attitude. The title of the album, “Uaar”, means a bad year in older Norwegian language. This was usually used when the crops failed and people starved. It fits well with the state of the world for the last two years, we think. Release date for the album is the 27th of May 2022. A lot of material is already written for its successor which will be unleashed as early as late spring 2023. The release of “Uaar” will be accompanied by a release-party the 11th of June, where we will treat you to free music that will challenge your listening skills and everything will be filmed and recorded for a live video. :BOLVERK: “Uaar”Side A:Death the Whore 05:58Uaar 05:27Time for Chaos 04:38Svovelpredikant 05:36 Side BSecterian Bloodshed 06:57Prevail in Silence 06:23Bride of Christ 06:47 Bonus song CD only:From the Depths 06:12 |
