EIN: Burial at Sea (Ættarbál)Single
DRAUGABLíKK
Against the sounds of sea and weather and the crackling of the fire, the storyteller speaks of long ago. It is time to honor the fallen! A distinct Scandinavian folk sound blends traditional musical arrangements with Eastern instrumentation and ancient throat-singing, from which swells a lush soundscape of reverence and wonder.
As the dead chieftain’s ship is set ablaze by fire archers from the shoreline, his assembled comrades commend his soul’s journey to the old gods.
EIN: Burial at Sea is not meant to sound new, but never was it meant to sound old.
Tracklist:
- Hel var Árheim (Old Norse Poetry)
- Ættarbál: Burial at Sea
Draugablíkk is a musical, cultural, and historical project whose boreo-pagan folk sound blends traditional Scandinavian instruments and arrangements with Eastern instrumentation and ancient throat-singing, reflecting the wide world traveled by the Vikings, the Rus’, and the Varangians. We aim to create bold music and immortal art inspired by Norse, Gothic, Celtic, and Scythian archeology and folklore.
