bmurator Icelandic Viking / Black Metal. Fantastic music in the tradition of that country! I am not sure how it made it in my recommendations but I am glad it did!. Love the mix of vocals! Highly recommended!!! Favorite track: The True Awakening.

Obstacle of Affliction Well this was an unexpected surprise like the last time I bought some "hot" sauce. As a lover of all hot sauces, no matter the name or origin, but to be honest, the more exotic, the better, when it says 'hot' often it is disappointingly not hot. I mean I like fucking toasting my tongue and then regretting that decision the next day while on the toilet.
This release on the other hand is definitely not disappointing.
Wow, that was a weird abuse of grammar.
Fucking listen to this! It's outstanding! Favorite track: Son of a Barren Land.

about

FORTÍÐ release the "World Serpent"! With this dark and deadly duology, mastermind Einar Eldur Thorberg delivers an album of two parts: The first five tracks were recorded with the former Norwegian line-up. The other songs are a creation of the multi-instrumentalist after changing his residence back to Iceland and enlisting the support of drummer Kristján Einar Guðmundsson (KONTINUUM) with whom he had previously collaborated in the native cult act POTENTIAM.
"World Serpent" is loosely based on a unifying apocalyptic theme, but also a beast of two faces. The first half witnesses FORTÍÐ subtly experimenting with influences of Bay Area Thrash, while the second half returns to a more black metal approach with screams and clean vocals. Although both parts have diverging musical visions and even different line-ups, they complement each other rather than constitute two separate entities.
Despite some subtle experimentation and drastic line-up changes, FORTÍÐ are still following the course that Einar Eldur set on the "Völuspá"-trilogy of albums from 2003 to 2010 as well as the acclaimed "Pagan Prophecies" (2012) and "9" (2015) full-lengths: harsh black and death metal riffing with a penchant for epic melodies combined with versatile vocals and a dose of "Icelandic sound". With “World Serpent”, FORTÍÐ have unleashed a dark and deadly creature onto the pagan metal world!

"World Serpent" is available as Digipak CD and on Gatefold 2LP vinyl (black, ltd. transparent Curacao blue).

PSA: if there was an album you heard a couple years ago and thought it was ok, listen to it again and you might love it. That's what happened to me with this album. I cannot fathom why it didn't stick with me back then. Same thing happened with Decoherence's Unitarity for that matter. Matten

Powerful, plaintive expression of the fathomless sorrow of our suffering cetaceans and their depthless home, together with the indescribable loveliness of their distant blue-black realm. I feel as much interstellar space here as I do deep ocean, equally crushing and buoying. Dave Aftandilian
