Vindum, vindum Vef Darraðar, Þanns ungr konungr Átti fyrri. Fram skulum ganga Ok í folk vaða, Þars vinir órir Vápnum skipta. Vindum, vindum Vef Darraðar Ok siklingi Síðan fylgjum. Þar séa bragna Blóðgar randir Gunnr ok Göndul, Þærs grami fylgðu. Vindum, vindum Vef Darraðar, Þars vé vaða Vígra manna. Látum eigi Líf hans farask. Eigu valkyrjur Vals of kosti.

Gól of hánum Í galgviði Fagrrauðr hani, Sá er Fjalarr heitir. Gól of ásum Gullinkambi, Sá vekr hölða At Herjaföðrs; En annarr gelr Fyr jörð neðan Sótrauðr hani At sölum Heljar.

Sól ek sá, Sanna dagstjörnu, Drúpa dynheimum í; En Heljar grind Heyrðak ek á annan veg Þjóta þungliga. Sól ek sá, Svá hon geislaði, At ek þóttumk vættki vita; En gylfar straumar Grenjuðu annan veg, Blandnir mjök við blóð. Sól ek sá Setta dreyrstöfum; Mjök var ek þá ór heimi hallr; Máttug hon leizk Á marga vegu Frá því sem fyrri var. Sól ek sá Á sjónum skjálfandi, Hræðslufullr ok hnipinn; Því at hjarta mitt Var harðla mjök Runnit sundr í sega. Sól ek sá Sjaldan hryggvari; Mjök var ek þá ór heimi hallr; Tunga mín Var til trés metin, Ok kólnat at fyrir utan.

about

"NYTT LAND transcends from the spirit world once again, traversing from the dark and frostbitten woods of Siberia to the burning plains of the prairie, awaking an old Ritual anew. Based on their latest album, NYTT LAND returns with a new incantation, Ritual: Blood of the West, out November 18 via Napalm Records. The EP ensnares new listeners and longtime fans alike with haunting gothic folk and western-inspired versions of favorites from their acclaimed 2021 album, Ritual. While prevailed by the entrancing recognizable melodies and hair-raising throat singing of the shamanic dark folk duo, NYTT LAND conjures bewitching new sounds and vocals, beckoning listeners to a spirit realm filled with ancient gods and heroes of the old west.
Following their traditions and worthshipping their connection to nature, NYTT LAND directs its powers toward a new territory, leaving behind the rough lands of the north and embarking on a sonic journey in five transfixing songs. Staying thematically faithful to ancient legends and adapting to the temperate sounds of the west, opening song “Dark Country. Ritual” not only displays NYTT LAND’s dedication to their own legacy, but opens the EP with an enchanting, ambient new sound, rising and falling like smoke. On “The Blues of Ragnarok” and “Song of U-Gra” the band flexes its trademark vocal approach with summoning chants that gently carry the listener away to another mental state, conveying more tranquil versions of the originals without losing their depth and ancient thematic significance. “Dead Man’s Ballad” tells its story like a coyote howling at the moon, offering a mysterious yet soothing blend of guitar and vocals that reinterpret the band’s dark folk essence. “Blood of the West” closes the EP with acoustic guitar instrumentals that summon the spirits of the west and leaves the listener enchanted, induced in the serene, ancient sounds of the grasslands. Follow NYTT LAND’s mystic vocals and hypnotizing guitar sounds on a journey into a whole new spirit world with Ritual: Blood of the West!"

This might be my favourite of Heilung. They've improved a bit on their later releases but their debut is still much meaner, and darker. Maria's amazing voice obviously steals the show but I also quite like Kai's too, especially on the live performance. In fact I'd say get LIFA over this IMO. The spoken word bits are really cool to hear proto-germanic in use but for relistening purposes they are going to be a bit obtrusive. Nevertheless the proper music here is on continual repeat for me.

i like this version better than the original. The middle part has that aggression that makes the excellent balance with the beginning and ending of the song. owlobo
