Moirai - Völuspá II [official]

"Völuspá II" is the tenth song of Moirai's Album "Blood Treasure, Woven Fates".

MOIRAI specialise in the musical treasures of the middle ages with a focus on what has been lost in time, long before current notation systems came into use and of which only tantalising glimpses remain. The unique trio use original written sources and oral traditions, which they artistically interpret and respectfully recombine.

"Völuspá, the prophecy of the seeress, offers a reflection on the force of creation, the flame of inspiration, the creative spark that brings the birth of the world. The simple rhythmical pattern of the early medieval lyre accompanies this meditative chant on the mythological creation of the world."

To be released on the upcoming album of the ensemble Moirai: "Blood Treasure, Woven Fates".
On their new album, MOIRAI bring an ancient story back to life that they have extracted from Old Icelandic manuscripts and perform in the original language. On eight of the ten album tracks they sing of the hero Sigurd, who kills the dragon Fafnir and wins a cursed treasure of red gold. They also sing of a bitter feud between two powerful women, Brynhild and Gudrún, and deadly intrigues at the Burgundian court that finally lead to three kings meeting their terrible fate in the halls of Atli, king of the Huns.

It's already easy to say this will be my favourite record of the year. What an amazing ensemble (and the production of the recording is fantastic). Amazing work, Kunsthall, I love your choice of artists (the Nordgeist record was so good).
