Known the world-over for its authenticity and integrity when it comes to portraying its Norse heritage, Norway's Helheim will be back on 29 October with the eleventh full-length album WoduridaR, which promises a return to the roots that the band forged almost 30 years ago.
As a follow up to 2017s LandawarijaR and 2019s Rignir, WoduridaR fuses the aggression of the former with the focus on the atmosphere and melodies and the use of clean vocals of the latter, something that the band found exciting, and are interested in developing further. For good measure, the judicious use of elements from all of Helheim's releases has produced an album that sums up their legendary career.
WoduridaR is an Old Norse word, which can be translated as "The Wild Rider", and lines can be drawn directly between the album's title to Odin's many names and meanings. It is not, however, a concept album, with the tracks being independent of each other, and each one free to tell its own story.
Commenting on WoduridaR, Helheim had this to say: "With WoduridaR we have returned to the harshness and the paradigms of LandawarijaR, with explosive, mid-paced melodies that have an emotive refrain which summons the northern flames. Helheim never falters, Helheim never surrenders".
WoduridaR was recorded by Vulture Industries' Bjørnar E. Nilsen at Bergen's Conclave & Earshot Studio; with artwork by Tom Korsvold.
As a taster of what fans can expect from WoduridaR Dark Essence Records released the title track on 4 August, which awaits you right below. Link
