Swedish black metal trio Fornhem have released the glacial title track of their forthcoming new album Stämman Från Berget ("The Voice from the Mountain"), which is slated for release on the 5th of November via Trollmusic.
"While reading the first chapters of Friedrich Nietzsche's 'Also Sprach Zarathustra', I found myself fascinated with the romantic setting of a hermit living on a mountain for ten years", philosophises drummer, vocalist, and lyricist Vafthrudner. "With only a serpent and an eagle - which are symbolically quite interesting animals by the way - as friends, the hermit strives to find illumination. Once he reaches enlightenment, the hermit descends from the mountain to the next village to pronounce a simple yet profoundly provocative truth: 'Gott ist tot' – God is dead. As this album starts with a song about the desperation of losing one's God or indeed, the loneliness of existence, this track closes a circle. We have reached the same conclusion as Zarathustra: God is dead. Therefore Emptiness rules again and it is up to ourselves, not to find, but to give meaning to our lives."
Fornhem are living proof that the dark underground in Norrköping at the centre of Sweden's historic province of Östergötland, which has spawned such groundbreaking acts as Marduk and Ofermod, is still fertile.
