Arð reveals an animated clip of the title track from the debut album Take Up My Bones as the last single before the full-length hits the streets on 18 February. The Northumbrian doom act presents an animated clip based on the album's great artwork by Gabriel Danilchik. All details of Arð's first full-length can be viewed below, also the "Take Up My Bones" video.
"My musical ideas are always what come first", tells musical and lyrical mastermind Mark Deeks. "I find the writing of lyrics sometimes challenging, and I always find it easier, if I have a story that I want to tell. I am fascinated by music that in some way represents where it's from. I therefore wanted the Arð album to tell a tale from the old kingdom of Northumbria that existed in the place that I call home. When researching the idea of using the story of what happened to St. Cuthbert's remains, I found that he allegedly gave quite specific instructions regarding what to do to his followers before his actual death. This was such a doom concept to me that it proved impossible to resist. Cuthbert is supposed to have said: 'I would rather that you should take up my bones and leave these places'. I loved the idea that his followers felt they were being blessed to protect his bones, but were actually being doomed to many years of trudging around the kingdom, while the legends and myths of the miraculous powers of the saint's relics continued to grow over time. This set the tone for the whole album." Link
