Nebala, a solo project by The Northman songwriter and actor, and former Heilung singer Jonas Lorentzen releases the new single and video "Ant Mér Sjalfri Þér". The track is from the upcoming debut album, Lustuz Laþu Wōþuz Alu, which will be released on the 29th of July via By Norse Music.
After being involved with Heilung for two years, and more recently with the worldwide-acclaimed movie The Northman as songwriter and actor, Jonas Lorentzen decided to focus on his own musical expression, based on a reimagination of Nordic Folk and spiritually driven music. The result is Nebala.
"Ant Mér Sjalfri Þér" is a song about unfulfilled love, desire and longing consuming us. It refers to the myth in which Wōdan sought the Billingas magwia, the Maiden of the Fleeting Moment. In this myth, love and desire are ripped away from the ones who have let themselves be consumed. The artist also releases a new video, a short film in which the songs "Ant Mér Sjalfri Þér" and " Laþu" merge to create "The Eternal Child".
Jonas Lorentzen comments: "This is the entire art film as we originally intended. A story about a man trying to come to grips with his own demons and desires. Inspired by mythology and Jungian archetypes."
The album invites the listeners to dive into Old Norse Mythology. Nebala in Proto-Germanic means "the void"; the void through which all life originates. Sexuality is the essence of all life forms. Through this album, Nebala initiates sexuality into a space of sacredness. The title Lustuz Laþu Wōþuz Alu alludes to three stages of sexuality, fertility and love.
