Icelandic pagan/black metal trio Fortíð has unveiled the second track and lyric video, "Fimbulvetur" (The Great Winter), of the upcoming EP, Dómur um dauðan hvern (Judgement of Everyone Dead), slated for release on 18 November.
"Fimbulvetur" is named after one of the eschatological events of Norse myth, which are leading to Ragnarök, i.e. the end of the gods and the world in fire.
The Fortíð's mastermind, Einar Eldur Thorberg, comments: "The first track of the EP, 'Fimbulvetur' tells about a time in the past when the eruption of a volcano blocked the sun for some years, killing crops and livestock, which left people starving and murdering each other for every little scrap that they had left to eat. It's about people, who worshipped the sun and had lost their faith, thinking that their god was either dead or had abandoned them".
