Sweden-based dark and doomy project with Nordic folk influences, Dun Ringill, has signed with The Sign Records for the release of its upcoming double concept album Where The Old Gods Play Act 1 & 2.
Formed in 2017 by current and former members of various groups, including The Order Of Israfel and Doomdogs, this Swedish six-piece has developed its very own sound, where Nordic folk, doom and progressive metal meet mystical storytelling lyrics. Dun Ringill's double concept album will be released as two separate albums in 2023 and 2024, respectively. The first single, "Awakening", is already available on all streaming platforms and in the player below.
Dun Ringill on "Awakening": "This opening song from our album starts off with the sound of the waves breaking against the shore with distant bagpipes being heard before the heavy folky-doom takes the listener on a menacing dance between light and darkness. The bruised and scarred Lucia (the main character of this concept album), has just woken up on the seashore to start her unpredictable journey… The storyline is set in 1904 on the Isle of Skye in Scotland, where Lucia, with low self-esteem from her troubled past, meets a local church group which is led by a strong, charismatic and manipulative individual. The music of the album carefully reflects the main story which unfolds. Behind the dramatic backdrop of the Scottish highlands, we follow Lucia's dark inner journey, which will form her personality and mind, leading to her Awakening". Link
