Nordvargr is back with a new post-industrial/blackened-ambient album, on Malignant Records. Malignant says about The Secret Barbarous Names: "A vocal based work inspired by the Draconian and Typhonian traditions, the title refers to the hidden meanings of the countless manuscripts that have been kept secret for millennia - their supposed effectiveness resting in their utterance, not their meaning. The words of power, vibrated at the correct frequency and amplitude in the correct setting and time, have the power to manifest anything. As such, these are an incredibly haunting and formidable invocations, built upon richly timbered, incantatory vocals and deep, liturgical chants, and occasionally augmented by ominous orchestral swell and ritual percussion. All of it is endlessly stretched out into lightless passages of primordial malevolence and suffocating dread, completing an album that will stand out as a highlight, even within such a lofty and illustrious discography as that of Nordvargr. Lavishly packaged in a digipak designed by Margaux Renaudin of Anima Nostra." The Secret Barbarous Names releases on 20 January 2017. Link.
