German mystical black metal project Liljevars Brann will release its debut full-length, Helja Kor, on 27 September via Octopus Rising.
The band has also served its second single, "Brannstjerningen", and states: "We have chosen 'Brannstjerningen' as the second single because it takes the listener very deep into our doomish and folkloristic sound. The melodies are creating this kind of enchanting ambience you can discover on each Liljevars Brann song".
Liljevars Brann, in partnership with Octopus Rising, promises to ignite the metal scene with their unparalleled sonic adventure, Helja Kor. Prepare to be enthralled by its mystical black metal prowess.
Emerging from the void, Liljevars Brann is the brainchild of vocalist and composer Sjelvindur, alongside the accomplished drummer Kristjan. The two longstanding comrades have a history of crafting extreme music spanning decades but have united to form this nature-inspired, mystical black metal project in early 2021.
Liljevars Brann's musical voyage draws inspiration from the spiritual potency of early visionaries like Ulver, The Third And The Mortal and the Swedish prog rock legends Landberk.
Helja Kor, a remarkable creation composed and recorded within a mere eight weeks in the spring of 2021, weaves a tapestry of an unfamiliar language, its meaning unfurling through pure sound, adding an enigmatic allure.
Helja Kor is a grandiose odyssey comprising five expansive tracks and a runtime exceeding 50 minutes. It traverses through realms of dark acoustic folk, ethereal chants, intense and fierce vocal expressions, and black metal grandeur, perpetually infused with melodic brilliance. Link
