Today, Chaos Records announces
December 10th as the international release date for the striking debut album
of America's Rökkr,
self-titled Rökkr, on CD format.
Rökkr was conceived and
executed in 2011 by Kyle House, who currently maintains Decrepisy and Serpents of Dawn
and previously was a member of Acephalix, Vastum, and Necrot among others.
Heavily influenced by Nordland-era
Bathory, Tolkien, and Thin Lizzy with death-grunts to tell the tale, House here
is joined by Adam Perry of Vastum on drums, and together they recorded Rökkr's self-tilted first album
with Jeff Davis before his tragic and untimely death. Mixing and mastering was
handled by Greg Wilkinson of Earhammer fame.
Massive and majestic in its sound and scope, Rökkr is
a concept album and a soundtrack to a journey deep within the mountain's eye. Rökkr explore the darkest
parts of the psyche and what lives in the shadows in the deep, all through
symbolism and mythology that connects to roots beyond this lifetime and gives a
sense of meaning to the chaos of the endless wheel of birth and death. Beyond
thought, beyond form, endless nothing within: this is Rökkr's titanic debut album,
and vastly more...
Into the winter of the soul.
Into the ice.
Foreverblack meadow, embrace new dawn, on
raven's wing,
Hear winter's song.
