Piąty album SEID za miesiąc

 

On October 18th internationally, De Tenebrarum Principio - a division of ATMF - is proud to present the highly anticipated fifth album of Sweden's Seid, Hymns to the Norse.

Hymns to the Norse - the new album from Seid, active since 2009 and purveyors of proud pagan black metal in the ancient tradition - takes great inspiration from the old folk music of the Scandinavian region. In many ways, this album is more of a concept album than 2022's preceding Svart Sól was. The sejd drum intro "Hymn To Ivar" opens it up in an even-more-traditional fashion, but then you get brass sections and the sound develops more and more throughout the album towards something more recognizably black metal. "Hymn to the North" closes the album, referring to the fact that all the songs you just heard were hymns: previously untold but, in our common ancestry, deeply buried.

With Seid's raw, lo-fi sound, eerie vocals, sejd drum, Hammond organs, and haunting atmospheres, this album pushes the boundaries of black metal while exploring the Norse roots. Hymns to the Norse takes you to the past…and brings the past into you.

In the meantime, hear the brand-new track "My Kingdom Rise" HERE at ATMF's Bandcamp. North American preorder info can be found HERE; European preorder info can be found HERE. Cover artwork, courtesy of Frank Dicksee (1873), and tracklisting are as follows:
