Skuggsjá - Ivar Bjørnson & Einar Selvik's Band Debuts Song
Here is a new song from Skuggsjá's debut album! The band features Enslaved guitarist/singer Ivar Bjørnson Peersen and drummer as well as Wardruna mainman Einar Selvik and their forthcoming debut full-length A Piece For Mind & Mirror, is due out on March 11th via Season Of Mist. But what does it sound like? The track "Kvervandi" is available here. You can hear it and tell us if you like it.
Artwork by Costin Chioreanu
Regarding "Kvervandi", Einar "Kvitrafn" Selvik comments on behalf of the band: "The word 'Kvervandi' means 'turning' or 'whirling' and is lyric-wise rather playfully displaying the various cycles of nature and of life from a Norse perspective. The song itself is heavy, slow moving, emotional and uncompromising just like the turning wheels of nature."
Here is another new song, for another example of their material:

"Artwork by Costin Chioreanu" It's hard to mistake Costin's style, but then again, if I were to guess Costin was responsible for the artwork of any recent major release, without having seen it, the odds would be in my favor.

I've grown Viskispá on me with ease, so I can't wait for how the full-length material will pen out.

Hmm didn't know what to expect so I listened to this track and I cannot hear anything heavy here... Sounds like some old religious chants to me in other words nothing too exciting.

Pretty much just sounds like a bit of a metallized version of Wardruna, really. I don't hear much Enslaved in the sound here, but then, I wasn't exactly expecting to, as they made it pretty clear that this project would be tilted heavily towards the more folk side of things.

As someone who loves Wardruna, I'm really digging this.
