about

"Fjeldslåtten" merges the raw power of black metal with the rhythmic and melodic intricacies of Norwegian folk music. Featuring the bukkehorn, Norway's oldest instrument, our track connects with the roots of Norse culture. The nature sounds in the intro were captured at the mountain farm, Tverrbekkli, in Nordland. The song's lyrical theme, celebrates the resilience and simplicity of the mountain farm life of our ancestors. Skål 🍻

lyrics

Og kjerringa sa
Det var jo så trist med ho Ane, æ må jo kondolere

Gubben sa
Ja, har du sett? Tenk å legg seg ned og døy, midt i slåttonna

En vitlaus mann fyller løen sist
Som legdslem går fra gård til gård

Så grip ljå,slå, brei og kå
før vinterens marsj, til seters etter slåttonna

Så skål for de daude, for deres minne
og siste sjau på fjellet

Fattig er den som ikke gjør,
men se rikt sinn hos den som blør
Så ha vett, tro, kraft og træl

Mot straumen de gikk
til siste vers i fjeldslåtten

Så skål for de daude, for deres minne
og siste sjau på fjellet

**
Í vindi skal við hǫggva
veðri á sjó róa
myrkri við man spjalla
við eld skal ǫl drekka
**
Skál
