Nyrst - Vold (CD)

From the depth of Reykjavik NYRST has forged a new blackened creation by the name Völd, an album that pays homage to the immense volcanoes of Iceland. With Völd which roughly translates to Force, power or might, NYRST conjures forth music with the unrelenting and unforgiving harshness that the forces of nature have wrought upon every living being in their land through the ages. Written and rehearsed only a few kilometers from a lava spewing active volcano, they sought inspiration in the beauty and perilousness danger of the stark and chaotic surroundings, wishing to portray their material accordingly.
