Draugurinn - Myrkraverk (CD)

With the forces of fire and ice - darkness and light DRAUGURINN summons us to bear witness to her second creation Myrkraverk. It is a ritualistic work of art, derived from the ancient pulse of Icelandic traditions and lore, each song a sacrifice to the elements of nature and the powers that dwells therein. With drums and runes, melody and chants she explores something that lies hidden, a world or a state of mind we do not often get to travel to. Myrkraverk possesses you with a hypnotic calm and leaves you with the question of what might be out there, within, underneath and above.

Shamanic and ritualistic music from Sweden.
Dark, sacral, nature, emotions,feelings... Myrkraverk is a solid ritual ambient album that goes far in creating that thick atmosphere that more or less drags you in all by its own. For meditation and especially those into a more shamanic school of thought this album have some golden tracks. Highly recommended Myrkraverk to seekers of a more spiritual path and daddlers into the pagan mysteries of old, and it should appeal to individuals into Asatru as well.
