Plodding and pummeling. Brilliant interplay of vocal styles.
Favorite track: Ábær.

Brilliant release! Hamferð gets a step closer to a Barren Earth-feel here, being a bit less doomy and crushing than also excellent Támsins likam was before. As always with Jon Aldaras bands, I love the vocals! One of the very best albums in 2024 so far.

Doom that manages to retain its “crushingness” even with a good dose of soaring clean vocals from the Iotunn guy. How could I not like that?

Ábær
Horvna eimin í mær
Átti tú, bert og altíð tú
Tað var tá, mítt blóð
Ja, tað var tá eg livdi
Mín sál fyri vág og vind
Fyri miskunn varganna
Tykist sum ein øld
Ið krýpur so æviga køld
Um øll heimins mykja
Stendur til at loypa
Um mína skirvisgirðing
Ongin fyrigeving
Svárt syngur ein bløðandi hevd
Stendur mær tvør
Hon vinnur so dánt við sítt flog
Og aldri nemur við jørð
Ein bylgja slær meint á mítt borð
Lívlínan fløkt
Veikt stórlætið logar í lógv
Síðan í alla tíð sløkt
Feigdin kom mær til góðar
Nú ill eru ráðini
Ábær, ábær
Ber sál fyri brotasjógv
Ábær
Translation:
To the Storm
The faded fire in me
Was yours, only and always yours
It was then, my blood
Yes, it was then that I lived
My soul to the elements
To the mercy of beasts
Seems like an age
Which slithers eternally cold
If all the dung of the world
Stands to collapse
Across my frail enclosure
No forgiveness is granted
A bleeding claim laments
Stands in my way
It ascends and barely takes flight
Never returns to the ground
A vicious breaker hits my bough
My lifeline tangled
On the shore my pride dimly flickers
Then extinguished forever
Doom came to my aid
Now there is no further resort
To the storm, to the storm
Soul bared to the churning seas
To the storm

Hvølja
Guð
O Guð
Himinin er hvølja
Fjørðurin kjaftur
Etist mín verð
Guð brotnar
Hvøljan skrædnar
Í svartar veingir
Hevjast og fjatla
Fjóna mannalív
Bøn í ótíð
Til baldrandi brot
Um tú nakran taka skal
Tak tá meg
Kveistri burt klórandi skvatl
Slíti mót landi uttan flot
Ond undan sjónum at svølgja
Gresjandi stokkar
Førini eitt og eitt undir skugga
Translation:
Whaleskin
God
Dear God
The heavens are whaleskin
The fjord a gaping maw
My world is consumed
God disintegrates
The whaleskin rips
Into black wings
That rise and flutter
Disregard the lives of men
Prayer out of time
To the roaring waves
If you are to take anyone
Take me
Brushing off the scratching laps
Struggling to reach land with no float
To swallow the breath from beneath the sea
The crunching gunwales
The vessels - one by one - under the shadow

Blackbraid quickly followed up their 2022 debut in 2023 with more native folk infused furious black metal. This is by no means a sophomore slump as it is equally excellent, methodical, melodical, and approachable as the first record. 9/10

Stare Into Death And Be Still
by Ulceratesupported by 118 fans who also own “Men Guðs hond er sterk”
The album description mentions an “emotional apex.” That’s really the difference between Stare and the band’s previous albums. Ulcerate was always supremely technically proficient. I just didn’t care all that much. Their growth has come from making music you will feel.
