lyrics
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
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

Stare Into Death And Be Still
by Ulceratesupported by 120 fans who also own “Ábær”
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.

The metal’s band revelatory new record crosses genres and styles, effortlessly combining seemingly incompatible subgenres.

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
