Ár var alda þar er Ýmir bygði
Vara sandr né sær né svalar unnir
Jörð fannsk æva né upphiminn
Gap var ginnunga, en gras hvergi
Sól varp sunnan, sinni mána
Hendi inni hœgri um himinjódyr
Sól þat ne vissi hvar hon sali átti
Máni þat ne vissi hvat hann megins átti
Stjörnur þat ne vissu hvar þær staði áttu
-
Of old was the age, when Ymir lived
Sea nor cool waves, nor sand there were
Earth had not been, nor heaven above
But a yawning gap, and grass nowhere
The sun, the sister of the moon, from the south
Her right hand cast over heaven's rim
No knowledge she had where her home should be
The moon knew not what might was his
The stars knew not where their stations were

Meyjar flugu sunnan,
Myrkviðr í gögnum,
Alvitr unga, örlög drýgja;
En einn Völundr sat í Ulfdölum,
Svá beið hann sinnar ljóssar kvánar

Maids from the south,
Through Myrkwood flew,
Fair and young, their fate to follow
But Völundr alone stayed in Ulfdölum,
So he waited for his shining wife

Ek sá Baldri, blóðgum tívur
Óðins barni, örlög folgin
Stóð of vaxinn völlum hæri
Mjór ok mjök fagr mistilteinn
Fagr mistilteinn
Blóðgum tívur, blóðgum tívur
örlög folgin, örlög folgin

I saw Baldr, the bleeding god
The son of Odinn, his destiny set
Famous and fair, in the lofty fields
Full grown in strength, the mistletoe stood
The mistletoe stood
The bleeding god, the bleeding god
His destiny set, his destiny set

On all sides I saw Valkyries assemble
Ready to ride to the ranks of the gods
Skuld bore the shield and Skogul rode next
Gunnr, Hildr, Gondul and Geirskogul
For they are named Herjan's maidens
Valkyries ready to ride over the earth

Deep Dark Germanic Folk. Such in love with your work. Perfect feeling for moving through Landscapes or for Dancing. Feeling the ancestors, pray with them and stay in ecstatic states. Love dark atmosphere surrounded with hopeful melodies. Through the dark comes Light. Never forget the Balance of both. Love you All

From the Wild
by Ariana Saraha & Flight Behavior
Recalling the same gothic wonder as early Dead Can Dance, the latest from Ariana Saraha is a drift through an enchanted dreamworld.

This might be my favourite of Heilung. They've improved a bit on their later releases but their debut is still much meaner, and darker. Maria's amazing voice obviously steals the show but I also quite like Kai's too, especially on the live performance. In fact I'd say get LIFA over this IMO. The spoken word bits are really cool to hear proto-germanic in use but for relistening purposes they are going to be a bit obtrusive. Nevertheless the proper music here is on continual repeat for me.
