Skuld by Nornír
"Skuld" is the band's highly anticipated second full length, and the culmination of the Three Nornes trilogy.
The album continues in the tradition of "Verdandi", with classic, raw yet melodic Norwegian Black Metal interspersed with the occasional Norwegian Folk parts, and even sees the band perform a cover of Wardruna’s “Helvegen” as if it belonged right on this album.
“Skuld” marks the third and final chapter in Nornír’s trilogy of “de tre nornene” (“The Three Nornes”) of Norwegian mythology, whereby Skuld stands for the future, or that which shall be. Thus, the overarching theme of the album is the passing away of all life, described from several viewpoints in the different songs, which ultimately culminates in this world's impending downfall.
During their nine years of existence the band has developed into one of the leading underground Black Metal forces in Germany, and their new album showcases the growth in songwriting and musicianship that Nornír gained during their countless jaw-dropping live performances in the past years.
