VOODUS DOMGÅRD
Ginnungagap / Ljungeld över människan

Featuring six songs and 33 minutes of exclusive material, this special split album brings together two of Swedish black metal’s most elite names. VOODUS have been on a tear since their formation in 2015, releasing their massively acclaimed Into the Wild debut LP in 2018 through SHADOW as well as three EPs, with last year’s two-song/24-minute Open the Otherness displaying the band’s increasingly epic vision. Here with Ginnungagap, their half of the split, VOODUS continue to explore that epic vision with two mind-expanding songs combining for 17 minutes of obsidian majesty and malevolence: truly, this horde is on the rise. DOMGÅRD, by comparison, are veterans of the scene, forming in 1997 but delivering their debut album in 2010. However, from there, the band have released a steady stream of albums which retain an authentically late ‘90s vintage; oft unheralded, DOMGÅRD continue to create black metal of a superlative degree. With their half, Ljungeld Över Människan, DOMGÅRD present four tracks which ever so subtly expand upon their characteristic sound – searing execution stacked against sweeping dynamics, fog-choked atmosphere revealing bewitching melodicism – all of which further underline the band’s status as Sweden’s standard-bearers of vivid classicism.

With the CD version presenting both halves on their own disc, revel in the past NOW with VOODUS and DOMGÅRD’s respective Ginnungagap and Ljungeld Över Människan!
