CD

With Ørlog, SKÁLD bring ancient Nordic traditions back to life through ten compositions inspired by skaldic poetry and Norse mythology. The French trio creates an immersive and atmospheric form of folk music using Nordic fiddles, harps, lyres, horns, flutes and various traditional instruments, complemented by three lead vocalists and elaborate vocal arrangements.

The album explores shamanic prophecies, mythological figures and ancestral tales, moving between solemn passages and more delicate melodies before reaching the ominous atmosphere of its finale. Ørlog thus becomes a journey through memory, fate and origins.

Solaris marks the beginning of a new chapter for The Ocean, who, following major changes in their lineup, rediscover their signature atmospheric post-metal sound through a new combination of musicians and creative sensibilities. The Berlin-based band’s twelfth album draws inspiration from Andrei Tarkovsky’s film Solaris and accounts of great expeditions, transforming the journey into the unknown into a reflection on humanity’s desire to explore, conquer, and push beyond its own limits.

Recorded at Berlin’s legendary Hansa Studios, the compositions combine the band’s familiar heaviness with piano, celesta, Hammond organ and synthesizers, resulting in a broad, organic sound.
