ODROERIR - Songs of the Gods

ODROERIR - Songs of the Gods

A monumental work has been completed! Scene luminaries and members of renowned Thuringian Pagan Metal bands, MENHIR and XIV DARK CENTURIES, holed up in the studio for a full five months, setting the sacred Edda to music! There is simply no comparison for this exceptional work! Fans of folk and pagan metal will be moved to tears of joy! Enormously atmospheric compositions such as "Weltenanfang" (World's Beginning), "Zwergenschmiede" (Dwarf Forge), and "Skirnirs Fahrt" (Skirnir's Journey) possess a special intensity.
“In the beginning there was no upper sky, no earth below, nor grass anywhere,” so the bards of Odroerir tell us about the beginning of the world, underscoring their interpretation of the pagan texts from the Edda with folk-rock guitar sounds.
Furthermore, authentic instruments were used, resulting in highly melodic compositions with flute, mandolin, shawm, jaw harp, violin, and percussion. Together with the male and female German vocals, this creates exactly what one would expect! With Götterlieder, Odroerir has created a true masterpiece. Such an album, brimming with beauty, is rare, and therefore we can describe Götterlieder as a highly recommended gem of folk music.
