lyrics

Blood, War

Absolute Fury


shield covered in gold and ancient runes
He ripped the shield out from the man's chest,
The sky turned into rain

There was just one man left in the army who hadn't been
wounded

Stood there in boldness, new sword, unable
to move at the look of such a terrible display

Havamal 75 and 76

one man is rich,
another poor;
he must not blame his woe on him

Cattle die, kinsmen die, you yourself die;
One thing now that never dies
the fame of a dead man’s deeds.

about

Herknungr Broadstairs, UK

Herknungr is a project that explores ancient
culture but primarily norse aspects. It was
formed over a love of ambient music, ritual
and folk music.

The aim of Herknungr is to provide a very rich
sound in coherence to viking era culture. To set
an authentic sound of the ancient nordic zeigeist.
Using instruments of our forebears over 1000 years
ago. With a modern twist in production.
