lyrics

þat var morgun þokufullr - þoka á leginum.
Dýr reis ok hafði einn munnr.
Leggir sínir, varu eins stórir ok einn tré.

Haka sín ok hnakkr, var hulin með skegg ok beins.
Klæddisk beinin sín sem gimsteinn.
Löginn var blóði hvenær hann hafði lokit
at drepa hverrgi.

Sagan Ymir

Völuspá 2.

Ek man jötna
ár of borna,
þá er forðum mik
fœdda höfðu;
níu man ek heima,
níu íviði,
mjötvið mœran
fyr mold neðan.


It was a foggy morning - fog upon the sea.
The beast rose and had a big mouth.
His legs, were as thick as a tree.

His chin and neck, was covered in beard and bones.
Wearing bones as jewel.
The sea was blood when he had
finished killing every one.

The Saga of Ymir


Völuspá 2.

I remember Jotnar
early born,
those who in old
foster me have;
nine homes I remember,
nine wooded rooms,
wise tree bright
before ground below.

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. ... more
