‘Blodsdåd och hor,’ which translates to bloodshed and whoredom, is the third installment in the JORDFÄST saga and the darkest chapter thus far. Bellowed by the winds from the past, it is forged with steel and blood in a furnace built by Scandinavian rock. The lyrical themes and musical compositions bond together, forming a strong and durable alloy. Under the unyielding strokes of hammers, the characteristic JORDFÄST soundscape has been hardened, and the melodies have been thoroughly honed by melancholia to deep-cutting perfection.
“Ett altare av skarvar” (An altar of shards) combines fragments from Völuspá with imagery of violent manipulation and mental torture to explore the everlasting desire in humans to make sense of their existence. “Dit gudarna trälar är” (Where the gods are thralls) journeys through centuries of Swedish history, shaped by the steel and iron industry and defined by relentless warfare.
