Icelandic black metal formation AUÐN has released  “Verður von að bráð,” the third and final single from their upcoming full-length, ‘Vökudraumsins fangi.’ The song can be found along with a visualizer, which was created by Andri Björn Birgisson, at THIS LOCATION.

AUÐN comments on the track: “We present to you the third single from our upcoming album, ‘Vökudraumsins fangi.’ In these premieres, we wanted to showcase as many different elements as possible. This song in some ways treads uncharted  territory for us as we welcome the more catchy, driven aspects of heavy music into our world of melancholy and grief ridden soundscapes. ‘Verður von að bráð’ is an unforgiving journey into the vast frozen wastes of the unknown and the euphoric feeling when the cold takes a hold of you when you’ve reached the point of no return, when you forsake all logic and give into the welcoming embrace of death.”

‘Vökudraumsins fangi’ is due on October 30. Pre-orders are now live in the Season of Mist shop HERE.

Icelandic black metal formation AUÐN has shared the official music video for their brand new single,”Ljóstýra!” The song is taken from the band’s upcoming full-length, ‘Vökudraumsins fangi,’ which is due on October 30. The video, which was created by Aimed and Framed, can be seen at THIS LOCATION.

AUÐN comments on the track: “‘Ljóstýra,’ meaning ‘Faint light,’ is a metaphor for loneliness and the never ending jaded grind our world is spiraling towards, we hope for brighter days that never seem to materialize. Set in a frozen waste (Auðn) a shimmer of light flickers in the distance in an old house. This faint light represents the hope of change, that the seasons will return and this perpetual darkness and cold will cease. As the years go by you grow bitter and cold like the world you are forced to inhabit, the feeling that the world will get brighter ever fading into memory. When darkness falls and all hope seems gone the faint candle light brings solace and for a brief moment the world feels bright again.This is ‘Ljóstýra.'”
