Icelandic black metal formation AUÐN are now releasing a brand new video for the song ‘Vökudraumsins fangi’. The clip contains stunning historic images of the band’s native Iceland, provided by the National Film Archive of Iceland // Kvikmyndasafn Íslands. The video was edited by Andri Björn Birgisson.

AUÐN comment: “”Vökudraumsins fangi” is the title song of our new album and deals with what we perceive to be real until our minds decide otherwise. Waking up in another time, feeling someone else’s presence within your being with memories foreign to you, feeling trapped in a perpetual nightmare, you begin to wonder if the life you believe you’ve led even existed at all.”

The band’s third full-length record was released on October 30th, 2020. Listen to the album here or order a copy in the Season of Mist shop.

AUÐN And SÓLSTAFIR Nominated For Icelandic Music Awards 2021

Black metal formation AUÐN and atmospheric rock titans SÓLSTAFIR have each earned coveted nominations during the 2021 the Icelandic Music Awards!

AUÐN‘s ‘Vökudraumsins fangi’ and SÓLSTAFIR‘s ‘Endless Twilight of Codependent Love’ have both been nominated in the category for Rock Album of the Year!

In addition, AUÐN scored a second nomination for the single “Eldborg” in the Rock Song of the Year category! The song can be heard HERE.

The winners will be announced on April 14. For more information on the Icelandic Music Awards, visit the website here.

Iceland’s AUĐN embraces their environment, capturing the loneliness and beauty of the barren breadths of icy, volcanic soil that defines the desolate landscape of their homeland. ‘Vökudraumsins fangi’ translates to “prisoner of the daydream,” referring to a perpetual state of delusion and the belief in a manufactured reality that never actually existed. The six piece’s distinguished brand of black metal captures an atmosphere of elegant darkness and spectacular melodies, and ‘Vökudraumsins fangi’ delivers a polished and contemporary side of the genre.

Stream, download, or order ‘Vökudraumsins fangi’ HERE.

SÓLSTAFIR’s music penetrates the mind, body, and soul. One does not need to speak their Icelandic tongue to understand the spectrum of raw emotion evoked by every song. ‘Endless Twilight of Codependent Love’ further solidifies the Icelandic rock giants’ place as masters of their craft, delivering their signature elegance and the unbridled passion upon which they’ve built their career. While a clear evolution, SÓLSTAFIR also pays homage to their metallic roots. Much like the vast expanse of their homeland, the band once again embodies the ever-turning wheel of the four seasons with their shifting light and darkness.Stream, download, or order ‘Endless Twilight of Codependent Love’ HERE.

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.

The cover artwork of ‘Vökudraumsins fangi’ was created by Mýrmann.

Tracklist
1. Einn um alla tíð (08:15)

3. Birtan hugann brennir (05:33)
4. Verður von að bráð (05:50)
5. Drepsótt (03:16)
6. Næðir um (05:03)
7. Horfin mér (06:42)
8. Á himin stara (03:47)
9. Ljóstýra (05:54)
10. Vökudraumsins fangi (06:43)

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.'”

Pre-orders are now live in the Season of Mist shop HERE.
