Icelandic Pagan Black Metal act FORTÍÐ, has released an official lyric video for “Fimbulvetur”. The track is taken from the band’s upcoming EP “Dómur Um Dauðan Hvern” (Judgement Of Everyone Dead), due for release on November 18th via Prophecy Productions.
The radio single “Fimbulvetur” (The Great Winter) is named after one of the eschatological events of Norse myth, which are leading to Ragnarök, i.e. the end of the gods and the world in fire.
FORTÍÐ mastermind Einar Eldur Thorberg, explains on the song: “The first track of the EP, ‘Fimbulvetur’ tells about a time in the past when the eruption of a volcano blocked the sun for some years, killing crops and livestock, which left people starving and murdering each other for every little scrap that they had left to eat. It’s about people, who worshipped the sun and had lost their faith, thinking that their god was either dead or had abandoned them.”
