Update time ;)

Aethyrien:
I am working on releasing a very short (but insanely brutal) track for Aethyrien called 'Modern Viking' hopefully as early as next week. I have plans on making an extended version of this track, but for now you get the "Story Version". I have also finished a track that will be called "Hel's Embrace" that will pair with the 6th chapter of a saga I have written called "Helsa's Saga". I am debating releasing this without context, as well as future songs related to Helsa's story. I may say fuck it and just release them as I finish them.

Helsa's Saga:
The short 9-chapter saga is 90% complete. The saga takes place just before the start of Ragnarök and explains the moments leading up to it and what "caused" it since Norse lore doesn't exactly go into detail (like how did Fenrir's chains break?). The goal is to officially release this as an audiobook of sorts, but I need to figure out narration. Ideally this audiobook will also be released with a 9-song album. More info to come on this though.

Æthyrien X:
I have also completed a track for Æthyrien X that captures the emotional moment Odin has been hanging from the Tree of Yggdrasil after 9 long nights, but it is sung from the perspective of Huginn, one of his ravens. The song is called "Gefinn Óðni (Odin's Sacrifice)". Additionally, I will soon be releasing another song called "Eldr ok Járn (Ov Fire and Iron)" which is essentially a Blacksmith's prayer/chant sung in Old Norse. I am working on the atmosphere and sound effects that will accompany the chant.

Lastly, it feels good to be back in my creative space. I still very much love and miss my now-ex girlfriend and everything we were building, so my sacrifice was not easy. But I need to drown in my work. I have so many things in my head that if left in for too long it will drive me fucking insane. I bleed creation. It is who I am and what I do.

I have missed you all <3
