• Five Years Ago – A Tribute

    On April 12, 2020, Mattjö’s father passed on to join his ancestors. Just a few months later, on October 13, his birthday, we released the track "Fjörbann (Life-Ban)".

    This song evokes the imagined voices of Viking women, waiting for their husbands to return from distant expeditions — a poetic allegory for life’s journey and the uncertainty of its end.

    Mattjö chose to write the lyrics in English rather than Old Norse, so that everyone could understand them immediately. Using kenningar (Norse poetic metaphors), he crafted this piece as a tribute to his father — a warrior and a poet.

    Here's the decoded text, written in collaboration with Jules Piet:

    Lyrics – "Fjörbann"

    I wish I could ask you to stay
    You always rose the steed of the bay ( ship)
    They long ago crafted your fate
    May the Norns change what’s engraved
    Are you sleeping in the plain of Aegir? ( the ocean floor)
    Or feasting in the hall with the Æsir? ( Valhalla)
    It seems that after the last sword song ( battle)
    You had a final ride to where you belong
    Every night I look to the track of the moon ( sky)
    The swan of blood sings we won’t meet that soon ( raven/crow)
    The weeping of the clouds drowns the rock of fear ( heart)
    The mead of the son of Bur will be poured for heroes here ( Odin’s poetic mead)
    To all those who have lost, who wait, who remember — this song is for you.

  • Short presentation:
    Hi, my name is Thomas.
    I live in Denmark with wife and two kids. Paying the bills with a job as a kindergarten-teacher, while I try making it as author of books for kids age 9-12.
    Sidequests? Making a lot of different kinds of music. Played hard rock and punk in the 00s.

  • Fellow Danes may want to tie a rock to me and throw me in the Sea for giving props to Sweden on languages but I'll say, the limited Danish I did speak growing up of course had all the curse words and naughty words, but with that, I always liked to say the Swedish 'Helveta' instead of the Danish Helvede, because I liked the sharpness of 'Helveta'. Don't hate me guys!
    Haha, Good Morning Folkrealms! :)

  • This year was hard but thrilling and I'm still here
    One gig I played at school in the shelter after being fainted first in my life
    One video I recorded staying on the lake shore during one of the biggest rocket attacks since russian invasion started
    Two music gadgets, which I craved several years, I've bought
    Three splendid musicians, whom I could dream, I've gathered together
    Three sacral places were seen
    Six tracks are on the finish for the new album after three years of solo work
