• 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.

  • "I'm a Druid/Mystic, which means I walk a path where the natural world is my teacher, and I seek deep spiritual truths through meditation and ritual. I blend the cycles of nature with mystical exploration, using divination to interpret the signs around me, and I cherish moments of personal revelation or gnosis. My practice involves creating art or poetry as expressions of my spiritual insights, balancing solitude for my mystical journeys with community to share and learn wisdom. I strive to live in harmony with nature while constantly exploring the mysteries beyond the physical, integrating druidic respect for the earth with the mystical quest for inner and universal truths."

  • Doing some finishing touches on the first single of Æthyrien X. While this is using a ton of AI for the foundation, as you can see in the second image, I'm quite literally still composing the song itself. While AI is incredible and has been exponentially advancing, it is still very limited. This first track is about Hermóðr riding to Helheim to free his brother from Hel's domain. I have given personalities to all three in this track, Hermóðr, Baldr and Hel herself. This project is unlike ANYTHING I have ever done so please go into it with an open mind.

    This track in particular is very "theatrical". The next track may not be anything like this song. This is why I am very excited about Æthyrien X. It's freedom. I can literally do anything without limitations. The only code I will follow is providing a fresh perspective on storytelling the Old Norse poetry. <3

    I hope to release this track later today on my new channel:

    Æthyrien X - Ferð Hermóðrs til Heljar (Hermóðr's Journey to Hel)

  • Every time Baldur spawns he's going to go find the Odin rocks and have a cry when he realizes he's Loki standing with Nidhogg (The Dragon, who is Jesus Christ, The Dragon) at the end of Ragnarok and therefore also Odin who was then Baldur in Poetry, while also being Jormungandr, because there is not two dragons; and we are now looking at a biography we cant put together all the way but it's definitely the orb and the dragon.
