Sundrung

Old Icelandic for “discord, disharmony, and the sundering of the social and cosmic fabric”; Sundrung is an act of rebirth through the cycle of destruction.
The album is a journey through unrelenting & ritualistic blackened death metal with a fiercely intellectual focus on Nordic mythology that defies the expected tropes in favor of a deeper exploration of ancient mysticism  

The second, firmament-storming album, from Icelandic black metallers Nexion, begins with a curse – a prophetic vision found on ancient rune stones against those who defile sacred spaces. Chanted during the surging, acrid tides and wildly scything riffs of the opening song, Uþarpaspa, it’s both an incantation and a judgement passed for a world that’s gone beyond a point of no return, where mass extinction events, voracious consumption, ideological extremism and the dehumanising march of technology are ripping apart the social and cosmic fabric on which we depend. If existence is at the brink, the only way forward is to push it to the other side.

Pressed on white vinyl with brown splatter in a gatefold which features spot varnish detailing of an ornate knotwork border.
