The viking metal skald, Burden of Ymir, has returned with a renewed sense of ferocity and a tale of myth, magick, and struggle on the epic sixth full-length album, The Long Winter.
"First of that a winter will come...Then snow will drift from all directions. There will be great frosts and keen winds. The sun will do no good. There will be three of these winters together and no summer between."
This is the tale of Gudrun, a völva, who lives in a time of piercing cold. She learns of the impending Fimbulvetr to come before Ragnarök. Although she first seeks to stop the long winter, she eventually sees the futility of such an endeavour as even the gods cannot fight the inevitable. However, she understands that from an end a new beginning will spring forth and hope will be renewed. She falls into a frozen slumber amidst the bitter cold of Fimbulvetr to rest forever in ice.
