Vökudraumsins Fangi

Description

First pressing on black double vinyl
Black double vinyl, 12" (33 rpm), in Gatefold version with printed inner sleeves. First pressing limited to 770 copies.
As the country's vibrant black metal scene has proven, Iceland can be as beautiful as it is grim, where furious elements rage, teaching fear but also inspiring human creativity. Focusing on melodies over dissonance and approaching their music from a dramatic and classic black metal angle, AUÐN delivers another fascinating work of art with "Vökudraumsins fangi."
This album explores new soundscapes and pushes their music to new heights, further setting them apart from their Icelandic contemporaries. The six artists draw inspiration from their natural surroundings while opening their minds to new horizons. The album title literally translates to "prisoner of the dream state," but rather refers to a perpetual state of illusion, of a life that never was.
Join AUÐN as they traverse the blurred lines between otherworldly supernatural landscapes and the reality of their native Iceland.
