Helheim (NOR) – Av norrøn ætt
NORDIC METAL
Av Norrøn Ætt, HELHEIM`s second album released in 1997 basically continues where the band left off with their predecessor. All the elements present on Jormundgand are part of their sound again – only intensified and more proficient. Thus, Av Norrøn Ætt features more chaotic Black Metal, more pronounced folk and Viking influences, and an even grander epic scope. Only the high-pitched screaming vocals are gone and have been replaced by grim croaking. The album is intense and ambitious, with long, complex tracks that showcase intricate arrangements. Its title track especially stands out as a fusion of Black Metal, Viking music, and even prog-rock influences. Often compared to early ENSLAVED, particularly their Eld album from the same year, Av Norrøn Ætt represents a peak of creativity for HELHEIM. It remains their most ambitious work and a unique, unmatched moment in their discography. Av Norrøn Ætt truly ranks among the masterpieces of Norwegian Black Metal.
Remastered by Patrick W. Engel at Temple of Disharmony.
A long and detailed new interview about the time from 1992-1997 was conducted with the band exclusively for these current reissues.
The jewel-case CD comes with a 28-page booklet including the interview and many never before-seen pictures.
Also available as LP in two colors with 24-page booklet + A2 poster and digital.
A shirt and high quality ZIP-hoodie is also available.
