Metal Monday CXI - Rovdjur

4/23/2018

From the howling, cold expanse of the north there echoes a sound, the distant wail of wolves. Hermodr returns to these hallowed halls with Rovdjur, an EP I have long been wanting to present. With its ominous and haunting beginning, this eighteen minute masterpiece exudes raw and wild energy, cascading down with a thunderous presence. It is a week to honor the ancients, the old ones, to look beyond the trappings of steel and suburbia, to unleash ones inner animal and run mad through the brush and the bristles. Hermodr stirs that sprit deep within that wishes to be free and longs to stride unhindered and unbridled. Unburden yourself at least once this week and look upon the land and sky, escape the grasp of the world.

THE MAD BARRON

QUOTES I ADMIRE
"A wilderness, in contrast with those areas where man and his own works dominate the landscape, is an area where the earth and its community of life are untrammeled by man, where man himself is a visitor who does not remain." - from the Wilderness Act, 1964

"I owe my solitude to other people." - ALAN WATTS

“I think I could turn and live with the animals, they are so placid and self contained;
I stand and look at them long and long.
They do not sweat and whine about their condition;
They do not lie awake in the dark and weep for their sins;
They do not make me sick discussing their duty to God;
Not one is dissatisfied-not one is demented with the mania of owning things;
Not one kneels to another, nor his kind that lived thousands of years ago;
Not one is responsible or industrious over the whole earth.”
― Walt Whitman

"In the ancient world, people placed heavy stones on the graves of the dead so their souls would not wander and inflict the living. I always thought this was simply the practice of superstitious and primitive people. But I was about to learn that the dead can hover on the edge of our vision with the density and luminosity of mist, and their claim on the earth can be as legitimate and tenacious as our own."

- Dave Robicheaux (In The Electric Mist With Confederate Dead)
