Norwegens Progressive Metal Unit ENSLAVED stellt ihre Kollaboration mit einem der Ältesten aus der Blackfoot Nation vor, der den eigentümlich wirkenden Namen Kevin Kicking Woman trägt. Entsprechend sind nicht nur metallische Klänge in der neuen Single vorhanden, sondern auch typische Klänge der indigenen US Bevölkerung, im heutigen Montana.
Kevin Kicking Woman erklärt
“Songs are the Blackfoot way of knowing. Expressing relationship and responsibility, belonging and accountability. The purpose of this song is having the performative expression giving meaning to life. Connecting to the universes through the cosmos, earth beings, water beings and spirit beings. Spirit helper is the physical documentation in this process.”
ESCLAVEDs Ivar Bjørnson fügt hinzu:
’Spirit Helper’ began taking shape long before the song itself existed. Its origins lie in years of conversations, festivals, travel, and shared experiences that gradually connected people, traditions, landscapes, and communities.“
