Die Faröer Inseln sind die Heimat der finsteren Death Doom Unit HAMFERÐ. Von ihrem, am 22. März erscheinenden  vierten Album “Men Guðs Hond Er Sterk” schicken sie die verdammt unfröhliche Single `Hvölja` als ebensolches Video.

Die Band schreibt dazu:

„‚Hvølja‘ is also the darkest and ugliest song we have written to date,“ he continues. „It is a sonic and lyrical representation of the world being violently ripped apart by monstrous currents and consumed by a black sky above.“

Lyrics:

Guð

O Guð

Himinin er hvølja

Fjørðurin kjaftur

Etist mín verð

 

Guð brotnar

Hvøljan skrædnar

Í svartar veingir

Hevjast og fjatla

Fjóna mannalív

 

Bøn í ótíð

Til baldrandi brot

Um tú nakran taka skal

Tak tá meg

 

Kveistri burt klórandi skvatl

Slíti mót landi uttan flot

Ond undan sjónum at svølgja

Gresjandi stokkar

Førini eitt og eitt undir skugga

 

English Translation:

 

God

Dear God

The heavens are whaleskin

The fjord a gaping maw

My world is consumed

 

God disintegrates

The whaleskin rips

Into black wings

That rise and flutter

Disregard the lives of men

 

Prayer out of time

To the roaring waves

If you are to take anyone

Take me

 

Brushing off the scratching laps

Struggling to reach land with no float

To swallow the breath from beneath the sea

The crunching gunwales

The vessels – one by one – under the shadow
