Das neue Album der norwegischen HELHEIM trägt den Titel „raunijaR“ und wird am 04. Dezember 2015 über Dark Essence Records veröffentlicht. Musikalisch bildet „raunijaR“ den Abschluss der “Åsgards Fall”-Story, die mit gleichnamiger EP im Jahr 2010 begonnen hatte.
Bassist / Sänger V’gandr kommentiert: “The opening track “Helheim 9” is actually the last in the line of the HELHEIM tracks where Hrymr in particular has been the creative force. He has combined his unique creativity and symbolism in a way that overwhelms everything that came before, and the result is a truly fitting closure. The title track “raunijaR” continues on from Helheim’s “Heiðindómr ok Mótgangr”, and has a relentlessly driving sound that showcases the confrontational, yet familiar, black metal sound in the vein of “Dualitet og Ulver”. “Åsgards Fall” Parts 3 and 4 will be the final and vital link in the completion of the theme that was begun in both lyrical and musical terms with the “Åsgards Fall” MCD. Closing the album is “Odr”, a solemn track that gives the album an ending full of the grandeur and respect that it deserves.”
