Happy birthday, SURTURS LOHE !

SURTURS LOHE are commemorating the band´s 25th anniversary with a new album coming ou september 24th, 2021. 

SURTURS LOHE made a nine songs' album entitled " Wielandstahl", that could not be more epic and primeval. This is old school Thuringian Pagan Metal. High velocity riffing is contrasted with mighty choirs and folky use of the flute embellishes acoustic guitar arrangements, reminiscent of early works of Ulver. Lyrically „Wielandstahl“ is an interpretation of the story of Wieland, the blacksmith. 

Shir-Ran Yinon (Haggard) and Stephan Löscher (Fjoergyn) are featured as guest musicians.

March 19thn 2021, the band released an EP in vinyl titled Woland. You can get it over here.

Wioland` is Old High German for Wieland. The name then gives the reference and the connection to the main art album `Wielandstahl`. ++++ SIDE A: `Mimes Reigen` = A really fast track with black metal and folklore parts. The play deals lyrically with the saga when Wieland was apprenticed to Mime the blacksmith and was thus taught the basic skills of forging. Wieland later forges the Mimung sword in honor of his master. ++++ SIDE B: `Von Albischer Hand (Metal Version)` = Only for this 7inch there is this song, the original of which is kept acoustically (Ulver sends his regards ;-)) on `Wielandstahl`, in a heartbreaking Metal version. The lyrics depict the legend where Wieland learns the blacksmithing par excellence from the dwarfs (presumably Balver cave) and does it there (later in captivity).
