Sword Chant

I interviewed Vandrer and Phanaeus from the Italian band  VINTERBLOT .  01. Hi, folks! You founded VINTERBLOT back in 2008. What was the musically and lyrically ideas in that time? How things happened exactly ? Vandrer : Hey there! Well, VINTERBLOT has started as a group of very young buddies 'hitting' togheter their instruments in the same room. Our common influence was 'metal' itself since we have always had pretty different musical backgrounds, but in the end Swedish Death Metal sounded the coolest to our taste! I guess my obsession with Scandinavia and Norse Mythology was crucial to that, it has oriented our energy towards North, like a proper compass does! I was intended to write lyrics and concepts back in 2008, there you can definately feel how "Viking Age" has been inspiring to us!  02. Looking at your tracks titles, “Naglfar”, “As Sleipnir Rides”, or again “Throne of Snakes” from the new record, it reminds Norse mythology. What means that...
