Hädanefter by Jordfäst

Scandinavian in soil and spirit, "Hädanefter" is the harsh debut album of JORDFÄST. Steeped in both earthen melancholy and icy brutality, this rugged record originating from the realm of black metal pulls no punches; instead charging forth with ruthless melodies and pummeling, muscular grooves.

JORDFÄST's bleak voice is an ancient one, somberly contemplating the grievous disharmony in our existence, as the vast forces of nature dwarf the self-deceiving minds of mankind. From the Swedish forests, this long lost call carries out the wails of the past, reminding us that death is ever around us, in soil and spirit.

Jordfäst is an old Swedish word for being buried, loosely translated to ”attached to soil”. In their songs, they unearth the grim past of the Scandinavian peninsula, channeling the long-forgotten cries of people that once lived. The lyrical themes focus on the meagerness of mankind when faced with the forces of nature and how humans tend to become the very evil that they are trying to fight.
