After a long gap in the release-schedule of this fine label, famous for high profile productions and high quality graphics and packaging, Equilibrium is finally back with an outstanding new release! Nine songs inspired by Nordic traditions and culture, dedicated to lost values.
Nine spells to evoke the old Gods and pay tribute to the warrior spirit of the past. "De Nio Kraftsångerna" is the long awaited debut album by LEIDUNGR, the latest project by H. Möller (of ARDITI and PUISSANCE), M. Belfagor (of NEFANDUS and OFERMOD) and P. Ståhl.
Crafted by weaving ritual elements into traditional folk, the trinity's mesmerizing work is also imbued with an indelible martial aura which reinforces the underlying heroic mood summoned on these recordings. The potent and evocative combination, which spreads across various genres, often re-creating their common formats, allows LEIDUNGR to carve their unique brand of Nordic Ritual Folk - a term which perfectly d! efines the genuine atmosphere of this work, now finally available on matt varnished Digipak CD with copper printing. Although the project's inception can arguably be traced back to ARDITI's "Statues of Gods" release (10” EP 2009, Equilibrium Music), LEIDUNGR quickly grew into a unique separate entity. It was while working on the material for this split 10" that H. Möller's experiments with Swedish traditional Folk elements lead to a new found path which clearly deserved further exploration. New allies for this endeavor were found in M.. Belfagor and guitarist P. Ståhl.
Both contribute lyrics and vocals to the project, with Belfagor's research in Nordic esoteric traditions offering a rich conceptual background for LEIDUNGR. Visual assistance was found in Freki Wodenswolf, a talented artist known his unique handcrafted creations, made from natural materials as leather, wood, horn, bone and metal. Perfectly in tune with the project's inspiration and Nord! ic roots, Freki has provided much of the artwork that accompanies LEID UNGR's outputs.
The band made their debut via the limited edition "Hell Eder Asar" 7" EP, released on Fronte Nordico in 2011, which quickly started to build anticipation surrounding the release of a full album.
Extended Edition including rare EP’s & ‘21790’ live show from Manchester GMEX, available on DVD for the first time. Inspiral Carpets emerged during the ‘madchester’ scene of the late eighties, alongside bands like The Stone Roses and Happy Mondays , with their debut album ‘Life’ being released on Mute records in 1990 and reaching top 10 in the UK charts. Their Psychedelic sound set them apart from their peers.
This 2CD extended edition of the album includes the original album, with the bands first two Ep’s, ‘Planecrash EP’ and Trainsurfing EP’, and their first BBC session for John Peel in 1988.
The second disc features a DVD video of their ‘21790’ live show from Manchester GMEX, which is available complete on DVD for the first time. In March 2013, the band begin a tour with the original lineup, including vocalist Stephen Holt.
They will be performing the debut album, ‘Life’, alongs! ide other hits.
