Fordaeduskapr
Hraeflod markar fjalla

Fordæðuskapr (Old Norse for ‘sorceryʼ or ‘witchcraftʼ) is a new band by S.D. which was started in early 2022. Similar to S.D.ʼs primary artistic output Árstíðir lífsins, ‘Hræflóð markar fjallaʼ is sung entirely in Icelandic and contains lyrics taken from the rich corpus of Old Norse skaldic poetry.

The texts have an apocalyptic character and mainly deal with themes related to death, violence and bloodshed. Appropriately, ‘Hræflóð markar fjallaʼ may be translated to ‘Carrion flood of the wood of the mountainsʼ. The album features six songs with a total playing time of 38 minutes and contains both modern and classic Black Metal elements stemming from older Norwegian and current Icelandic metal scenes.
