18.11. GRIMNER – "Urfader" (Despotz Records/Rough Trade)
Break Out: "…doch bestechen Grimner mit ihrer musikalischen Vielseitigkeit und halten mich gebannt an den Boxen. Zum einen sind da die rauen Vocals und die zauberhaften heidnischen Melodien, zum anderen der schöne Klargesang, die Härte und das Feuer in den schnellen Passagen der Lieder und die Klangfarbe der schwedischen Sprache, die es mir angetan haben."

This is 'Ur Vågorna' (Out Of The Waves) the third single from Grimner's upcoming album 'Urfader'.
"From out of the cold, watery depths, it emerges. Grimner proudly presents the fourth single from their upcoming album: A song by the name "Ur Vågorna". Musically, according to the band, it is a perfect representation of the new album, aiming to prepare you for the journey that is "Urfader".
The lyrics tell about Tor fighting the gigantic Midgard serpent, Jörmungandr, living in the ocean and encircling our world. This is a very adventurous song, and it smoothly takes you through joyful parts that merges with heavy evil sounds. It is as epic as it is a hell of a dark one. We have always known Grimner for having a very mixed style of folk and metal, but they probably took it to a new level with this one.
Grimner about the new single: "This song kind of shows all different sounds that is the album "Urfader" and Grimner. Therefore, it deserves to be released as a single one week before the release of the full album". // Grimner
For this song, an incredible music video was recorded at the Swedish coast line on a stormy autumn day. In the video you see Grimner playing live on the cliffs surrounded by the ocean, and Tor (actor Kalle Lane) preparing himself to kill the giant snake in the water. "The video recording was as dramatic as the video captures it. We brought ourselves and the instruments in the middle of nowhere and played some metal music. Good times!" // Grimner
Grimner returns with fire and power. Their roots and influences of Swedish death metal and their love of heavy and power metal is weaved together with enchanting folk melodies and pagan choirs to create their own unique sound once again - all sung in their native Swedish, as always.
"We have never put this much effort into the production of an album previously. Truly, blood sweat and tears have been added to make this release what it has become. Finally, we are happy to share it with the world" // Grimner
More about Grimner:
Grimner, founded in 2008, shows that the past with few years of silence and pandemics hasn't been for nothing - silence means working. In the wake of a plague, Grimner emerge battle-scarred to release new tunes and tales to the world, inspired as always by ancient nordic myths and history. At the same time, this album certainly brings something special to the genre.
It all started in the Swedish town Motala by lead guitarist and vocalist Ted together with the drummer Henry. The first demo "A Call For Battle" (2010) was sung explicitly in English but was soon to be replaced by their native tongue Swedish. As time progressed and new records being released (EP "Färd" (2012), acoustic EP "De Kom Från Norr" (2015), full-length album "Blodshymner" (2014), Grimner has steadily made a name for themselves. One example is being tour support for the legendary Korpiklaaniduring their shows in Sweden in 2015.
In 2016 Grimner released their praised album “Frost Mot Eld” (Despotz Records), an album that brought a totally new sound to the music community. The album received outstanding reviews world-wide, with songs that to this date have reached millions of streams. With the album and their fantastic overall concept, Grimner has been invited to perform at festival stages around Europe. In 2018 the band celebrated their 10th anniversary and releases a new full-length album ”Vanadrottning” (Despotz Records) on February 9th.
