LISTEN to ‘Зима (Winter)’

PRE-ORDER Frostwinter

NORDGEIST mastermind T comments:
English:
“‘Зима (Winter)’ is the first song that I have composed for Frostwinter. Lyrics and music describe the essence and the character of the winter season from my point of view. Winter is depicted in a warlike image as a conquerer, who takes over the world and turns it into a huge ice desert.”

Deutsch:
“‘Зима (Winter)’ ist als erste Komposition für Frostwinter entstanden. Der Song beschreibt lyrisch und musikalisch das Wesen des Winters aus meiner Sicht. Ich stelle dem Winter in einer kriegerischen Metapher als einen Eroberer dar, der die Welt übernimmt und in eine riesige Eiswüste verwandelt.”

русский язык:
“‘Зима’- это первая композиция в альбоме Frostwinter, в которой описывается сущность и характер зимы с точки зрения автора. Здесь зима представляется воинственным образом, который намерен овладеть всем миром и превратить его в огромную ледяную пустыню.”

Tracklist:

  1. Зима (Winter)
  2. Старый волк (The Old Wolf)
  3. Возмездие (Revenge)
  4. Тоска (Sorrow)

NORDGEIST were conceived in the Siberian city of Bratsk in the Irkutsk Oblast at the junction of the rivers Oka and the mighty Angara. This territory once belonged to the nomadic Buryat people, who are related to the Mongolians and renowned for their close relationship to nature. Bratsk lies in the subarctic climate zone, which results in dark, long cold winters.

It is therefore quite easy to see, where T, the mysterious mastermind and musician behind NORDGEIST took inspiration from. Her approach to black metal is obviously shaped by the Nordic scene, with which T’s music shares a penchant for majestic melodies and cineastic soundscapes, but also delivers an extra dose of viscious fury.

Founded in 2017, NORDGEIST caused an immediate stir in the black underground with the split-release, Nordwinter, which they shared with VINTERKULT.

Now NORDGEIST unleash their ice-crowned album debut, Frostwinter, which will hit the world like a black blizzard from Siberia.
