about

Single 2023

A keremet is a spirit in Mari, Mordvin and Udmurt mythology that oscillate between good and evil depending on its relationship with and position in the life of its worshippers. In Sápmi mythology, a "kaanij/ganii" is closest to that in comparison.

lyrics

Lyrics - English translation:

I hold you dear even though I know you might end me
We wander together, hands tightly squeezed
through our a shared nonexistance
Without moral, thoughts nor yearnings

You are thy air, you are thy soil
There are no remnants of time nor space
We are destined to succumb to the flames
wherein we reborn as beams of black light

We are like dim novas
Shining from a distance at the turmoils below

Sápmi Black Metal!

"My art will remain dark, however optimistic I become. I suck in the gloom from this region, from home, the surroundings, sickness, death. I shall never speak about joyful things, I shall always remind of the bad, the oppressive, I shall always sing in a minor key." - K. Palsa (1947-1987)
