AETHYRIEN - Óðr (Full album)

Óðr (pronounced roughly “OH-thur,” with a hard “th” as in “the”) is an Old Norse word that has no direct equivalent in modern English, but essentially portrays the overwhelming sensation of divine inspiration, or the feeling you'd get standing before an inspiring god or goddess. I wrote this album leading up to me leaving the coast, the only place I have truly felt like home. When I expected to feel sadness, I continued to be overwhelmed with inspiration. I learned to mentally be present within every breath I took out there, breathing in the sea's air, taking in the sounds and feeling the peace and serenity that naturally lies deep within me. Having such an insane sense of inspiration for this short album, Óðr was the only name that made sense for this album.

Excellent music I am listening through a pair of transmission line loudspeaker cabinets that I built many years ago and just recently restored them being listening to a lot of deep dark music Viking war music and there’s not much music that can make my building shake but this is one of them. Luckily I live by myself in the middle of the French countryside, 70 year young dude, keep up the great work very enjoyable. Phil from the moulin France.

This is “The Way”. To flow like a river, simultaneously carrying destructive power and gracefulness. Great Album. 👍👍

Years ago in meditation and creative writing I started imagining my own world... creative visualization... sort of like the Robin Williams movie, What Dreams May Come. I've always loved myths, legends, fables, ancient history, and fantasy fiction of course -- so that was the essence of my What Dreams May Come... I called that world Aethyria or Aethyrea, imagined to be within a universe where human dream lands are real (Pryzmea). This music is almost tailored to a world in which magic, gods, dragons, immortal heroes, fey-folk (etc) are real -- Aethyria.

Kicked ass as I figured it would, brother. 👊 Younger Futhark still remains my favorite but they are all good.

[@aethyrien]

Thanks man! Younger Futhark is such a unique song. It's got a groove to it but also that ancient poem being spoken over it makes it such a unique sound. Thanks for checking out the album man! 😄🤘

@@aethyrien can you please link any info about the poem I would like to know the English translation, as i'm not fortunate enough to be able to understand the original tongue

[@aethyrien]

@@stormwright1248 I have a video of Younger Futhark on my channel that has the lyrics in the description. It was an ancient Norwegian poem that was written I believe during the transition to Christianity or shortly after if I recall that was focused on the runes. :)

Very good for testing whether your speakers are man enough to take the highs and lows of this music mind can I presume some peoples loudspeaker cabinets might struggle. Excellent music, Phil from the moulin France.

[@ModiThorsson]

I have a sincere song request, feel free to ignore, I take no offense. However, the request is thus; a song about modi, son of thor, lord of the bjarnskyna-berserkir, father of emma the world healer, brother of magne, god of combat, fury, odr, runes, war, death. But the human lives he's lived have all been filled with tradegy. But at the end we all realize tradgedy is just a sacrifice we must make to ourselves; the culmination of all the pain, suffering and hardships, all to make one'self better. It should feel like a proclamation, a self-recognition, a venting of all that trauma and also a sacrifice of it to himself to make himself stronger. Nobody is making songs on modi, everybody forgets modi, son of thor and grandson of odin. The only recognise magne at best, due to his freakish strength.

[@aethyrien]

Fascinating idea. I will put this one in the back pocket and wait for when inspiration strikes. Thank you! 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Great tracks! But alot of similiarities in most of them sadly, keep the theme but change instruments.

Nah I can't. I love the tagelharpa too much haha. It's like telling a guitarist to start playing a different instrument. :D I appreciate the critique though!!
