SVARTIDAUÐI are not only among the most notable bands within the modern, dissonant and monolithic black metal movement, but they are also one of the leaders.
I am the flame that burns in every heart of man, and in the core of every star. I am Life, and the giver of Life, yet therefore is the knowledge of me the knowledge of death. -Liber Al vel Legis 2.6
On the 3rd of December 2018, did SVARTIDAUÐI unleash long-awaited sophomore full-length "Revelations Of The Red Sword" upon the ashes of civilization. Once again recorded and produced at Studio Emissary by Stephen Lockhart and featuring artwork by David Glomba, the combined result is equally stunning sonically as it is visually. The 6 track, 47 minute album marks SVARTIDAUÐIs second release on legendary German imprint Ván Records.
The Red Sword refers to the rays of a rising- and a setting sun, encompassing its contents in the fire and the fury of our world’s most creative and destructive force, the glowing God up above, the Sun - Celebrating its howling solar winds, all the while waiting with anticipation for the inevitable heat death of the universe.
SVARTIDAUÐI means Black Death in English.
