Helrunar: 'Sól'

Helrunar's 'Sól' will be out through Lupus Lounge on December 31, 2010 in Germany and Austria, on January 3, 2011 in the rest of Europe, and on February 8, 2011 in North America. The album will be available in three versions:

1. 'Sól I – Der Dorn im Nebel' (digipak CD)
Part 1 of the concept album. Musically, 'Der Dorn im Nebel' establishes the concept of 'Sól' with classical and direct pagan black metal, while the lyrics outline the individual's struggle against and for himself.
Track listing:
1. Gefrierpunkt
2. Kollapsar
3. Unter dem Gletscher
4. Nebelspinne
5. Praeludium Eclipsis
6. Tiefer als der Tag
7. Nur Fragmente...
8. Ende 1.3

2. 'Sól II – Zweige der Erinnerung' (digipak CD)
Part 2 of the concept album. With 'Zweige der Erinnerung' the struggle of the individual reaches a new dimension: Supported by pagan black metal that is more experimental and more complex in regard of atmosphere, the focus here lies on the individual's conflict with society.
Track listing:
1. Europa nach dem Eis
2. Aschevolk
3. Die Mühle
4. Rattenkönig
5. Moorgänger
6. Lichtmess
7. Sól

3. 'Sól' (2CD artbook edition)
The band's principal offering; it unites both CDs and contains a 50-page large-format book which expands the song lyrics into the dimensions of a classic drama and presents exclusive illustrations and a preface by Skald Draugir.
