Vafurlogi - Í vökulli áþján

On September 13th internationally, the alliance of NoEvDia and Oration Records is proud to present Vafurlogi's striking debut album, Í vökulli áþján. Vafurlogi is rooted both spiritually and literally in the early 2000s black metal movement, as the earliest songs were written nearly 20 years ago. Like the stalwarts of that era, Vafurlogi draws inspiration not only from the staunch traditionalism of the '90s but also from its rebellious spirit of discovery and creation. Fronted by guitarist Þórir Garðarsson of Sinmara and Svartidauði, who now also takes on vocal and bass duties, Vafurlogi presents a new chapter for him as a songwriter. Throughout years of activity with his other bands, the essence of Vafurlogi slowly cultivated in parallel below the surface. Initially a vessel for accumulated works not suitable for Svartidauði or Sinmara, Vafurlogi developed into an avenue for him to freely explore different creative ideas and moods. While touching on the apocalyptic, nightmarish realms of Svartidauði and the haunting atmospherics of Sinmara, Vafurlogi places greater emphasis on triumphant and unabashedly melodic flourishes through a comparatively stripped-down compositional approach.
