Are you ready to be initiated by Kvasir?
This song intentionally invokes our inner 'wisest of all', and is based on the 'Saliva of all' storytel-track from the GRIMA album. Spātle Ǣghwās will be included on the GRIMA digipack edition.
This song is all about connecting with the power of Kvasir's archetypical wisdom, and consciously walking together with it on the adventure we call the wheel of life.
Spātle Ǣghwās was recorded by Faber Horbach at Auroch Audio Studio
Engineered by Fieke van den Hurk at DearWorld Studio
Mastered by Nico van Montfort at XPZ Sound Studio

Epic full-length debut is a superbly crafted, black metal LP blending choirs, strings, wailing guitars, and soaring vocals. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 21, 2015
Australian band Aquilus smashes genre boundaries to smithereens, combining classical orchestration with black metal on this riveting LP. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 13, 2021
This might be my favourite of Heilung. They've improved a bit on their later releases but their debut is still much meaner, and darker. Maria's amazing voice obviously steals the show but I also quite like Kai's too, especially on the live performance. In fact I'd say get LIFA over this IMO.
The spoken word bits are really cool to hear proto-germanic in use but for relistening purposes they are going to be a bit obtrusive. Nevertheless the proper music here is on continual repeat for me. Rabbit
