Auðn release new song ‘Ljóstýra’

AUÐN have released a brand new song!

The new song, Ljóstýra, is taken from the Icelandic black metal band’s upcoming new album, Vökudraumsins fangi, which is scheduled to be released in October this year.

Speaking about the new song, the band says, “Ljóstýra, meaning ‘Faint light’ is a metaphor for loneliness and the never ending jaded grind our world is spiralling towards, we hope for brighter days that never seem to materialize. Set in a frozen waste (AUÐN) a shimmer of light flickers in the distance in an old house This faint light represents the hope of change, that the seasons will return and this perpetual darkness and cold will cease. As the years go by you grow bitter and cold like the world you are forced to inhabit, the feeling that the world will get brighter ever fading into memory. When darkness falls and all hope seems gone the faint candle light brings solace and for a brief moment the world feels bright again.This is Ljóstýra.”

Vökudraumsins fangi is set for release on October 30th via Season of Mist. Pre-orders are available now and can be purchased here.
