Afargang release new song ‘Leva og Døy’

Blending Nordic musical heritage, black metal and using the Hardanger Fiddle to create soundscapes, Afargang are now releasing a brand new song “Leva og døy”. The project, the brainchild of Olav L. Mjelva who is known as Norway’s most renowded fiddler, recently signed to By Norse.

Listen to the song here // Watch the video.

The song is taken of the upcoming album ‘Andvake‘, set for worldwide release on June 13. Pre-orders are available in the By Norse store here.

Olav L. Mjelva elaborates about the song: 

“To live and to die. This one is the only song on the album inspired by Norse mythology. The humans want the God Frøy to come to earth. Frøy was the one that judged people who lied (amongst other things. He also had a boat that could float overland; Skibladner). When Frøy sees how the earthlings behave, lie and deceive, he gets really mad, which you can hear in the last part of the song.”
