So, as some of you might or might not know I have several projects under my musical umbrella. This one is particularly important to me since it was incepted during a very dark period of my life. As my moniker ulvtharm, I have never released a solo album.. all focus has always been on writing for . This one however took a lucky (or unlucky) turn into a musical piece that I now am ready to present to the world. It might not be for everyone following me here on my channel, but please keep an open mind and dont run away. Big thanks to Frederic at Cyclic Law, and to Axel for your art, my brothers in arms Nordvargr and Drakh for ritual support. Also a shout out to Heikki Mastokangas for the epic footage in the album trailer shot in the darkest forests in Finland. Yours truly, BURG Ulvtharm ## Information from Cyclic Law Taken from: ULVTHARM “Wrēkō” CD / LP / DL (207th Cycle) Available via Bandcamp: Cyclic Law's Website: Release Date: October 31 2022 We’re honoured to present Ulvtharm’s first solo album. Long time collaborator of Nordvargr & Drakh in the legendary Swedish formation , “Wrēkō” was incepted when Ulvtharm lived in Malaysia while remotely writing the “Svartmyrkr” album of in 2018. Since “Svartmyrkr” was written over such a long period of time and over a significant geographical distance, there were natural moments of inspiration that radiated away from the sound, moments captured during the ritual sessions. Listening back to some of the raw demos made at the time, it was obvious that some of the tracks did not line up with spiritually, and the idea for an Ulvtharm solo album was born. Moving back to Sweden in November 2019, the creative process of dissecting and analyzing the demos started. When the pandemic hit, Jouni was thrown into a sleepless blackness for a long time, a mood that made him see the demos in a different light. This helped with re-composing and recording the missing parts, which were finalised in December 2020. This album is a deep dive into the mind and psyche during a dark time; it's a revenge on the own self for not taking this creative step before, and a celebration of getting out at the tail end of the modern plague. He’s now letting the music and spirits free out into the world for everyone to see and hear. This is his darkness. This is his revenge. This is Wrēkō! Artwork by the one and only Axel Torvenius.
