Carve The Runes by Secret Archives of the Vatican

In these tracks, we explore iron age and pre medieval history and mythologies, using mostly real or sampled medieval and Viking era acoustic instruments. We have used drones and repetition often in our music but here we've dug deeper, working to attain a ritualistic feel to some of the tracks. We've been listening to artists such as Heilung, Wardruna and Danheim, and we've tried to capture some of that epic primal feel, particularly with our percussion. Released May 2021
