Long time no see! Well, sometimes life gets in the way. But, moving on!
Just got sent this masterpiece, and although it is not Black Metal, it is very dark and mystical, so you might enjoy it too.
Saulės Kalvis (The Sun's Blacksmith), is the first single from Alkai, the fourth album of Vėlių Namai, ritualistic dark-folk project from Lithuania.
Alkai should be released on the 20th of January 2023, but you can watch the video for Saulės Kalvis here:
"“Saulės Kalvis” is about Teliavelis, a Baltic mythological god who - according to Baltic mythology - was the blacksmith who forged the sun. Afterwards, he put it in the sky to illuminate the earth and make the land fertile.
The video clip was shot at Kilkim Žaibu, a Baltic culture and extreme music festival which takes place during the summer solstice – the longest day of the year. In the Baltic tradition, the summer solstice (Rasos, Kupolės) marks a very important celebration.
The live performance features a symbolic blood sacrifice, as well as lighting of a symbol of the sun. The symbol then ignites the great bonfire, honouring the sun and the warmth it provides. It’s a celebration of the sun before the period when days become shorter and darkness starts to return. "
