The song Six Dagger, One Axe from the new album
In the spirit of Norwegian black metal rises a mysterious new band, delivering odes to the darkness and cold of the frozen north. Emerging from obscurity to produce a five track debut album is Bekmork (Norwegian for pitch black). Their lyrical is often strongly rooted in Scandinavian folklore, with references to Viking legends and pagan gods, but can more broadly be interpreted as a nihilistic celebration of all which is darkness. Aggressive, relentless, morbid, and haunting with unforgiving riffs and guttural howls, smothering all light.
The song Of Hoof, And Horn, And Blood
A taster of the lyrics,
Past days of glory spent
Now feeble and weak
No foes to take to battle
Yet surrounded by enemies
Arrogant, lying in riches
Ignorant to the threat
That stood as a shield before him
Now plot his death
No longer fit to rule
Sword removed from the hand
The king becomes the fool
The dragon becomes the lamb
Six daggers, One axe
Six daggers, One axe
Six daggers, One axe
In a house that was built of wood
Thousand years ago
Six daggers
One axe
And a head will roll
In a land that was bathed in blood
Untold times before
Six daggers
One axe
And a kingdom falls
Viking oath broken
Betrayed everything
A king’s blood spills
The North shall rise
No longer fit to rule
Sword removed from the hand
The king becomes the fool
The dragon becomes the lamb
Six daggers, One axe
Six daggers, One axe
Six daggers, One axe
In a house that was built of wood
Thousand years ago
Six daggers
One axe
And a head will roll
In a land that was bathed in blood
Untold times before
Six daggers
One axe
And a kingdom falls
