Svartby - Tomte [EP]

Svartby



NORTHERN WARRIORS#Style: Folk Pagan Metal
NORTHERN WARRIORS#Origin: Russia
NORTHERN WARRIORS#Lyrics: Heathen themes
NORTHERN WARRIORS#Year: 2007

Svartby is a folk metal band from Saint-Petersburg, Russia.

The band sings about wild magical creatures living in fictional place "Svartby" (Black Village) - witches, goblins, dwarfs - definitely unkind to human folk, but at the same time merry, nature-loving and nice living beings with a good sense of humor. The lyrics are in Swedish.

The lyrics of the debut album were heavily criticized by Swedish listeners (even the name "Kom I Min Kittel" became "cum in my cauldron" in Swedish ears, not "come into my cauldron"as the band meant).



Tracklist:
  • 1. Avsked
  • 2. Groda, Ryttare
  • 3. Tomte
  • 4. Hemska Små Båtar
  • 5. Gnom Slam
