Description
Celebrating the 20th anniversary of Fortíð's debut album, the release of "Völuspá" as a 3CD large-format artbook unites the band's first three albums: "Völuspá Part I: Thor's Anger" (2003), "Völuspa Part II: The Arrival Of Fenris" (2007) and "Völuspá Part III: Fall Of The Ages" (2010). These albums, forming a conceptual trilogy, are herewith brought together on one release for the first time. Three bonus tracks were added to each album, and in addition the first two albums were remastered by Einar "Eldur" Thorberg Guðmundsson. The artbook contains 60 pages and impresses at first glance with its hardcover, which is finished with golden hotfoil. The content of the artbook includes introductions by Kári Pálsson and Einar "Eldur" Thorberg Guðmundsson, all lyrics in original language and in English translation, essays on the band's history and numerous visual material from each creative period of Fortíð. "Völuspá" is an impressive monument to these milestones of Icelandic Pagan Black Metal, which honors the importance of the first three Fortíð albums. Tracklist: 01. Into Battle / Til orustu 02.
