An outstanding, beautiful album this is! The diversity could turn some listeners off, but Helga goes everywhere here-- doom metal, shoegaze, pop, and folk with panache.
Even if it can be disjointed, I've been listening to it all week. This is a favorite this year, 110%. Favorite track: If Death Comes Now.

It seems that someone tossed Kalandra and Sylvaine into a blender while everyone was looking away – with an extra dose of vegetation and innocence.
Favorite track: Alive Again.

As a metal fan, I generally don't like any music that can be described as 'chill.' 'Chill' is the opposite of what metal should be. Yet every now and then, an album comes along that brings those two enemies together in perfect union. This album is one of them.

Skogen mumlar
Vinden viskar
Följ med mig in i skogen
Så sjunger vi om träden
Dansar med älvorna
Hela natten till gryningen
Kom och följ med mig in i skogen
Springa mot ängarna
Dansa drömma bort under stjärnhimmeln
Dansa med älvorna

Burden
04:57
|
|||
|
I lost all I had
I lost my home
Where do I go now
Where do I go
Empty inside
A part of me is missing
In the woods I belong
It’s a big world
A big world
Never thought I would end up here
Full of lights, sounds and faces
But my heart is aching
In the woods I belong
It’s a big world
A big world
I’m looking for a friend to share my fears and pain
I want to save you
Lighten your burden

Water
03:55
|
|||
|
Water falling from the sky
I can feel it, I’m alive
The lake I’ve come to love
So pure and so dear
Flowing through you and me
Across the land, into the sea
Water! Bountiful water!
Quenching the thirst of my people
Water! Bountiful water!
Quenching the thirst of my people
Look at the children walking a mile
Carrying heavy jars, wearing a smile
I don’t want to see them frown
But sometimes we make ugly decisions
Ungrateful for what we have
This wonderful gift that we keep destroying
This wonderful gift that we all share
But one day it's all gone
Waters will dry, die

If Death Comes Now

|
If death comes now
I welcome it
With open arms
I welcome it
If it takes me now
I will let it
If it’s my time
Then so be it
It's over now
I’ll embrace it
Time is up
Walk me through the forest for one last time
I say my farewell
To all the friends I've made here
The lovely birds, the snow, the trees
The ice, the wind, the fallen leaves
You've all been good to me

Farväl

Sluta! Jag vill inte höra dig!
Vem är du?
Jag känner inte igen dig
Vem är du?
Låt mig leva mitt liv
I lugn och ro
Farväl, kära bror

Alive Again
03:35
|
|||
|
I’m trying to sleep but I can’t stop my thoughts
from wandering in places I’ve never been
Just to find you
I was in a tunnel and I met the monster
I fought it with all my power
I never felt so weak but I looked up and I’m back on my feet again
I held your hand then I felt alive again
You’re the reason why I breathe
You’re the reason why I’m here
Under the water, under the water
Fighting my fears, fighting my fears
Fighting the monsters under the water
Been doing it all these years

Vast and Wild
04:04
|

|
Havets andar, hör mig!
Heart is racing, beating through my chest
Like the waves of the sea before me
I see myself in the water
My heart longs for
Vågor av längtan
flödar genom mig
Vast and wild, the sea
I hear the sound of my heart
Wildly beating
Roaring waves devour me
Like these emotions
(I’m) wildly feeling
Deep blue sea, hear me
Hear my cry
Tears flowing through your waters

Kom så går vi tillsammans
Hör du det jag hör
Hjärtat slår som en trumma

Mountain Song
05:34
|
|||
|
The mountains are calling
The mountains are calling
The mountains are calling
I am here
I am here
I am here!
The smell of the mountain air
Breathing in, breathing in
Hands touching the ground
I can hear the sound
Voices of the earth
I hear you
I am standing before something
Greater than myself
Is this what it feels to be alive?

Wrapped in Mist
06:34
|
|||
|
Falling, falling leaves
Swirling in the wind
Dying before my eyes
He’s an autumn child
Wrapped in mist
The fiery setting sun
Kisses him goodbye
Fog-smothered trees
Raven sky
Falling...
The scent of melancholy in the air
We remember the dead
We dance, we dance, we dance!
Dance! Dance! Dance!
With the swirling leaves!

about
Once, sequestered away in the far reaches of Swedish
hinterland, a shrouded girl wandered alone through
interminable forest. Chanting psalms amidst birch and pine,
her choral voice drifted like birds through an evening mist.
The chapel choir she sang with had gifted and honed her
voice, but woodland and lake would always be her church.
Her name – Helga.
Alas, despite her reverence for fjäll and forest, a beckoning
had begun to stir deep within Helga’s heart. A longing,
yearning to be heard and to share the majesty of song.
Gathering books and belongings, Helga bid farewell and
emerged from the wilderness that had nurtured her since
she was a child.
“Singing in small local bands I’d experimented
with songs in both English and Swedish,
but sometimes English just felt misplaced,
you know?
Like a betrayal of where the song is coming
from, where I am from.

The first album is already a very good one, but the second is even better! It contains again nature black metal, quite melodic, but also wild, with some folkloristic elements, full of atmosphere and performed with passion. For me, BLACKBRAID fits well into the same category as other epic one man bands like Saor, Ruadh or Pure Wrath. Besides the catchy and quite straight opener "The Spirit returns", I mention the mightiest track "Moss covered Bones on the Altar of the Moon" as my favourite song!

I am aboard the Wayfarer train and happy to be here!!! A fierce and smoldering record. Smoky, soot-stained, and violent, as many others have observed. I grew a Van Dyke, a full-body black denim suit with blood-red garnet buttons, and a brand new Stetson right out of my head just listening to the opening songs. It really feels like Wayfarer have hit a stride, one which follows its nose for good blends of music. Happy to have seen ya at FITM, in DC w/ Sonja, and now very excited to see you again!

Shoegaze, post-rock, black metal, dark ambient: if it's gloomy and surreal, you'll find it on the Arizona outfit's excellent second LP.
