The serpent of Nastrond There is a gate that faces north, leading to a darkened hall. And through the sound of venom drops it can be heard his dreadful call. He is a beast that lies beneath and gnaws the deep roots from inside. Enclosed by dark shadows unseen, consumes the tree's remaining life. The day when Surtur's flaming eyes will stare at Asgard's blood stained walls, the serpent of Nastrond will rise and world-tree Yggdrasill will fall. Those who have died with dishonor, without pride and not in war, they were all damned to be loners wandering at the corpse shore. In a hall woven of serpents' spines, where oathbreakers are enslaved is the dark place where Nidhoggr lies devouring corpses of the slain. The day when Surtur's flaming eyes will stare at Asgard's blood stained walls, the serpent of Nastrond will rise and world-tree Yggdrasill will fall.

Those from the Underworld Many dark ages ago the children of darkness were born. They came from kingdom of the dead and filled the world with fear and dread. Many years the gods have spent since the day Tyr lost his hand. But what shall be the Norns know, and that rivers of blood will flow. A snake with darkened soul and heart could encircle the whole Midgard, but gods sent it to rule the sea so that it never could break free. The wolf was locked with magic chains in a dark abandoned place. He's waiting with a burning wrath the day of the final attack. The hellish creatures of the night await with rage the final fight. And we shall know when skies get clear that twilight of the gods is near. Fenris will destroy his chains, the snake will spill a venom rain. Midgard will get covered by cold as the fate has been forеtold. The queen of darkness was named Hel, in the kingdom of the dead she dwells. She was Loki's youngest child and in the dark she was exiled. Many years the gods have spent since the day Tyr lost his hand. But what shall be the Norns know, and that rivers of blood will flow. The hellish creatures of the night await with rage the final fight. And we shall know when skies get clear that twilight of the gods is near. Fenris will destroy his chains, the snake will spill a venom rain. Midgard will get covered by cold as the fate has been forеtold.

Antichristian proclamation Centuries of dark oppression upon our pure native lands. Centuries of aggression by their stained with blood hands. Death and darkness all around, temples and idols erased. Under the reign of christian crown nations fell into disgrace. Forefathers were enslaved, their ancient culture burned to dust. Poisoned by the christian faith, by the false god they were cursed. For now you may have all the power but blood and soil can't be changed. These lands will again be ours and you will feel our rage. Hatred and abhorrence burn in my afflicted and broke soul. For your utter death I yearn, to fight against you is my goal. I will slay you with delight and I will watch how your blood flows. You will face your death with fright, as I stab your heart and throat. I won't bow down to your deceptions that have taken so many lives. And there will not be an exception, for full erasure I shall strive. Our future generations won't be slaves of your ill faith. And with my full determination I'll fight you till my last day.

Immortal pagan blood They came from a foreign land, a place of fire, dust and sand. Spreading words of love and piece, redemption, happiness and bliss. The temple of our gods was burned to a point of no return. On the ruins they placed a cross - the dark symbol of death and loss. They brought their unknown god by a sword, violence and blood. This incarnation of demise they called with the name of "Christ". With fire of Odin's spear and without remorse or fear, we shall break the christian chains for pagan blood runs in our vains. Skidbladnir will proudly sail and the desert gods will fail. And at the end of final war they shall feel the wrath of Thor. Ancestors shall be our guides. Einherjar will rise against the abrahamic plague and every christian shall be slain. One day these dark times will turn, the day when Baldur will return. We'll erase the christian bane and Asgard's gods will rule again. Until that day we'll live to fight and fill their evil hearts with fright. Odin gave his eye for us and we shall turn them into dust. They brought their false desert god by spilling our brother's blood. This dark creature of demise they called with the name of "Christ". With the fire of Odin's spear and without remorse or fear, we shall break the christian chains for pagan blood runs in our vains. Our ships again will sail and the old ways will prevail. And when we end the final war pagan world shall be reborn!

Towards Ultima Thule Many times in my bleak dreams there's a place that I have seen. Divine lights dancing in the sky over lands covered by ice. To those hills I shall ascend where freezing winter knows no end. There Gods reigned ages ago above those lands of frost and snow. This ground's endless allure has remained untouched and pure and to those mountains I shall strive to forever feel alive. A spectre came to me one night with burning beauty, dressed in white. She closed my eyes, kissed my lips and disappeared in the mist. The first half of her youthful face was shining with beauty and grace, but her other side was cruel like a shadow from the underworld. To those hills I shall ascend where freezing winter knows no end. There Gods reigned ages ago above those lands of frost and snow. This ground's endless allure has remained untouched and pure and to those mountains I shall strive to forever feel alive. With views of glaciers and gleams was marked the end of my last dream. And I must leave these lands forlorn and fly to place where I belong.

Ragnarok, one last war There will be eternal doom the day when Fimbulwinter come. Flowers then shall never bloom, there will be no moon, no sun. Surtur's horde will cross Bifrost burning every single star. Giants shall rise from the frost on the board of Naglfar. On Wigrid the Gods will gather under the sound of Gjallarhorn. All the sons and their fathers will prepare for one last war. Beginning of a new existence will mark the end of our God's souls. And after their last resistence they'll gather at Idavoll. The rise of Surtur's flaming sword will bring the somber death of Frey. And in the last battle of Thor Jormungandr shall be slain. Then Tyr will face Garm the beast and they will fight for the last time. Unseen rage shall be released and then they both will proudly die. In front of Fenrir's blazing eyes Odin shall rise his mighty spear, but he will face his own demise, as Midgard gets dismal and drear. On Wigrid the Gods will gather under the sound of Gjallarhorn. All the sons and their fathers will prepare for one last war. Beginning of a new existence will mark the end of our God's souls. And so after their last resistence they'll gather at Idavoll. Vidar will witness Odin's end and so there will be a revenge. Father of all then shall ascend while the wolf dies in Vidar's avenge. Midgard will be turned to ash, embraced by darkened mist and ice. And before Surtur's sword's crush Loki and Heimdall shall die. On Wigrid the Gods will gather under the sound of Gjallarhorn. All the sons and their fathers will prepare for one last war. Beginning of a new existence will mark the end of our God's souls. And so after their last resistence they'll gather at Idavoll.

about

All the music, lyrics and arrangements of what became the album Wotankult were written between 2016 and 2019 by Ovader after the inevitable end of his previous project called Melancholic Journey. The album was recorded in different sessions in 2019 solely by Ovader in his home studio in Bulgaria. All the mixing and mastering work was done by Martin Tsenov, the man behind the melodic/instrumental metal project Henna, also guitarist in the Icelandic atmospheric black metal band Dynfari. Mixing and mastering process was done in Iceland in 2019 and 2020. Tracks 1, 2 and 4 were previously released in a mini album called "Rise of the heathen spirit" in august, 2019. These three tracks were then re-recorded and re-mixed specially for the Wotankult album. Track 4 was originally named "Flaming pagan spirit". The pictures for the album's layout were done by Steven Kostov and are used with his permission. All the layout design was done by Ovader. The painting that was chosen to become a front cover of the album is called Nordmennene lander på Island år 872. It was created in 1877 by the norwegian artist Oscar A. Wergeland. Biggest thanks goes to Martin for his technical help and important advices throughout all these years!

Physical releases available from the Polish label Lower Silesian Stronghold (Europe) and Doomsday Elite (USA).
