about

"In the distance Svarog notices a little grey duck swimming above a dark hole in the water. He asks the duck if it has seen Mother Earth. The duck says that she’s down at the bottom of the ocean. Svarog asks the duck to go get her.

The duck disappears and returns a year later saying that it couldn’t hold its breath any longer and asks for help in retrieving Mother Earth from the ocean’s abyss. So Svarog calls for Rod’s help, who then blows a mighty wind, stirring up the ocean, and the duck dives back down.

Two years pass and the duck returns saying, “I got closer this time but still ran out of breath.” So Svarog calls upon Rod, who brings a storm upon the ocean and shoots lightning into the duck. The duck dives down and is gone for three years.

After three years the duck returns with a branch in its mouth. Svarog takes the branch, rubbing it in his palms begins to command the forces of the world: “Make warmth, Sun! Light up, Moon! Blow, Wind! We must save Mother Earth, our nurturer.” All the elements came together, the wind blew the branch from Svarog’s hands. As it fell into the ocean, the sun shone, heating the ocean, as the water evaporated the moist.

Mother Earth appeared at the surface and the moon quickly cooled her down."

Bellum I
by Aquilus

supported by 4 fans who also own “Dreams from the Black Marsh - Exodus”

Aquilus took a decade off and came back like he never left! Bellum I is yet another piece of beautiful melodic black metal mixed with classical and folk that makes you wanna dance naked in a forest somewhere. The natural sounding production increases the atmosphere heavily. Griseus is a monumental black metal album for me but Bellum I isn't far behind. Can't wait for II! Ryan
