sjah83 Fantastic ambient display by Gjoll in this LP. I'd say there's a transition, an intended progression from A1 to B5: at the beginning, dub ambient; then it switches to drone ambient (intense drones, by the way); and from then it switches again to more aggressive soundscapes, close to experimental and dark/industrial techno. This type of progression is highly appreciated for the one who's writing—me—so it deserves my recommendation. Favorite track: a4 - Grendel's Smerte.

about

En Saga Om Salt Og Blod or A Saga Of Salt And Blood is inspired by the heroic epic poem of Beowulf.

"Hrothgar, a Danish king, has built a big mead hall, which is called Heorot. Hrothgar and his people live a good life and celebrate in Heorot. But then they are attacked by Grendel, who comes to Heorot every night and kills some of Hrothgar's people.

Beowulf is a warrior from Geatland (modern southern Sweden). He hears of Hrothgar's troubles with Grendel. Beowulf and his men leave Geatland to help King Hrothgar.

Beowulf and his men stay the night in Heorot. When Grendel comes to kill them, Beowulf fights him. Beowulf tears Grendel's arm off from his body and sticks it on the wall as a trophy. Grendel runs to his home in the marshes, where he dies. Everyone is happy that Grendel is killed and celebrates. But the next night, Grendel's mother comes to Heorot and kills many people for revenge and grabs Grendel's arm. Beowulf then goes to the marshes where Grendel and his mother lived. Beowulf fights Grendel's mother and kills her.

Beowulf later becomes a king. He fights a dragon that was living in a barrow. With the help of the young man Wiglaf, Beowulf kills the dragon. Beowulf is wounded in the final battle and dies and crowns Wiglaf as his successor."
