about

Introducing new singles!

We didn't have to think about which band our band would like to cover. Bathory was a huge influence on the founders of Bjarla, so we had no doubts.
This music band has made an invaluable contribution to the development of many genres of music, viking metal in particular. Beginning to create in the 1980s, Quorthon, the leader of the group, was ahead of his time.
We are honored to do our own version of the Bathory song. The original is immortal, but this is how we interpreted this track.
Enjoy listening🌲

Worked on singles:

Anton Marchuk - vocals, backing vocals, strings, bass guitar, jew's harp, samples;

Poison Ivy - vocals, backing vocals, Russian lyrics.

Recording of all instruments and vocals - Tashio prod.

Mixing and mastering - Alexey Stetsyuk.

lyrics

Foreverdark woods.

Evening is falling, all still around me
The old crow is calling, but the landscape is at peace
Down the trail through this forest, through thicket we ride
The unseen is watching from behind each stone and pine

Slowly the golden disk of the sun is setting
Beyond the rim of Nordland at the end of long day
Slowly the ominous dark descend upon all
Engulfing all land and heaven and the shore of Asa bay

Here lie the bones of our fathers long gone
Deep in the soil of these woods
Among these great trunks legends were born
Here many great battles stood

Trotting the trail, my stallion cautions
Present the spirits of foreverdark woods

We rest by the fire, the shadows come to life by its light
Three brothers, sons of white wolf, observed by the eyes of the night

Night is long where the sunlight is pale
The fear is strong when you ride in the dawn
Down foreverdark woods trail

Heavy the turf, bone meal and blood
Raise high you pine towards sky
Firm in the soil, tree trunks of gods
Like dragon ship masts straight and high

Reaching the glade, ride on to Asa bay
Watched by the spirits of foreverdark woods
