Introducing our new single!

Nyokki (Nøkken, Nor.) In Norwegian folklore are terrible evil creatures, a cross between mermaids and aquatic creatures. During life, they were sad, lonely people, and after death they could not get to heaven. As a result, the Nyokks remained to live near the water in order to lure people and animals into it. Like the Greek Sirens, the Nokki could use singing or music to captivate their victims and subsequently drown them in bodies of water. There are stories in which the Nokki taught people the art of playing the violin in exchange for a victim or something else. There is no single idea of ​​what the Nyokks looked like. Some described them as ugly demons, some as beautiful virgins turning into monsters, and some even in the form of four-legged beast-like creatures.
