Heiftum skal mána kveðja

(Anonymous Poems, Hávamál 137)

Hoggorma mun hefjask herði-Þundr á landi; sjá munu menn á moldu margar heila borgir; nú vex blára brodda beystisullr í fjollum; koma mun sumra seggja sveita dogg á leggi.

(Anonymous Poems, Lausavísur 16)

Ræst ramr iotun runar.

Rístum rún á horni, rjóðum spjoll í dreyra, þau vel ek orð til eyrna óðs dýrs viðar róta.

(Egill Skallagrímsson, Lausavísur 9)

Ræst ramr iotun runar.

Hrærizk heimar, hristizk steinar. Vatn vill leysisk, villisk disir.

(Vilhjálms saga sjóðs)

Ræst ramr iotun runar.

Þat hefr hverr, er verðr er, loks.

(Anonymous Poems, Málsháttakvæði 25)

English: For Hatred The Moon Should Be Invoked

For hatred the moon should be invoked. (Anonymous Poems, Hávamál 137)

A hardy warrior will harry here soon; men will see on the ground many forts of brains; singing of sword-play will sound in the hills; dew of blood will dampen many legs

(Anonymous Poems, Lausavísur 16).

A strong giant carved runes. I carve runes on this horn, redden words with my blood, I choose words for the trees of the beast's ear-roots.

(Egill Skallagrímsson, Lausavísur 9)

A strong giant carved runes. Worlds move, stones shake, waters unleashed, bemused are the Dísir.

(Vilhjálms saga sjóðs)

A strong giant carved runes. Each gets what he deserves in the end.

(Anonymous Poems, Málsháttakvæði 26)

Heilende Spiritualität mit Wazzara

WAZZARA vereint Post-Metal, Doom als auch Psychedelic Rock und entstand aus dem Soloprojekt der Schweizer Sängerin/Komponistin Barbara Brawand (ex-Caladmor), das seine Anfänge in der Inspiration durch die Poetik des Wassers nahm.

Begeisterte Zuhörer werden seit 2015 von WAZZARAs andersweltlichen, ätherischen und magischen Klängen bewegt.

🌙 WAZZARA Band 2021 • 📸 Manuel Vargas Lépiz

➤➤➤ Backflash: Im Jahr 2019 erarbeitete Barbara mit dem isländischen Komponisten und Musiker Árni Bergur Zoëga (Helrunar, Arstidir Lifsins, Carpe Noctem) WAZZARAs erste EP, “Zessa”.

Anfang 2020 folgte ein erster Gig mit Grift und Wolcensmen, der erste und letzte, bevor sich nachfolgend eine leidlich lange Stille über die Bühnen der Welt legen sollte.

Anstatt jedoch die Ufer der Kreativität ersticken zu lassen, hat WAZZARA ihren Weg weiter beschritten und ist Ende 2020 zur Band angewachsen: Barbara Brawand (Gesang, Gitarre), Mäsi Stettler (Gitarre), George Necola (Bass), Julia Kapp (Live-Sessions Drums).

Der nun initiierte Schreibprozess führte zur Erkundung breiterer musikalischer Horizonte, die sich in hypnotischen, doomigen Riffs manifestierten und sich mit melancholischen, verträumten und ätherischen Klängen vermischten. Das wassergebundene lyrische Konzept wurde erweitert, was ungekünstelte und zerbrechliche Texte hervorbrachte, welche sich mit Verletzlichkeit beschäftigen und die Selbsterfahrung in einer Welt verarbeiten, in der Sensibilität als Schwäche gilt.

Die Lyrics sind Zaubersprüchen gleich, die – beseelt durch den Mond in Verbindung mit ungezähmter Weiblichkeit – zur Heilung alter Wunden gewoben wurden.

Inspiriert durch die Wanderung der Natur in unendlichen Zyklen, preist “Cycles” das Ende, das gleichzeitig immer auch einen Anfang darstellt:

Cotton candy; seeing as you've already mentioned Iceland what about three other places or countries And what about raspberry truffle, Rocky Road and pecan, the music ones There's loads of good questions in the ice cream ask but Ill stop with the asking if you want =p

No, don’t stop. It’s fun 😂

• three places you want to travel to?Oh, there are a lot of places, but okay, let it be Australia, Greenland and  Carpathians.

Friends keep saying that my music taste is Pretty odd and a regular human being just can’t listen to that stuff. • favorite kind of music?I literally live for atmospheric black metal, pagan folk, tribal and dark ambient and other stuff like this. I also like other metal genres and not only metal ones but not that much. • favorite songs at the moment?Right now I’m listening to “Hamrer Hippyer” by Heilung and can’t stop. Almyrkvi - “Vaporous Flame”Devin Townsend Project - “Failure”, “Higher” Batushka - “Yekteniya 7” Einar Selvik - “Skuggsja”• favorite songs for life?Arstidir Lifsins - “Kastar heljar brenna fjarri ofan Qnundarfirðinum” (don’t get scared it’s just Icelandic 😂)Heilung - “Krigsgaldr”, “Alfadhirhaiti” All the songs by Wardruna“Spaceboy”, “space oddity” and “Lazarus” by David BowieAnd a lot more songs I actually live for.

Morðbál á flugi ok klofin mundriða hjól

Morðbál á flugi ok klofin mundriða hjól, ek sé úr fjarska. Ek vaki í skýja grjóts barðrauknis rǫðli. Sofandi nú vera setr vakin á ný af óðum undakólfum varðmanna Óláfs konungs. Margir skulu ok vera, ǫll dreyra drifi n hjǫlt drifi n að konungs síðu.

Vér drifum hvatt, þars heyra hátt vápnabrak knátti, — rǫnd klufu roðnir brandar — reiðir upp á skeiðar.

En fyr borð, þars bǫrðusk, — búin fengusk skip — gengu — nár flaut ǫrt við eyri ófár — búendr sárir. (Sigvatr Þórðarson, Nesjavísur 8)

Þvít ríkr konungr rekka, reyr undlagar dreyra morðs þás merkja þorðu magnendr, bjósk at fagna. (Jórunn skáldmær, Sendibítr 3)

Vor jǫfra yfirskjǫldungr – sem af mǫrgum er í heiðri haldinn ok enn fleirum ótta vekr – stýr þeim byrðung ok leið mitt líf um leið. Forðum hann fór of víða ok var sigrsæll í mǫrgum hjǫrvahreim. Skýrðann mann hann skal kalla, ok dyggvan þjón hins alls stýrandi, mér bíðr fylgja.

Ǫttuð ôrum skreyttum austr í salt með fl austum; bôruð lind af landi, landvǫrðr, á skip randir.

Neyttuð segls, ok sættuð sundvarpaði stundum; sleit mjǫk róin mikla mǫrg ôr und þér bôru. (Óttarr svarti, Hǫfuðlausn 4)

Drótt vas drjúgligr ótti, dolglinns, at fǫr þinni, svanbræðir; namt síðan Svíþjóðar nes rjóða. (Óttarr svarti, Hǫfuðlausn 6)

Hríð varð stáls í stríðri strǫng Herdala gǫngu Finnlendinga at fundi fylkis niðs in þriðja. En austr við lô leysti leið víkinga skeiðar; Bálagarðs at borði brimskíðum lá síða. (Sigvatr Þórðarson, Víkingarvísur 3)

Enn kvôðu gram Gunnar galdrs upphǫfum valda — dýrð frák, þeims vel varðisk, vinnask — fjórða sinni,

þás ólítill úti jǫfra liðs á miðli friðr gekk sundr í slíðri Suðrvík Dǫnum kuðri. (Sigvatr Þórðarson, Víkingarvísur 4)

Víg vannt, hlenna hneigir, hjǫlmum grimmt it fimmta — þolðu hlýr fyr hári hríð Kinnlimasíðu —, þás við rausn at ræsis reið herr ofan skeiðum, enn í gegn at gunni gekk hilmis lið rekkum. (Sigvatr Þórðarson, Víkingarvísur 5)

Rétts, at sókn in sétta, (snarr þengill bauð Englum at) þars Ôleifr sótti (Yggs) Lundúna bryggjur

Sverð bitu vǫlsk, en vǫrðu víkingar þar díki; átti sumt í sléttu Súðvirki lið búðir. (Sigvatr Þórðarson, Víkingarvísur 6)

Enn lét sjaunda sinni sverðþing háit verða endr á Ulfkels landi Ôleifr, sem ferk máli. Stóð Hringmaraheiði (herfall vas þar,) alla Ellu kind (es olli arfvǫrðr Haralds starfi). (Sigvatr Þórðarson, Víkingarvísur 7)

Þengill, frák, at þunga þinn herr skipum ferri (rauð Hringmaraheiði) hlóð valkǫstu (blóði).

Laut fyr yðr, áðr létti, landfolk í gný randa, Engla ferð, at jǫrðu ótt, en mǫrg á flótta. (Óttarr svarti, Hǫfuðlausn 9)
