In 2009, Heimdalls Wacht did a split with Heervader and Winterlieke. The split CD sold out instantly and the lengthy track “Threnos” became a favourite song for many people. Except on a limited compilation tape, the track was not reissued due to various reasons. The song marked a part of what was to be come three pieces of a puzzle that should be seen as a whole, with the two other parts released on later albums. Now the circle is complete and it’s time to bring them together. These songs are very important and even quintessential pieces of art for Heimdalls Wacht. After years of requests, we decided to unite the three “Ursprung” songs together on one release. The listener may know the other two parts appeared on “Ut de graute olle Tied – Deel II” and “Mystagogie”. All tracks are now compiled and united on this “Ursprung” EP.
All three songs were recorded at different times in different studios in different line-ups. So please be aware that the various quality of sound is part of the concept.
Part I: „Auf roter Erde erblüht“ is about loving the soil you have been born on – in our case it is a part of Germany called Westfalia and more specifically the Mönsterland. It is recorded 2015 at the Ragers Elite Studio in the line up Saruman (Guitars, Bass and Vocals), Narhemoth (Vocals) and Feuerriese (Drums). It has been released on „Ut de graute olle Tied – Deel II – Land der Nebel“ via Black Skull Records.
Part II: „Threnos“ is about leaving your home for a something your destiny has chosen for you. It is recorded 2009 at the Ragers Elite Studio in the line up Saruman (Guitars, Bass and Vocals), Narhemoth (Vocals) and Feuerriese (Drums). It has been released on „Niewelkraien“ via Det Germanske Folket.
Part III: „Jeder Abschied atmet den Tod“ is about ending a journey back to the where it began … and finally end this journey. It is recorded 2022/2023 at the Tom Meier Studio and Stage One Studio in the current line up Saruman (Guitars, Bass and Vocals), Teja (Guitars), Herjann (Guitars and Keyboards), Winterheart (Drums), Sarolf (Vocals) and Wiborg (Vocals). It has been released on „Mystagogie – Lieder voll Ewigkeit“ via Trollzorn Records.
