”I am dreaming of the mountains of my home
Of the mountains where in childhood I would roam
I have dwelt ’neath southern skies
Where the summer never dies
But my heart is in the mountains of my home
I can see the little homestead on the hill
I can hear the magic music of the rill
There is nothing to compare
With the love that once was there
In that lonely little homestead on the hill
I can see the quiet churchyard down below
Where the mountain breezes wander to and fro
And when God my soul will keep
It is there I want to sleep
With those dear old folks that loved me long ago”
- W.S. Gwynn Williams
I was just deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Bartholomäus Resch - frontman of Arsgoatia and founder of Funkenflüg / House of the Holy, the most unique festival experience I’ve ever attended and performed at.
My thoughts go out to his closest friends and family.
Das Feuer wird weiterleben!

Coming soon: Forndom – “Faþir” LP (2026 reissue)
Rooted in ancient cycles of life, death, and renewal, Faþir is a deeply immersive journey through devotion, grief, and rebirth. With expressive vocals and soaring strings carried by unyielding rhythms, Forndom weaves vast inner landscapes where the sacred meets the human pulse. From fragile beginnings to wistful closure, the album offers a timeless refuge from the modern world, revealing forgotten wisdom beneath its shadowed beauty.

Forndom has been confirmed for the upcoming festival Nightshade Frequencies II, to be held in Stockholm on September 5, 2026, together with several prominent acts hailing the legacy of Quorthon and Bathory.
As we move into the darkest nights and the holiday season, I just want to take a moment to thank you all for your support during the past year.
As we venture onward toward the light, the work will continue with the upcoming album, which might be the darkest one yet - but, as always, will head toward both hope and illumination, mirrored by the past and the present.
Finally, I just want to wish you all a lovely Solstice, a God Jul, and a happy New Year!
