JORDSKAELV




BAND NAME: Jordskaelv
GENRE: Lo-fi Unblack/Doom Metal
STATUS: Active
LOCATION: Netherlands

Their name was apparently misspelled on one of UMS's releases as "Jordskalev".

Originally Jordskaelv had changed their name to Winterkou. When they became active again, they did so as two separate bands.

Years active:
early September 1999 - 2001 Jordskaelv
2001 - 20?? Winterkou
2019 - present Winterkou
20?? - present Jordskaelv
(I know archive.org says they changed their name in 2000. But at some point, I changed this date on MA to 2001. I don't remember where I found that information, but apparently 2001 is the correct date.)

Last-known contact:
duistermaanlicht@hotmail.com

Lineup:
Anzorgheian (aka Heidendoder) - Vocals, Keyboards (early), Everything (now)

Past members:
Ronald - Drums

The tracks on the 2021 versions are new material that was recorded in 2020 solo by Anzorgheian.

The SneeuwStorm-only version has a 1 panel inlay. The Extreme Records version has more but I'm not 100% how many (up to 4?)

Originally Bandcamp also used the CD-R artwork. It was changed at some point to its own unique artwork variant. (Note: The sales page for the CD-R shows the version without the album title written on it, but the actual product has the album title... Not sure what's going on here.)

The demo title translates to "it's 12 o'clock midnight" yet a close look at the left side of the cover art reveals it's actually 9:57. As you can tell, this band are dirty liars.

2021 RE-RELEASE VERSIONS
1) Mistig land
4:01, lyrics:
In wezen's rotte gronden
Groeit het zaad der innig kwaad
Verdoemd, verrot, verloren
Immer verdrenkt in haat

In de zwartgrijze mist
Schijnt een hoopvol ochtendgloren
Het einde van de nacht
Is dit een Godesteken?
een gebroken duivelsmacht?


2) Schim der neerslachtigheid
8:03, lyrics:
De dood doet zijn intrede
In het donkere land
De nachten zijn lang en duister
Er is geen hoop op betere tijden
Slechts op weg naar onheil
Als er gekeken wordt naar aards bestaan
Alles is eindig
Alles sterft

In een waas van duister schijnsel
De geest ziet niets van om hem heen
Alles mistig, zwart ondoorschijnend
De zin van alles is onbekend

Als een berg die wordt beklommen
Een helling veel te steil
Kruipend gaat men naar boven
Waar de dood op hen wacht
Zoals die wacht beneden
Na noodlottig ongeval
Getvimeld in de afgrond
Een kortstondige klim
Gebroken door de geest
Verhuld in duister
Gevangen in de mist


3) Onvruchtbare grond
3:56, lyrics:
Zoals de regen valt op de armoedige grond
Verwaalt het stof dat ons nergens bracht
Op weg naar de dood vanaf de eerste adem
Verloren in het oneindige niets

Als wij goden zijn, zijn wij verloren
Machteloos, hulpeloos
Zelfs verdoemd in ons eigen falen
Terugkerend naar de chaos
Is dit werkwlijk de wortel
Waarult wij ontsproten zijn?


4) Fjelse profjesie
3:35, see above for lyrics

5) Klokken er tolv midnat
7:38, see above for lyrics

6) Pa gensyn

Split with Winterkou. Originally I had marked this as an album that simply reused some tracks from their old name, but that was incorrect. It is confirmed to be a split.

The layout photos above are for the 2003 version. The cover photo was taken from somewhere ("foto gejat van een of andere site") but the rest of the layout was done by Heidendoder.

On the 2011 Unblack Metal Scene version, track 8 uses its full title, "Wjorke ine norse dorpe en pa gensyn".

6) Jordskaelv - Klokken er tolv midnat 7:36, see above for lyrics

8) Jordskaelv - Pa gensyn 3:22, see above for lyrics
I have a note that this had an untitled 9th bonus track. I'm not sure if this is correct or not.
