about

Aelfric tells the story of Garman Lord and the beginnings of Theodish Belief in the true eldritch mead-hall style; a masterwork of the scop's craft! The vocals are poems/songs in the Anglo-Saxon language accompanied by the Anglo-Saxon harp, penny whistle, drum and other instruments.

A PDF of the lyrics in Anglo-Saxon (Old English) and modern English translation is included with the purchase of the full album. If you only buy single tracks or if you only need the lyrics, the lyric booklet PDF is available above under Merch.

AElfric Ashcroft, British Columbia

This music is sung in the ancient languages of Anglo-Saxon and Gothic, using the traditional ancient poetic verse form such as that found in the Anglo-Saxon epic poem Beowulf, that was used by the Scops (Bards) of old. He has also published 3 books about the Gothic tradition (see Lulu link below). ... more

I waited for a second tape edition, but now, after the debut is released, I have to realize, that I quite certain missed one of the best neofolk demos made ever... But fortunately we live in a digital age, where material values dissolve more and more, so I can enjoy this great music without having something physical! Ädäm
