Icelandic black metal formation Auðn are now releasing a brand new video for the song “Vökudraumsins fangi.” The clip contains stunning historic images of the band’s native Iceland, provided by the National Film Archive of Iceland // Kvikmyndasafn Íslands. The video was edited by Andri Björn Birgisson.
Auðn comment: ““Vökudraumsins fangi” is the title song of our new album and deals with what we perceive to be real until our minds decide otherwise. Waking up in another time, feeling someone else’s presence within your being with memories foreign to you, feeling trapped in a perpetual nightmare, you begin to wonder if the life you believe you’ve led even existed at all.”
The band’s third full-length record was released on October 30th, 2020. Listen to the album here or order a copy in the Season of Mist shop.
