FROM DOOM HEART:
!!! BREAKING !!!
Ladies & Gentlemen…
We are beyond honored to announce this year Doom Heart Festival's Headliner, in cooperation with Dragon Productions!
One of the best doom metal bands on the scene, and of the history of the genre: from the Faroe Islands, Hamferð!!!
Hamferð is a Faroese term for the living images of sailors appearing before their loved ones. Written recordings of these apparitions are a recurrence within the toilsome and sorrowful depths of Faroese history, and this is where Hamferð, the band, draws its inspiration. Echoing through crawling, thunderous marches of blight and wails of melancholic isolation are the greatly unexplored darker recesses within the soul of the island people. Love, loss and solitude compose the core of the bands poetic lyricism, and all is presented through funereal figures, taking the stage with mournful silence. In the band's short lifetime of 4 years, Wacken Metal Battle winners Hamferð have achieved a lot. Founded in 2008 for a Global Battle of the Bands event, the band lay dormant for a year before recording their first demo containing two tracks during the fall of 2009, one of which accidentally landed at #1 on the Faroese radio charts for three weeks during the spring of 2010. In February 2010 Hamferð won an annual upcoming band-competition in Tórshavn called Sement, which gave Hamferð a chance to perform at some of the larger events during the festival summer such as G! Festival and Summarfestivalurin. In December 2010, the debut EP “Vilst er síðsta fet” was released and has received great reviews so far. 2011 was a very active year for Hamferð. In January the band toured The Faroe Islands to promote their debut release, and during the summer Hamferð toured Iceland and The Faroe Islands with Viking-metal band Skálmöld, most notably performing at the cult festival of Eistnaflug and at G! Festival for a second successive year. Hamferð returned to Iceland in October to play Iceland Airwaves, and in November they joined Moonsorrow, Týr and Crimfall on a stretch of the Dead Tyrants Tour through Europe, garnering much praise despite being the odd one out on the tour. Currently writing material for the first full-length album, Hamferð stride on without mercy. The band landed a slot at Wacken Open Air 2012 as a part of the Wacken Metal Battle competition, which Hamferð went on to win against contestants from 29 other countries, making it the biggest competition in the world for unsigned metal bands! The band has signed an international management deal and an international booking deal, which means that 2013 promises to be the most exciting year in Hamferð’s career so far. The journey has only just begun...
Hamferð refers to an apparition: the image of a person facing death, appearing before his or her loved ones as an omen.
“Faroese doom metal” is a powerful sound. Exclusive to this self-styled tag is Hamferð. For a near decade, the funeral dressed sextet has been casting a unique expression rooted in conceptual tragedy and intense, narrative doom metal.
“Hamferð is heavily inspired by our natural surroundings and our cultural heritage. Those aspects combine into unique feelings and atmospheres which we attempt to describe through our music”, comments guitarist Theodor Kapnas.
Faroese history and folklore are mixed together with grand atmospheres, a trademark that has earned worldwide attraction. Stages at festivals such as Inferno, Midgardsblot, Tuska, Summer Breeze, Wacken and many more have been turned into funerary ceremonies. Touring with bands like Amorphis and Moonsorrow has further garnered the band a respected reputation due to strong yet solemn live performances.
The lyrical and conceptual approach is ambitious in scope. People are drawn to it, even though the band sings in their native tongue, Faroese. With a highly engaging idea concerning lyrics and songwriting, the hour has arrived to close a conceptual trilogy which commenced with the 2010 EP ‘Vilst er síðsta fet’, continued with the internationally acclaimed 2013 full-length album ‘Evst’, and is now concluded with the new album yet to be announced.
About the Ódn EP:
Ódn
As a celebration of our 10 years of existence, we present the very first Hamferð-song, first
performed in the Autumn of 2008 and never before published. It is built from three very
different sections which still represent our music today: one part foreboding, one part violent
and one part elegiac. The parts follow the narrative of a sailor over three chapters; first braving
an increasingly stormy ocean, then reflecting on a long life sailing the very seas that now
threaten his life, and finally surrendering to the waves. The title translates to “violent storm” or
“hurricane”.
Deyðir varðar:
A man wanders the misty mountains in search for his lost son: A fitting story to tell during an
eclipse over the Faroese mountainscape. Deyðir varðar, originally from our album ‘Evst’, was
the ideal song for this event, and this is the raw, unbridled performance, delivered above the
village of Kvívík on a cold morning in March, 2015.
