ITP V.013: METAL AT THE MOVIES PART 1: "ForeBears" by Marie Cachet and Varg Vikernes

ITP V.013 METAL AT THE MOVIES: PART 1 is back with a documentary entitled  "ForeBears" by Marie Cachet and Varg Vikernes (BURZUM) due to be unleashed on DVD 3/2013 via AMAZON.
BURZUM unleashed "Umpskiptar" 5/21/2012 on BYELOBOG PRODUCTIONS.





FROM BURZUM:
New film "ForeBears" by Marie Cachet and Varg Vikernes will be available on DVD on Amazon in March 2013. 

FROM ATALA: 

Varg Vikernes and I are working on an amateur and experimental motion film about the prehistoric Bear Cult and the Neanderthal case.
It will be available on DVD in march 2013 on Amazon.
To summarize the story, Varg Vikernes is thinking and discovers bit by bit what happened before. A kind of journey in reverse through time and in thought, to prehistoric time (about 30 000BC), up to a previous life when he was a little boy. Through what he lives again in this little boy, he understands the meaning of certain essential rituals of that prehistoric time, that still have a major influence on modern habits.


As some people asked, here is the translation of the text of the music in the trailer. It is a literal translation of the Voluspa from the book Sorcery and Religion in Ancient Scandinavia by Varg Vikernes
Gullaldr means Golden Age
56
Then came the honoured
the sound’s son
the mind’s son went
to fight the worm
killed him with courage
the sacred rain of the world in the middle
he clears all halls
in the inhabited world ;
walks nine feet
carries to the mountain
the dregradation of the worm
infamous refrain
57
The Sun turns black
the Earth sinks into the sea
thrown from the sky
bright stars ;
sparks sprays
and the fire is
playing tall and hot
by the sky itself
58
The swallower is barking loudly,
in front of the cave leaning over the hillside,
the ties/mounts are torn,
hardship is growing,
she knows that the flocks sing,
I look forward, even further,
to the end of the powers,
the destinity of the victorious god.
59
She sees rising on the other side
land from the sea
green again
waterfalls
eagle flying above
the one who on the mountains
catches fish
60
The spirits find
on the ground on the backwater field
and talks about the old Earth
the destinity of the powers,
and remember there
great things
and the great god’s
old secrets.
61
There they will later
strange
golden tablets
find in the grass,
which in the old days
were possessions of their kin.
62
With no sowing
the fields will grow
bad luck will be better
Baldr will come ;
live there Höðr and Baldr
Hrofts (Óðinn’s) victory fields
selected by the fallen/chosen gods.
Do you still know enough, or what ?
63
Then the temter (Freyr) chose
blood wood
and started to build
the double’s brothers
wide wind world
Do you still know enough or what ?
64
She saw a hall stand
decorated on the Sun
covered with gold
on the sea of gems ;
there the skilled
kings should build
and in the days of life
enjoy.
Here is the ForeBears’ trailer:

FROM KATATONIA:
Back in the U.S.A… That’s right, Springsteen! We’re looking at round #2 as special guests to our brothers in Opeth on their last North American leg of the Heritage world tour. This time we’ll mainly cover off-territories, so regardless if you caught or missed us last time, consider this a second chance to attend the dead ends of North America with one of the best bills there’ll ever be!

FROM OPETH: North American tour pre-sale happening now including a special date in Albany with Steven Wilson on April 28.http://opeth.artistarena.com/eventperformances.asp?evt=1

The ever-evolving Swedish band Opeth will return to North America in support of their most recent studio album, Heritage.  Released September 20, 2011, it garnered rave reviews from everyone from Rolling Stone  who called the album "a career record that reimagines prog as actual rock 'n' roll" to Pitchfork saying "a pretty, well thought out collection” to NPR who called it “equally vast, thoughtful and heavy.” The tour will kick off on April 18th in Buffalo and will take the band throughout North America on a 30+ city tour. Katatonia has been confirmed as direct support for the tour.

There will be several dates of note during Opeth’ s North American run.  On April 20th, Opeth will be making a stop to headline alongside Anthrax, Hatebreed and Suicidal Tendencies at the New England Metal & Hardcore Festival.  The April 28th show in Clifton Park, NY will see Åkerfeldt’s Storm Corrosion collaborator and friend Steven Wilson of Porcupine Tree join Opeth for a special evening that is not to be missed.  There will also be two rare and intimate evenings with Opeth planned for Music Hall of Williamsburg in Brooklyn on April 29th and The Roxy in Los Angeles on May 24th.  These shows will allow fans the unique opportunity to experience Opeth like never before.
