Siguiendo con la línea de metal épico de su primer álbum, Sovengar nos ofrecen ahora un EP con cuatro temas que respiran la sangre y el polvo de legendarios campos de batalla, donde los guerreros combaten buscando la gloria por una causa justa.

Warlords of Metal trata de reyes de frías manos que esclavizan a su pueblo, pero para eso llegan los Warlords, dispuestos a restablecer el honor en el reino. Inmortal Warrior, guerreros desconocedores del miedo que luchan solos en cualquier lugar del mundo y que serán recordados cuando caigan. Sons of Thor, trata de una hermandad de guerreros que se une al considerar que los dioses los olvidaron tras utilizarlos en guerras para su entretenimiento; ahora son los hijos de Thor, el único dios que ama el Midgard, y hasta podrían vencer a los demás dioses en un campo de batalla. Y finalmente, Raise your sword, un poderoso himno de guerra de aquellos que sienten la muerte a su lado, pero no se entregan porque aun tienen muchas batallas que combatir con sus hermanos a lo largo y ancho del mundo.

Raise Your Sword

We will always be at war, we feel the death,

waiting to reach our glory.

Walking through a thousand kingdoms togheter, my son,

we know that triumph is coming.

I will sail seven seas to fight.

I will raid throughout lands,

with thousand brothers.

Raise your sword!

In your name I'll fight.

Raise your sword!

For the freedom of Kingdom.

Raise your sword!

In the hundred battles.

Raise your sword!

For the King of Thunder.

Raise your sword!

The march of the revenge hits the hearts of renegades.

Hell awaits souls on Earth.

Sweat and blood are the promise of our gods.

With the rage of our swords.

I will sail seven seas to fight.

I will raid throughout lands,

with thousand brothers.

Raise your sword!

In your name I'll fight.

Raise your sword!

For the freedom of Kingdom.

Raise your sword!

In the hundred battles.

Raise your sword!

For the King of Thunder.

Raise your sword!

Whisky Loki

Highland Park Valhalla Collection: Loki

In March, Highland Park unveiled Loki, the second release in the Valhalla Collection of four limited edition single malt whiskies. Loki follows on last year’s Thor, a 16-year-old whisky with a strength (52.1% ABV) and character befitting its Asgardian namesake, the hammer-wielding god of thunder. Loki was portrayed in Norse mythology as a shapeshifter and trickster, and the adoptive brother and archenemy of Thor. Loki’s treachery was foretold to one day bring about the fall of the gods in the great battle of Ragnarök.

The Valhalla Collection is named for the legendary “hall of the slain” that’s located in Asgard and ruled by Odin. The Nordic inspiration is no coincidence. The Highland Park distillery is the northernmost distillery in Scotland, located in Kirkwall, Orkney. The Orkney Islands were under Norwegian rule for nearly six hundred years, and today the Viking presence can be felt in everything from widespread place names to runic inscriptions.

Loki is a 15-year-old single malt bottled at 48.7% ABV, matured in both traditional Spanish sherry casks as well as heavily peated casks. As he did with Thor, Highland Park whisky maker, Max McFarlane, has once again created an expression that represents an individual’s personality traits, while retaining the signature Highland Park house profile.

Like its predecessor, Loki is presented in a striking wooden display case designed to evoke the sleek lines of a Viking longship.

The dragon heads are like those that were mounted on the bows of the longships, meant to strike fear in the enemy or ward off evil spirits.

The Loki display case, opened at the finge.

Magnets close the case and hold the mischievous Loki in place.

The golden-hued whisky offers a light nose of bitter orange peel, baked apple and lemon zest. On the palate, the peated cask asserts itself with prominent smoke, along with notes of citrus, sea salt and dark chocolate. The finish lingers with cloves, hickory and vanilla, with hints of honey and oak. Loki is a superlative and complex whisky, every bit the “shapeshifter” that’s promised in the press materials.

The Valhalla Collection is aimed squarely at the collector’s market—word is that each release will be increasingly limited, with pricing to match. Thor was limited to 23,000 bottles worldwide with a SRP of $199. Loki is limited to 21,000 bottles and is available through select whisky retailers, at the Highland Park distillery, and on the Highland Park website at a SRP of $249.

The Last Kingdom

The Last Kingdom es una adaptación de la serie de libros de Bernard Cornwell, llamada originalmente The Warrior Chronicles/Saxon Stories (en la edición española Sajones, Vikingos y Normandos), por el guionista Stephen Burchard para la BBC.

Es una co-producción entre BBC America, BBC Two y Carnival Films, que contará la historia de la Inglaterra sajona desde la llegada de los vikingos hasta la invasión de los normandos, dando especial importancia al nacimiento de la nación inglesa, bajo el mandato del rey Alfredo el Grande. 

La historia está protagonizada por Uhtred, hijo de un noble sajón adoptado por un vikingo, que continuamente tendrá que elegir entre ambos bandos, pero manteniendo en todo momento sus creencias en los dioses nórdicos, frente a una nobleza sajona cristianizada que se niega a reconocerle sus méritos guerreros o el derecho a recuperar las tierras de su padre.
