about

Dear lovely people,

19 years ago I've written a song called "Legenden" (engl. "legends") in German language for my 2nd ever Valdkynd-demo. As I recently felt like re-recording this particular song (check out my version with keyboard and voices on YouTube: youtu.be/x0EB18K6da4) and noticed that its chromatic shifts could make it work really well as a metal song, I asked my friend of 20 years, Setril (who is a metal musician, known for his former project Weidenbaum, which is now called Withania), if he would be up for a collaboration and he said yes! :) The song is from a time when we played a lot of music together and this felt indeed, as he said, like a celebration of our 20 year old friendship.

I know I am known for softer music than this, but I really hope you enjoy this more powerful and intense rendition of my song and what my dear friend Setril added to it.

Lots of love and only the very best for 2024,
Valdkynd/Syl

lyrics

Zwischen Dolmen kreischen Raben
in den Dünen, mythengleich...
Windessang geht durch die Gräser,
Farbenspiel am Himmel, bleich...

Farnumwachsen wild verborgen
ruhn Legenden, unbekannt,
von den Dingen ferner Tage
aus dem alten Keltenland...

In Ruinen singen Tauben,
weinumwuchert im Verfall
ragen sie in Mondesnächte,
laden Nachtgetier zum Ball...

Waldumrandet still behütet
ruhn Legenden, unbekannt,
von den Wesen ferner Tage
aus dem alten Meeresland...
