projectm Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 (edited) I started a new band last summer, making a cross over between metal dub and ambient music, I guess. The really interesting thing is we have a singer of the Sami/Sapmi people, the indigenous people in Scandinavia, performing Joik for the vocals. We think it is pretty cool. We have a bunch of songs written for an album to be released late summer (we hope). This song, “Fimbulvetr”, was recorded in various places, mixed in Cubase. I’m curious to hear what you think.

Yeah, I can agree with that. It also needs a better recording of the vocals, so we’ll try that next time too ? Thanks for checking it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wookiee Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Mix sounds balanced, didn't understand a word, like Nigel the vox could be a little more forward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s actually no words in the vocals. Joik is an emotional vocal style, I guess, and very rarely has any words. The closest he gets to any actual words is the “wah-wah-wah” phrase he does in the choruses which represents the wolf. On a side note, Fimbulvetr, the long winter before Ragnarok, was caused by the Fenris Wolf eating the sun. But he just do this joik thing after how the song makes him feel - which to me is a very powerful way of singing. And as far as we know, it hasn’t been done like this in a band setting before. Thanks for checking it out and commenting, Wookiee. I still check out your Sound Cloud when you drop something new Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wookiee Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 @projectm the "couldn't understand a word" comment a tongue in cheek joke, I was wondering if we were to get some throat singing. Which I always find intriguing and fascinating. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does throat singing as well (I am currently practicing it my self) and he’ll be doing that on the album 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
