The EP features the previously unreleased title track on side A and a bare-bones rendition of 'Dey≡ir var≡ar' on Side B, both performed live on unique occasions. Comments the band: "As a celebration of our 10 years of existence, we present the very first Hamfer≡-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'." Hamfer≡ about the B-side 'Dey≡ir var≡ar': "A man wanders the misty mountains in search for his lost son: A fitting story to tell during an eclipse over the Faroese mountainscape. Dey≡ir var≡ar, originally from our album 'Evst', was the ideal song for this event, and this is the raw, unbridled performance, delivered above the village of Kvφvφk on a cold morning in March, 2015." A superb fifteen minutes of powerful Doom and Death combining effortlessly with a quieter, emotional side, ╙dn serves to whet the appetite perfectly for the band's next full-length release. - -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ -- -
