The Über Rock Singles Club – Feverish February (Volume Two)

Welcome to the latest edition of the Über Rock Singles Club. We have managed to keep the Club up-and-running despite the numerous Covidications which we all have had to endure over the past 24 months, in order to bring you the hottest new sounds around. And once again we have another hitlist of superb sonic experiences to tickle your sonic senses, with a selection of my favourite tunes to have found their way on to the ÜRHQ deathdecks over the past couple of weeks… Bearing in mind that, despite the new rock ‘n’ roll year still being slightly less than a month old, we received more than 400 submissions, it was not an easy task to whittle them down to this all-too-short playlist of just a handful musical gems…

The album comes in the form of nine tracks, and what appears to be a “full score”, at least on the Spotify release, which is the entire album recorded as a single track with no specific breaks.

Sowulo – ‘Mann’/’Sol’ (By Norse Music)

Sowulo are a Dutch dark folk band that makes modern day Viking music. Their ritual music is designed to take you on an inner journey. It’s all built upon the rune ‘Sowulo’, which represents the sun. According to his bio, Sowulo founder Faber Horbach intentionally invokes his inner warrior, lover, king and magician, and hopes it will help you to do the same. This double album is all about growing into a mature human being by connecting with the power of the four archetypes, and consciously walking together with them on the adventure we call the wheel of life. These compositions express his interpretation of the four archetypes which he connects to the four seasons within and without, and so they follow the cyclical nature of ‘Mann’ (we would also like to point out that ‘Mann’ is derived from the ancient Germanic word which translates as humans and is not gender specific).
