»Tåkeheimen« is the second single from the upcoming album »Kosmos brenner«, to be released on February 2nd.
In the great abyss, Ginnungagap, the lifeless primordial Yme floats and gives birth to jotun offspring by mating the right leg with the left leg. This threatens the balance and the gods therefore kill Yme, and from his body the world and the cosmos as we know it are created.

i Nivlheim
det mektige gap
Rimet klaker
verden braker

»Kosmos brenner« is a concept album based on the Norse worldview, where life in all its fragility arises in the eternal balance of opposites, between fire and ice, light and darkness, cold and heat, as a product of chaos and chance.
Life and world order can only exist and be maintained in the balance between these enormous forces of chaos, constantly fighting each other and constantly threatening our existence. The struggle is eternal and represents the past, present and future. In the great abyss, Ginnungagap, the lifeless primordial Yme floats and gives birth to jotunn offspring. This threatens the balance and the gods therefore kill Yme, and from his body the world and the cosmos as we know it are created.
