REBELLION are going to release their historical concept album about the history of the Saxons, called "Wyrd Bið Ful Aræd - The History Of The Saxons", later this month. The band has now revealed further details about the album. You can listen below to the brand new song “Hengist”. Bassist Tomi stated:
"The title of this album is taken from the Old English poem “The Wanderer” and means something like 'you cannot escape your fate'. The background of most songs on our album is based on solid historical facts: The first song “Irminsul”, for example, gives an account of the social and tribal meaning of the annual Althing for the Saxons."
An extended commentary about the album's historical background is available in the album's booklet. The album was recorded, mixed and mastered by Oliver Geibig at Tone Town Music, and produced by Oliver Geibig and Tomi Göttlich. Hanspeter Ludwig is responsible for the cover artwork. REBELLION's new album "Wyrd Bið Ful Aræd - The History Of The Saxons" will be released on September 25th, 2015 via Massacre Records.
