Eivør, a celebrated figure on the Faroe Islands’ music scene, has released 10 albums independently before Enn, the consistent quality of which was recognised when she was awarded the Nordic Council Music Prize in 2021. Over that time she has bridged gaps between electronica, folk and classical music, while also, as on 2020’s Segl, singing more in English than Faroese.
On her debut for metal-oriented label Season Of Mist, though, Eivør relies on singing in Faroese, and leans into a style that, while occasionally getting heavy on us, faintly echoes the windswept, widescreen symphonic metal vibe of some of her Nordic contemporaries.
