about

Kvædemanden digter en nedværdigende vise om en dårlig dommer.

Da dommeren spørger om det er ham der har lavet den vise, sir han

at den skal læses bagfra. Læst bagfra roser den ham - læst forfra,

anklager den ham. Islandsk vise fra 1500 tallet.


The bard makes up a degrading rhyme about a bad judge. When the

judge asks the bard if it’s him that made up the rhyme, he denies it

and reads it backwards. The rhyme can be read both forwards and

backwards. Read forward it accuses the judge, read backwards it

praises him. Icelandic ballad from the 16th. century.

lyrics

sóma stundar aldrei ann

illu pretta táli

dóma grundar hvergi hann

hallar réttu máli


máli réttu hallar hann

hvergi grundar dóma

táli pretta illu ann

aldrei stundar sóma

about

Krauka Aarhus, Denmark

This is some hard-edged, macho, Viking stuff. Using implements of destruction and pillage ranging from hide drums to shawms to jew’s harps to chainsaws and axes, this Nordic quintet hacks into the Scandinavian permafrost.
