My first composition "Ictus Dolorosus" is a very melodic and hymnic song full of folkloristic influences and melodies.

Pagan Black Metal influenced by traditional folk music and ancient myths from allover the world
The word "Lifthrasireon" is a symbiosis of "Lifthrasir" and "Aeon". According to the Edda, Lifthrasir is the father of the coming race, which will rise after the Ragnarök, the twilight of the gods. "Aeon" is a greek word and means "age". With the name "Lifthrasireon" and my music I want to conjure up the age of Lifthrasir, the dawn of a new aeon. With my view of music I am representing exactly what will define this new aeon: Lifthrasireon stands for the quest for the musical expression of Teutonic heathendom and beliefs, it transports handed down folkloristic moods by modern metal music and modern instruments. This is representing what the future could look like: a new-aeonic heathendom. If Europeans set out on their quest for their old beliefs, the heathen religion of their ancestors and long past forgotten spirit, they will be able to combine tradition and modern age to a new-aeonic heathendom. As I am expressing traditional nordic moods by modern instruments, we all could express our ancient beliefs by modern art at all! The new aeon is nothing predestined, it is what we want to be it, and my idea is to make a new beginning by remembering our roots. Thats Lifthrasireon.

Story behind the song
I tried to orientate myself by traditional Skandinavian, nordic Folklore, to create my own "folk song" and to translate it into modern metal music, orcestrated with modern instruments. The song tells the story of the speer of destiny, Jesus Christ was stabed with by a Roman legionnaire while being crucified and which was ascribed supernatural forces to. "Dolorosus Ictus" contains pan flutes, an acoustic guitar part, shrieking black metal vocals and powerful drums, which remind one of the "Magni Blandinn Ok Megintiri"-album by Falkenbach.
