The creativity of NORD'N'COMMANDER
are actuated by Indo-European roots. The band finds rhythmic and melodic orienting
points just in them. The tough marching rhythms are Archetypes of Uebermenschs
Action. The style of album "Heavenly Barrow" is Gothic / Industrial.
Gothic involves elevation of style which is expressed in doom and majestic sounds
of keyboards, in something otherworldly, cold vocals. Besides Gothic is not only
the historical notion but also the philosophical one. Its the special condition
of Spirit. The mission of thinking and conceiving modern people is to live in
this technocratic "sub-civilization". Not only to exist passively in
it, but subordinate it for themselves. If were here and now its not by accident.
We have to be cultural and civilized simultaneously. This is the philosophical
filling of the album. And thus some "industriality" is threaded with
elevated gothic atmosphere. One can hear it quite clearly in guitar and drum sound.
Creation like this is an active defence against metastases of degenerative world
of the "poor in spirit". And the best defence is an onrush. In "Heavenly
Barrow" there is the idea of City as a sacred centre which lives in harmony
with nature and Man-Creator. Nordic Gods are breaking through the "civilization
of machines and asphalt".
