VÖLUR have released a video of the first single taken from their forthcoming full-length “Death Cult“, which has been slated for release on November 13th. The track and video of ‘Inviolate Grove’ tie in with the album’s concept that is loosely based on a note by the antique Roman historiographer Tacitus about a ritual of human sacrifice in his book “Germania”. ‘Inviolate Grove’ has been exclusively premiered by official media partner Metal Hammer (UK) at the link below.

VÖLUR comment: “This is the first single, ‘Inviolate Grove’ taken from our forthcoming album ‘Death Cult’, which will be released on Friday 13th in November”, says vocalist Lucas Gadke. “We made the video in collaboration with Sarah Legault, who supplied us with some dark and mysterious footage and Tim O’Reilly. This track, like the other three songs on ‘Death Cult’, is a variation on a theme, which is inspired by a Germanic ritual that the Roman author Tacitus described. Imagine entering a circle of trees. A priest approaches a veiled idol. The full moon rises, and the priest leads the idol to the water. In the video we see a living idol and the priest, in a different time yet still the same.“
