The Trollcastle (Trollslottet)

 

Of obscure path in many mile-woods is told in the mountaintale

A scrubby trail which are flanked by female trolls that has been turned to stone

In the work of brances of winds' anxiety, desolate complaining is heard

What lurks beyond the next bend, beyond fen-firelight?

Your fear is greater than to become predatory food

When you trample the pathway in a mysterious labyrinth

In coiling, struggling walk, an endless thrall-toil

Through the kettlevalley's depth, up towards high peak

 

At it's end the immense shadow gladdens human eye

Tempts trollishly in the evening-tow, with castlelike silhouette

With drawbridge over moat, the towers shines high

As from a beacon, the strong lightplay have dressed the triumphal arch

A --- kingdom, in the wide coats of the clouds

Down below the midnight blaze's court is seen wandering

Heavy steps up the ancient templestairs of the mountain

When farmhand-sun goes high in the sky, they praise the night's recess

 

Chorus:

In the trollcastle

The trollcastle, abode of the storywinds

The trollcastle

The trollcastle

 

The shadows' runepoem from this cluster

A bleak hymn of ore-tone voices from pagan vaults

The horrible primeval trolls in northern idiom now sings

For this ancient form's entities, the mountain itself quakes

 

As prey in stonelaid realm, supiciously you are watched

The reversed images in sight, even your words

And never shall you be pardoned from the claws of the ancient castle

Because you were treated to the magic forgetful potion at the troll-king's table

 

Chorus:

In the trollcastle

The trollcastle, abode of the storywinds

The trollcastle

The trollcastle

 

 

 

 

Seasons (Årstider)

 

Summer:

Now it flutes around the needle-works' bushy mane

In lichen-accrued branches in pines and spruce

Resin-streams dashes forth in barkfurrows bank

And moss wreaths the root of the stem

 

Autumn:

The storm´s spiritvoices through the red leafhall

Where dwarf-birches flames in the autumnal glow

The combat-greedy deity brings the summer distress

Fallen leaves dances in the wind

 

Chorus:

In delightful folk costume

By time of four powers

Where the slab lies runed

Of poets, greatest is the north

And it's never insulted

A royal completion

 

Winter:

Frost has throned mountainworld and embedded the land in snow

Crystallic ice-desert along it's bank

The harsh winter cold stifles like a robber baron's hand

The blood freezes, for it slays

 

Spring:

The cold loosens it's noose around lake and agriculture

The bitter wolfweather is turned

The rays of the sun has re-kindled the ground's lustre

Around creeks the watersmoke hollers

 

Chorus:

In delightful folk costume

By time of four powers

Where the slab lies runed

Of poets, greatest is the north

And it's never insulted

A royal completion

Gnomes and Giants (Vättar och Jättar)

 

Traces are seen run on the icelake's floes

Now the gnomes proceeds forth in gentle chamber

Familyspirits marches on frozen, narrow channels

To, as from the saga, shall serve the northern people

 

The district they bless against mountaingiants might

Swordletters, they whispers, they are on guard

As dreamy figures, around corners they whirl

In the wintersharp snowfall with yardlike chores

 

During the day they slumber in frostgilded slab

They carry the magic source towards giants' journeyman

Which in yearning trips fulminate with soulslaying roar

It's tounge, it's echoing scream are led by wind from the North

 

Stand up all gnomes! From the mountainhills castle

So from snow, life is conjured, where ice ages reigned

Incantation songs are mumbled as defense for people and animals

A wildly furious crowd of female trolls fights against invisible wall

 

Chorus:

In berserk

They hurl boulders against the village

To silence the protecting song

 

A fight between gnomes

and the giants of the primordial mountain

 

Chorus:

In berserk

They hurl boulders against the village

To silence the protecting song

I evo objasnjenja na pitanje koje sma postavio ranije, pronasao sam odlican sajt koji objasnjava mnogo toga vezanog za Otyg.

 

 

The Devil And The End

 

After "Sagovindars Boning", the band went quiet for some time, but at last broke

the silence with the news that Vintersorg was planning to write a sort of concept

album, simply entitled "Djävulen" ("The Devil") and it would focus on how the Devil

was viewed from different angles during different eras of Scandinavian history. But

sadly, the Devil was nowhere to be found and in March 2002, Vintersorg and Mattias

announced the dreadful truth that they had lost all current enthusiasm for Otyg and

instead of recording a half-hearted album, they decided to put the band to sleep.

Vintersorg has stated that Otyg simply is on hold and that the band might eventually

do a new recording in the future if the time is right.

After The End

 

What's been going on since 2002 then?

First and foremost, the spirit of Otyg have been kept alive by a couple of enthusiastic

fans gathering and talking on the Official Vintersorg Forum. Fellow Dutch forum-

guy Zwendelaer have not only added three live-videos from Otyg's last concert ever

on his YouTube-page - he also provided the entire forum with audio from the same

concert. Together with the artwork of [sorry, I forgot your name man ;)], this

resulted in the Otyg bootleg "Live In Asten-Heusden" album. Not only is the album

a display of the musical wonders of Otyg, it also features the never-released track

"Gastkramad" ("Ghosthugged") which was intended to be on "Djävulen".

Also in 2008, Napalm Records released the two full-length's in a 2-CD package, which

sadly doesen't have any new artwork or photos. And this is were we are today...
