Nordvis

Nordvis Record label based in the heart of Swedish Sápmi Nordvis Produktion is a Swedish art curation project founded in 2006.

We strive to embody the pioneering spirit of the frontiersmen who once carved themselves a home out of the harsh and unforgiving Lappish taiga. Of equal importance is upholding the same reverence and awe for Mother Nature as the Sami custodians of these beautiful lands have always lived by. In this union of grit and ingenuity with a profound, animistic outlook, we hope to provide our artists the b

est opportunities to break new ground with their music. And, in turn, promote both inspiration and nature-oriented principles

As a label, Nordvis seeks to gather a collective of musicians who have similar values and whose artistic output reflects their lifestyles. We are not bound by genres, but rather shared ideals, and gladly embrace whatever style can celebrate the consistency of melancholy and unique atmospheres. Our headquarters is located on a remote farm in the back country of the northernmost Swedish province of Lapland. We also operate a well-stocked mail-order from our warehouse in Arvidsjaur, a small town forty kilometres away.

Out now: EITR – “Kvasis Dreyri”, CD/Digital

For more than fifteen years, Nachtzeit has explored the atmospheric fringes of black metal through his main project, Lustre. Emerging in 2008, the one-man project quickly carved out a distinctive sound: minimalistic, lo-fi compositions where layers of keyboards form the backbone. The result is music that often feels closer to ambient than traditional black metal – mesmerising, hypnotic, and built around melodies steeped in nostalgia, mysticism, and nature.

With Eitr, Nachtzeit takes this atmospheric sensibility one step further. Where Lustre still retains the distant pulse and distortion of black metal, Eitr strips away the remaining traces of the genre, focusing entirely on immersive ambience. The result feels like a more archaic, distinctly Nordic counterpart to Lustre’s dreamlike soundscapes.

The project’s second full-length, “Kvasis Dreyri”, draws its inspiration from Norse mythology and the legendary mead of poetry created from the blood of Kvasir. Across nine pieces named after the myth’s sacred vessels – Óðrærir, Són, and Boðn – the album comes to life through melancholic synthesiser melodies, subtle percussion, patient repetition, and vast ambient textures.

Nachtzeit commented:

I’ve been a big fan of B*rz*m’s ‘prison albums’ since long before people started referring to this kind of music as dungeon synth, when it was still commonly described as dark ambient. Eitr is simply a sign that the magic I felt when I first heard those records still lives in me more than twenty years later.

Out now: Panopticon – “Det hjemsøkte hjertet”, CD/DLP/Digital

Austin Lunn’s journey carried Panopticon from the urban density of Louisville to the remote northern reaches of Minnesota. It is here, surrounded by a landscape both inspiring and endangered, that “Det hjemsøkte hjertet” took shape. The album follows an elder hermit in the final week of his life, interweaving childhood memories with a lament for an ecosystem transformed by modern encroachment.

Order: https://nordvis.lnk.to/panopticon

Dense, atmospheric, and unmistakably cinematic, “Det hjemsøkte hjertet” (‘The Haunted Heart’) shifts from the icy aggression of earlier works into something richer and more saturated – a palette of purples and burning oranges fading into dusk. The folk instrumentation once associated with Panopticon has largely receded, giving way to tones reminiscent of Neil Young & Crazy Horse.

The metal foundation remains, but the record’s strength lies in composition rather than speed: layered arrangements, long-form dynamics, and a strong narrative undercurrent. A full orchestral presence runs throughout, with Charlie Anderson’s string performances adding both gravity and movement. Each song features a different guest vocalist – Aaron Charles (Falls Of Rauros, Rhun), Jan Evan Åsli (Vemod), and Jan 'Winterherz' Van Berlekom (Waldgeflüster) among them – introducing distinct colours without compromising cohesion.

At heart, “Det hjemsøkte hjertet” is an elegy: for wilderness altered beyond recognition, for childhood memories fading into myth, and for a life spent in quiet communion with a world slipping away. Atmospheric black metal, post-black metal, or somewhere between them – Panopticon remains defined not by genre, but by the land that shapes its voice.

Out now: Iterum Nata – “Heartwood”, CD/LP

From the quiet desolation of earlier Iterum Nata now rises something heavier – more aggressive and defiant. With “Heartwood”, Finnish multi-instrumentalist Jesse Heikkinen (The Abbey, Henget, ex-Hexvessel) reshapes his progressive rock and neo-folk foundations through the crucible of metal, layering doom-laden riffs and blackened textures upon the project’s introspective core.

To give this vision its pulse, Heikkinen enlisted Ukrainian drummer Yurii Ciel (Stoned Jesus, Cailleach Calling, ex-White Ward), whose expressive performance transforms “Heartwood” into the most visceral Iterum Nata release to date. Together they carve a sound both expansive and immediate: progressive journeys steeped in folk atmosphere, driven by the weight and force of metal.

The record also features rare guest appearances: King Dude lends his commanding voice to “Forgiveness Undone”, Alexander Kuoppala (ex-Children of Bodom) unleashes a searing solo in “I Have Been Sacrificed”, and Sami Hynninen (Reverend Bizarre) delivers an unearthly vocal in “Only Ash and Bones Remain”.

“Heartwood” is an album hewn from fury yet tempered by revelation. Where past Iterum Nata releases drew from solitude and sorrow, here the wellspring is anger – but anger that points beyond itself, toward beauty, hope, and transcendence. It is a meditation on the spiritual war within the collective unconscious, channelled through music that flows between Anathema and My Dying Bride, Opeth and In the Woods…, Pink Floyd and Green Carnation.

Jesse commented:

When I began creating “Heartwood”, my main emotions were anger and resentment. As the process played out, certain personal events slowly shifted me from a dark, hateful place into a world of bliss and beauty. You can hear these extremes merging throughout “Heartwood”, where the answer to everything is acceptance. Sometimes it is better to let the whole world burn.
