Uihtis by ARKHAAIK

On UIHTIS (the hunt), Arkhaaik - nomen est omen- explore the theme of hunting in a Bronze Age context. The album opts for an unconventional and refreshing approach, allowing it to rise from the ranks of a concept album and ascend to a truly metaphysical, yet distinctly human experience. In order to achieve this, the act of "the hunt" is explored on two distinct levels: While half of the album is dedicated to the very real act of hunting an animal and the ceremonial slaughter of the sacred creature, the other half takes a different approach by exploring the theme on a transcendental level – here the sun „hunts“ the moon and vice versa.

Witness the unearthed ancients, beholden to the almighty sky father, ruler of the daylit skies! Behold the mighty bull! In his veins, the blood of the ancients pounds with fervor, and reciprocating this fervor, we bathe in his gore. Through the spilling of his blood, we attatin ancient divinity.
