Fram þahainai by Vermeira
A musical journey to explore spiritual landscapes.
𐍆𐍂𐌰𐌼 𐌸𐌰𐌷𐌰𐌹𐌽𐌰𐌹 (Fram þahainai) means "from silence" in the Gothic language, which is the oldest Germanic language attested in written sources. The album represents a transformation that happens once a person breaks out of their spiritual silence and starts interacting with forces that lie beyond our physical perception of the world.
