A unique, nearly-nameless entity from Sweden, FŌR create sepulchral black/death metal from uniquely-located, surely-nameless depths. Their Kundaz debut album appeared seemingly out of nowhere in early 2013, and now arrives the Blakaz Askǭ Hertô 12" MLP via IRON BONEHEAD PRODUCTIONS. Devoted to the Germanic black witch Gullveig and her Thursian bloodline of ravenous hordes of wolves and werewolves, the concept of FŌR 's music is based upon the sacred bindrune, Ulfhamir, and pursues to invoke the black wolf-spirit within. FŌR accomplish this with ceaselessly churning, mercilessly morbid, nearly amorphous BLACK/DEATH that's dusted with the ruins of industry/industrial. From there, across Blakaz Askǭ Hertô FŌR awaken the savage beast and invoke the dark, vile blood from her veins: the eitr of Niflheim itself, the wrath of monstrosities that dwell within the night, behind the trees in the shadow. An invocation of pure lycanthropic wisdom, obey the bloody, pitch-black call of FŌR's Blakaz Askǭ Hertô...

Fōr Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
今日も誰かのために 考えすぎたやさしさは 虚しく空回り
嘘がつけないところがよく似てると あなたは笑うけど
一人でも 大丈夫なふり したのは 嘘でした
あなたに恋をしてもいいですか
誰か教えてほしい こんな気持ちに なるのが 本当の恋ですか
恥ずかしいくらい ドキドキしている
遅すぎる初恋が 始まりました
もっとゲームみたいに 周りは恋しているのに
変に真面目なせいで 運命なんか信じてる 痛い乙女なのに
大切に自分を守り続けたこと 誇りに思ってと
真っ直ぐに 私を見つめて あなたは つぶやいた
この溢れる涙は恋ですか
初めての感情に 戸惑うだけで 頭の中じゃ出来たことが
今日もまた少しも 出来ないまま
可愛いい言葉も あざとい仕草も
遅すぎる初恋に 難しすぎて
心の壁にそっと (wow) もたれて休みましょう (wow)
壁越しに二人で 背中合わせ 話をしよう
あなたに恋をしてもいいですか
私はもう私に 嘘はつかない
手を少し繋いでもいいですか
誰か教えて欲しい こんな気持ちに なるのが 本当の恋ならば
今日までにしてきた 恋もどきの
輝きが全部 まぼろしに見える
遅すぎる初恋が 始まりました
The lyrics to Fōr's song II tell the story of a man who finds himself on a ship that is doomed to sink with billions of gallons of water on board. Some people thought he was crazy for not giving up, but to him, it was all about guts. He decided to go full speed ahead to destinations unknown, and as the excitement began, he opened up his eyes to a whole new world.
He found himself on an island, living off the land and building himself a hemp shack in case of attack, which was fully equipped with a killer eight-track. He even had a chimp named Chong and busted rhymes at night on his turtle shell guitar, feeling like an island rockstar. However, one day, the pirates came and burned everything, taking his island friends away and promising to make them slaves by the end of the day.
He had to think quick and decided to sneak onto the pirate ship in the dead of night, overtake the guard, grab all the guns, and pocket some of the ammunition. He ran through the jungle, came across a medicine man who had spoken to the animals and insects, and together they marched back to the pirate ship at the brink of dawn. They freed the slaves, played for days, and now they're here to stay as rocking island rockstars.
Overall, the lyrics are a tale of resilience, determination, and the courage to keep going in the face of adversity. It shows that even in the bleakest of situations, there is always a way out if you're willing to be resourceful, take risks, and believe in yourself.
