Both members of Jordfäst have roots that reach deep beneath the forests of Småland, Sweden. However, their branches reach all the way from the vast Scanian fields to the frost-covered mountains of Tromsø. The duo became part of the Nordvis community after reaching out in late 2020; having followed the label for over fifteen years, they were convinced that Nordvis would be the perfect fit for Jordfäst. After listening to their music and reading the lyrics, label manager Andreas Pettersson agreed.
As with many acts on the Nordvis roster, the forces of nature play a significant role in Jordfäst’s thematic content. What sets them apart is the focus on her destructive qualities – in particular how they tend to humble mankind. Another focal point is that of humanity’s tendency to treat one another even worse than we do the natural world. All material is composed and arranged to bring immersion and depth to the tales enacted through the lyrics. This formula makes for a highly versatile and varied work, steeped with the desperate echoes from the grim past of bygone Scandinavia.
