Minnesota’s wolves in black metal clothing
return with their landmark second album
"Anden om
Norr".
"Anden om Norr" - which
translates from Swedish to English as "The Spirit from
the North" epitomizes
CANIS DIRUS' epic song
writing based on their adoration of nature and their
beautiful surroundings in northern Minnesota. As with
their critically acclaimed debut,
"A Somber
Wind from a Distant Shore", the overall feel
and atmosphere of
"Anden" takes a
"depressing / melancholic" view of how humanity
continuously treats nature with contempt and disrespect.
Named after the "dire wolf" indigenous to North America
over 100,000 years ago,
CANIS DIRUS return with
fangs gnashing to claim the throne of US Black Metal
with the foreboding atmospheres of
"Anden om
Norr"!
