Heavy, downtuned Sabbathian riffs, occasionally with sludgy vocals in the likes of Eyehategod/ Weedeater. The lengthy last track (18 minutes) really smoked my brain with instrumentals reminicient of the hypnotic driven OM vibe. Aside from the great influences, Völva crafted a really honest & true sound. So go ahead and check out what Iceland has to offer with this piece of gloomy doom, you won't be disappointed. A Völva is a female magic practitioner found in Old Norse-Icelandic Literature. Völur (plural of Völva) are found both in mythological material (The Prose and the Poetic Edda) and in later historical and pseudo-historical works (Sagas of the Icelanders, King's Sagas). Völur are most often described as seeresses magically peering into the future. Not to be confused with Völva from Sweden who play Black Metal. https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/V%C3%B6lva/3540314287
