There are two bands named Futhark.
1) The band was created in Medellín as a project at the end of February of 2002 under the name of “Størmblast”, their main lyrical structure are Celtic, Viking and pagan mythologies with a touch of Norse black metal creating a different kind of metal never done in Colombia, by that time they began with the rehearsals and creation of hymns following the path of bands such as Cruachan, Isengard, Bathory, Manowar, Ragnarok (UK), Dimmu Borgir (For All Tid, Størmblast), Burzum, Storm and some other… the name Størmblast was changed to Futhark, because of some other bands using that name.
After some demo recordings, promotional gigs and many line-up changes, Futhark took a new horizon and left the folk vein in which the project begins…
They kept the spirit of paganism and diversity in musical composition, but in their songs you will find now less of folk structures, more aggressive guitar riffs and drumming, and bright bass guitar lines very clear, more variety of influences and rhythms which made sometimes hard to label the band in a proper style between one song and another.
New compositions made part of the new own labeled style heathen metal and the idea of a forthcoming debut CD kept clear in mind.
They began the recording though to be issued at fall of 2004 after the release of the maxi CD Ørlög, but sadly for the band almost all the recorded tracks were damaged in an accident… reason why nor Ørlög, nor For the glory of Vinland Debut CD could have seen the light yet; of this recording they only kept 3 songs, the same songs they’re using in their promo CD-R Futhark plus some live session tracks, recorded to be part of some compilation CD-R in their country.
