About this album

Gydja 2 tracks (50:31)
Consisting of two long tracks with a combined running time of about fifty minutes, Helchemy was released by the Italian label AFe in 2008.

The album title is a portmanteau combining the name of Hela, Germanic goddess of the dead, and the art of alchemy. As such, it considers the way in which imagery associated with alchemy can be related to Hela, particularly the motif of a venomous black toad that is found in many alchemical tracts. As an album concept, “Helchemy” is something that the author has explored for several years, creating a version of the release based on cassette experiments in the late nineties. Nothing of this version appears in the current incarnation, but the themes which first initiated the idea are there.

Helchemy comes packaged in a cardboard sleeve with artwork created by Gydja herself.
