Gaahls WYRD Announces New Album ‘Braiding The Stories’, Title Track Streaming Now

Earlier today, legendary ex-Gorgoroth (and a whole lot of other projects) vocalist Gaahl announced that his project Gaahls WYRD is back and a new album is coming this June. Not only that, but he’s dropped the album’s title track, “Braiding The Stories”.

This upcoming release will be Gaahls WYRD’s follow up to their 2019 debut album GastiR – Ghosts Invited. Speaking of the album itself, Gaahl compared it to his previous works.

“Musically, it’s unique. It’s not necessarily connected to GastiR and The Humming Mountain. Those albums are connected to very earthly elements, the natural flow of things. This album is another dimension—behind the veil, if you will.

“I remember I wanted to release ‘And the Now’ as the first single, but there’s probably too much information to be the first track out. Throughout this album, I use a lot of different voices, and I’ve thought a lot about how all these different characters fit [into the music]. So, I wanted the listener to fall into the album, not be distracted, and I think I’ve accomplished that. It’s cinematic.”

Gaahls WYRD will release Braiding The Stories on June 6 via Season of Mist, but you can pre-order and/or pre-save your copy today.
