By definition a grimoire is a book of magical
knowledge. Such a book may contain lists of angels and demons,
directions on casting charms and spells, on mixing medicines,
summoning unearthly entities, and making talismans. Grimoires contain
secret knowledge and have been in use since ancient times.
The grimoire of VALHALL is inspired by,
but not limited to, such knowledge. It draws its power from the
ancient and the current, from the arcane and the technological. It
serves to give the listener excerpts of fantasies and folklore, myths
and truths, dreams and nightmares. Grimoire is a collection of
electronic darkwave songs, wrapped in a coat of witchhouse and
neofolk, that VALHALL is known for.
Some songs on 'Grimoire' features guest violin
contributions by Jessica Pimentel (Maria Ruiz in Orange is the
New Black), lead singer of the Brooklyn-based metal band Alekhine's
Gun. Pimentel also recently contributed violins to Origin's
Nuclear Blast release 'Unparalleled Universe' and has said that
Valhall is one of her favourite bands.
