release notes:

Völva plays a vintage style of stoner/doom mixed with some deep
psyschedelic elements. 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.
