Agent Fresco Destrier

Dear friends,

The realisation that Destrier, our second album, is now ready for release in less than three months (7th of August) is incredibly overwhelming. We can’t believe that the long wait is almost over!

The emotional trigger for this album was a disgusting encounter with violence that I had a couple of years ago. See Hell raises questions about the nature of violence, the act of revenge and its consequences. Waking up and going to sleep with intense anger and angst is such a heavy weight on your heart but I wanted to stay close to these raw emotions and feed off them when making the album, so I kept them animated throughout the entire process. In hindsight, I now realize that it got a bit out of hand that in the end, I almost fell victim to my own personal Stockholm syndrome, and this is what we wanted to capture in the music video.

I’ve wanted to collaborate with the Icelandic actor Arnar Dan for some time now, and after working with him on pre-production and being with him on set, I can proudly say he fucking nailed the song with his performance in the video. Being my emotional Doppelgänger always made sense, though, given that our names are almost identical. It was just meant to be!

Thank you all for your love and support. Please join us in making some noise!

Love,

Arnór Dan, Hrafnkell, Vignir & Þórarinn.
