WYRDSTÆF: Prehistoric Metal, Ancestral Memory & Primordial Bloodlines | Ep. 189

Connor (Urzahn) of WYRDSTÆF joins Iblis Manifestations for a deep conversation on prehistoric humanity, ancestral memory, and the making of Primordial Bloodlines. In this episode, Shayan sits down with his longtime collaborator and WYRDSTÆF vocalist/lyricist Connor to explore the unique concept behind the band - blackened tribal metal rooted in the Paleolithic. They discuss the origins of the project, the story of a Stone Age tribe forced to migrate by the advancing ice age, the idea of “binaural history,” and what modern humans have lost in terms of connection to nature and ancestral knowledge. Connor also opens up about his 480,000-word dark fantasy novel and the upcoming release of Primordial Bloodlines on September 4th via Apocalyptic Witchcraft. Full episode now available to watch on YouTube.
