The Flight of Sleipnir

The Flight of Sleipnir was formed in the winter of 2007 by David Csicsely (Acheronian Dirge, Nexhymn, ex-Throcult) and Clayton Cushman (Acheronian Dirge, ex-Throcult). The project stemmed from a desire to explore ethereal and progressive sounds with lyrics that explore the rich literature of ancient Scandinavia. Keeping elements of their other projects and building a foundation upon doom and vintage metal, they released the demo “Wisdom Calls For Sacrifice” in 2008. After the release, a debut live appearance took place on the winter’s solstice, which has since become an annual occasion. Immediately after the performance, the duo started forging their debut album “Algiz + Berkanan,” a concept record exploring the secrets of the aforementioned runes which has since then been officially released on No Colours Records.
