Entrancing Swedish singer Helga is dropping a new single this week, ‘In The Wilderness’ via the Icons Creating Evil Art (SWE) label. Helga’s mission and the track are a pleading call for care of Mother Earth, and the a harbinger of the dire consequences if we ignore the message. The track comes off of her new EP Nebulous. Moody, bleak and soulful sounding and writing from the confines of a cabin in the woods Dalarna, Sweden, Helga will remind you of some of the greats of the genre like Melissa Nadler, Emma Ruth Rundle, Anneke Van Giersbergen, Chelsea Wolfe, and Myrkur. Jam out to ‘In The Wilderness’ now!
Helga comments on the coming crisis the track delves into:
“clearly Trump’s environmental policy is alarming, leading this world to the path of destruction. We currently live under capitalist insanity. Mankind’s insatiable greed is slowly destroying this planet. We perceive ourselves as separate from nature and dominant over it and it’s incredibly sad. When will we ever realise that we are a part of the natural world and not superior to it? An overwhelming feeling of sadness is washing over me. Sometimes I wish Carl Sagan were still with us today. I’m sure he would have many great things to say.”
