O Saala Sakraal - Oastar

Oastar marks the long-awaited third manifestation of O Saala Sakraal, the ceremonial vessel guided by nOh v°v (of Trepaneringsritualen and Norn) and Sunnifa St. Álander (of Hadewych).

Recorded in the aftermath of the discovery and subsequent destruction of an ancient solar temple by local authorities in the eastern region of Hamaland, a land still shadowed by the enduring influence of the Church, this new work channels both lament and invocation.

Amidst these events, O Saala Sakraal deepen their exploration of the sacred and the profane, weaving six aural ceremonies designed to open liminal sonic spaces where the residual wounds of Christian dominion may begin to heal.

Steeped in woodland mysticism, Oastar unfolds as a cycle of rituals, to facilitate flow states, purify and transform, and call forth coalescence from fragmentation. Beneath its layers, a burning resonance persists: a yearning for restoration, for a return to the primordial harmony that once bound all things.

The album closes with a single solemn hymn to dusk, a slow descent into stillness where night and renewal converge. Six pieces of consolidation and transcendence, offered to the world in its darkest hour.
