Perchta has many faces and guises, at once radiant beauty and wrinkled, old hag, both unforgivingpunisher and nourishing guardian, haunting destroyer as well as rewarding creator. "Ufång", theproject's first album, is just as multi-faceted, with the four key songs representing the elements of earth,wind, fire and water, entirely intoned in local vernacular. In its epic scope, "Ufång" sounds like a tempestof tremolo guitars and ritualistic folk with a voice on top to pierce marrow and bone.
