As a precursor to the release of "Men Guðs Hond Er Sterk," the band delivered a video for first single and opening track, “Ábær.” Offers Kapnas, “‘Ábær’ is about sailing through a hurricane, through ocean valleys, in a rowing boat and surviving it. The waves crashing, the wind and rain beating and biting you, death greeting you everywhere you look. Perseverance, melancholy, dread, willpower, endurance and doubt interweave with every note and word.”
Jón Aldará - vocals

Eyðun í Geil Hvannastein - guitars
Esmar Joensen - keyboards
Remi Kofoed Johannesen - drums

Ábær
Horvna eimin í mær
Átti tú, bert og altíð tú
Tað var tá, mítt blóð
Ja, tað var tá eg livdi
Mín sál fyri vág og vind
Fyri miskunn varganna
Tykist sum ein øld
Ið krýpur so æviga køld
Um øll heimins mykja
Stendur til at loypa
Um mína skirvisgirðing
Ongin fyrigeving
Svárt syngur ein bløðandi hevd
Stendur mær tvør
Hon vinnur so dánt við sítt flog
Og aldri nemur við jørð
Ein bylgja slær meint á mítt borð
Lívlínan fløkt
Veikt stórlætið logar í lógv
Síðan í alla tíð sløkt
Feigdin kom mær til góðar
Nú ill eru ráðini
Ábær, ábær
Ber sál fyri brotasjógv
Ábær
English translation:
To the Storm
The faded fire in me
Was yours, only and always yours
It was then, my blood
Yes, it was then that I lived
My soul to the elements
To the mercy of beasts
Seems like an age
Which slithers eternally cold
If all the dung of the world
Stands to collapse
Across my frail enclosure
No forgiveness is granted
A bleeding claim laments
Stands in my way
It ascends and barely takes flight
Never returns to the ground
A vicious breaker hits my bough
My lifeline tangled
On the shore my pride dimly flickers
Then extinguished forever
Doom came to my aid
Now there is no further resort
To the storm, to the storm
Soul bared to the churning seas
To the storm
