‘De Vaendrig’ (The Ensign) was written between 2018 and 2020 by Galgenvot. The music finds itself caught in between the conflicting ideas of pessimism and hope.
The paradoxical position of an acknowledgement of life’s utter futility, but yet cherishing a desire to fight and overcome. There are no new concepts or revolutionary ideas;
‘De Vaendrig’ is an amalgamation of reflecting on the past and present and taking adversity head-on without compromise or excuse. In perpetual conflict between hope and pessimism, we stare death in the face and smile.
