FORNHEM - Uþarba Spa

"The title "Uþarba Spa" derives from a partial transcript of the inscription on the famously large runestone of Björketorp, Sweden. This stunning 4 metre high stone towers over a pre-Viking age grave-field. The debated proto-Norse inscription written in a late version of the Elder Futhark uses the Galdralag metre supposedly associated with Germanic spells. 'Uþarba Spa' probably translates as "I foretell perdition"."
"The runic inscription on the Björketorp stone constitutes a curse or a threat, which makes it quite unique among this type of monument in Sweden and elsewhere', explains drummer, vocalist, and lyricist Vafthrudner. "My lyrics are written from the perspective of one of the deceased buried close to the stone, whose spirit warns us mortals not to disturb the slumber of the dead. The title and the lyrics are also a tribute to our former project, Fördärv, which in English means something like 'ruin' or 'devastation'. The word literally appears in these lyrics: 'Jag spår fördärv', which translates as 'I predict ruin'. The past is alive!"
Björketorpsstenen :
"Ett hot från 600-talet kan man läsa på denna sten:
“Ärofulla runors rad jag dolde här, mäktiga runor.
Den som bryter detta minnesmärke skall ständigt plågas av arghet. Svekfull död skall träffa honom.
Jag spår fördärv.”
