Minnesota s wolves in black metal clothing return with their landmark second album Anden om Norr . Anden om Norr - which translates from Swedish to English as "The Spirit from the North" epitomizes CANIS DIRUS epic song writing based on their adoration of nature and their beautiful surroundings in northern Minnesota. As with their critically acclaimed debut, A Somber Wind from a Distant Shore , the overall feel and atmosphere of Anden takes a depressing / melancholic view of how humanity continuously treats nature with contempt and disrespect. Named after the dire wolf indigenous to North America over 100,000 years ago, CANIS DIRUS return with fangs gnashing to claim the throne of US Black Metal with the foreboding atmospheres of Anden om Norr !
