Casey Cangelosi Naglfar I. II. Anthony Calabrese, Percussion 2014

In Norse mythology, the Naglfar signals Ragnarӧk (a series of battles and natural disasters that will end the world for humans and gods). The Naglfar is said to be made up entirely from the finger and toenail clippings of the dead. When enough people have passed and thus enough materials collected, a great flood will release the Naglfar and announce the beginning of the end. The word itself translates to a double meaning of “Nail Ferry” and “Wraith Ferry”. Even today in some Scandinavian cultures it is customary to trim the nails of the dead before burial, consequently prolonging all existence. Performed and recorded in June 2014.
