The meaning of the name Turbund Sturmwerk:
Translated into English the German word "Sturmwerk" means "work(s) of the storm" or "work(s) in order to generate storm". The connotations of the word "Turbund" are manifold. It mainly refers to the Nordic God "Tyr", symbolizing "Tuer und Tor" (door/entry) to initiation and higher knowledge based on self-discipline, warrior ethics and the awareness of one's origin in an esoteric sense. As "Hangatyr", i.e. "Hanging Tyr", the deity also stands for Odin's self-sacrifice "at the cold and wind-chilled tree" described in the Eddas. By the way, we have already alluded to that aspect on the cover of our first album, when we used an original drawing from the trenches of World War II, showing a soldier hanging in barbed wire. "Bund", quite simply, is the German word for "alliance" and indicates what we feel to be a proper method of working, discipline and self-cultivation.
