- Artist name: Canute
- Album name: Playing with Tides
Since creating my album cover prelims my group and I have decided to change the band name from 'Azura' to 'Canute', making reference to 'King Canute the Great'.
He was a Viking warrior turned english king, 'THE KING WHO COULD NOT STOP THE SEA BUT STEMMED THE VIKING TIDE ON ENGLAND'S SHORES'
Lengend says that he was so great, he could command the tides of the sea to go back but he, himself knew his limitation so he had his throne carried to the seashore and sat on it as the tide came in, commanding the waves to advance no further. When they didn't, he had made his point that, though the deeds of kings might appear 'great' in the minds of men, they were as nothing in the face of God's power.
With our album name being 'Playing with Tides' we thought this reference was a serious, celebration hommage to Canute himself. Everything has meaning behind it and this is ours
