Skálmöld: svelato il nuovo singolo dal prossimo album

Gli Skálmöld, viking metal band, hanno svelato il loro secondo singolo, ‘Verðandi’, insieme a un video musicale ufficiale. Con il loro primo disco in cinque anni, il sei elementi islandese pubblicherà il suo sesto album in studio,“Ýdalir”, il prossimo 18 agosto tramite Napalm Records.

Pre-Order Ýdalir HERE:
Icelandic Viking metal giants worship the heritage of Norse mythology!
Starting off with soothing opener “Ýr“, gentle acoustic guitar and organs are the calm before the storm. Catapulted to a dwelling owned by the god Ullur, the unsettled “Ýdalir“ builds with its hypnotizing guitar rhythms and galloping drum sounds, building a solid ground for ominous and dark growls. Based on Norse mythology, the sister “Skuld” makes up a trio of Norns, responsible for deciding the fate of people. Remarkable clean tenor vocals guide through the mystic mood, breaking up the heavy horizon with a fast-paced guitar solo and underlined by eerie bass lines. Closing the album, the stunning ten-minute track “Ullur” invites the listener into a colorful journey of melodic folk metal. Accompanied by roaring fire, the lyrics conform to some of the Old Norse poetic forms and create a magnificent interaction of oboe and keyboard elements, while the catchy guitar riff rises dramatically with the more eerie-like harmonies, providing a cinematic, epic ending. With ÝdalirSKÁLMÖLD showcases a blend of both ancient and modernized cultural heritage, and connects precious sagas with thrilling black metal elements while folk metal melodies give them an enigmatic touch.
