A stunning, winding trip through Norse mythology awaits on Vögguvísur Yggdrasils
A stunning, winding trip through Norse mythology awaits on Vögguvísur Yggdrasils – and the best travel guides are and will always be Reykjavik-based Viking metallers SKÁLMÖLD
Through their past three albums (their latest effort being Með vættum in 2014) the group has proven their expertise when it comes to Odin and his lot, but now the Icelandic six-piece will explore the Nine Worlds, from the fiery Muspellsheim to frozen Nifelheim – all held together by world tree Yggdrasil.
With a perfect Nordic backdrop, the fourth full-length by these genre heavyweights moves smoothly from highly melodic, epic Viking metal to picturesque folklore. Odin owns ye all!
