More Info:
The breathless opener "Ljosid" on Skalmold's new Napalm Records album, Sorgir promises a wild ride, and epic choirs, Björgvin Sigurdsson's raw vocals and tough riffing immediately provide for the right Viking Metal spirit. Sorgir, the sixth album by the Icelanders, speaks volumes about the maturity of a band that effortlessly balances between respect for the traditions of Viking metal and an absolutely unique take on the genre. Soaring melodies, folk elements and harsh outbursts remind of the chilly beauty of Skálmöld's home country - Iceland, the eternal and awe-inspiring source of inspiration for neckbreakers such as "Gangari" and the gripping epic "Mara."
