Experience the powerful return of Skálmöld with their first album in five years, Ýdalir. This Icelandic metal band draws inspiration from rich tales of Norse mythology and several iconic sagas, including the enchanting poem Grímnismál.
The album opens with the soothing track ‘Ýr,’ featuring gentle acoustic guitar and organ melodies that set a tranquil atmosphere. However, as you progress to the title track ‘Ýdalir,’ prepare for an exhilarating experience marked by hypnotic guitar riffs and thunderous drum beats. The tension builds, culminating in dark, powerful growls that embody the essence of Icelandic music.
