August 29 will see Swedish metal vikings, Månegarm, release their new studio album, Edsvuren, via Napalm Records. Following a previously-released first video single, “Hör mitt kall”, today, the trio is premiering a music video for the epic album opening track “I skogsfruns famn”.
The band comments: ”’I skogsfruns famn’ is our second single from the new album Edsvuren (sworn) and this video is probably the coolest and rawest Månegarm video to date (made by awesome Svartna Film). The song is a really groovy and epic track and the lyrics are based on a local story that is said to have taken place just a few miles from where we live. The music is written together with Tobias Rydsheim from Wormwood and it features Erik’s daughter Lea Grawsiö Lindström on vocals once more. Hold on tight folks, this one is something really special!“
Watch the “I skogsfruns famn” video:
Known for weaving Norse mythology, ancient rites, and folkloric wisdom into an unrelenting metal tapestry, Månegarm celebrate their 30-year career with the release of their most evocative album to date. As one of the leading bands in the genre, they once again bring their inimitable style and the blood oath of viking, black and folk metal back together for an unforgettable and diverse sonic journey. Pensive and dreamy atmospheric monsters meet songs for a proper mead binge – this mixture has brought the band a loyal international fan base and highly acclaimed appearances at prestigious festivals such as Ragnarök and Summer Breeze Open Air.
On their forthcoming studio offering, Edsvuren, Månegarm offer necessary authenticity with the use of traditional Nordic instruments. Guest vocalists Ellinor Videfors and Lea Grawsiö Lindström, who have also supported the band on previous albums, once again provide the perfect contrast between harshness and beauty. On title track “Edsvuren”, singer Liv Hope Lenard joins the wolf pack for the first time and provides one of the album’s most breathtaking highlights. On violin, the acoustic master Martin Björklund is back again, especially shining on pieces like “Rodhins hav”. Edsvuren was recorded and mixed by Pelle Saether at Studio Underground, and was mastered by Sverker Widgren at Wing Studios. The epic cover artwork was created by Kris Verwimp.
Melding raw aggression, ancient beauty and hypnotic black metal influences, Norse mythology, rites and folkloric wisdom in a relentless frenzy of orchestral finesse – on the battlefield of viking metal, only Swedish legends Månegarm can emerge victorious with their thunderous anthems. With over 30 years of battle-tested heritage, Månegarm continue to assert themselves as torchbearers of the genre with Edsvuren!
