Swedish Viking metal pioneers M\u00c5NEGARM celebrate their 30-year career with the release of their most evocative album to date, Edsvuren, 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 Ragnar\u00f6k and Summer Breeze Open Air.<\/p>\n
On their 12th studio album, M\u00c5NEGARM take the oath with traditional Nordic instruments, thus providing necessary authenticity. Powerful opener \u0093I skogsfruns famn\u0094, an homage to the seductive forest spirit Skogsfru, is a perfect introduction to the world of Nordic myths and a beast of raw aggression and ancient beauty. In contrast, \u0093Till gudars f\u00f6lje\u0094 sways warmly in the best company of the gods, transporting the listener to a warm hall of a Viking longhouse \u0096 complete with a horn of mead and the irresistible urge to join in resonating chants. The hypnotic black metal influence wrought by riff master Markus And\u00e9 and drum druid Jakob Hallegren in \u0093Likg\u00f6kens fest\u0094 prepares for harder battles, while friends of epochal length can listen devoutly to the voice of Erik Grawsi\u00f6 in \u0093Skild fr\u00e5n hugen\u0094. Guest vocalists Ellinor Videfors and Lea Grawsi\u00f6 Lindstr\u00f6m, who have also supported the band on previous albums, once again provide the perfect contrast between harshness and beauty. On title track \u0093Edsvuren\u0094, singer Liv Hope Lenard joins the wolf pack for the first time and provides one of the album\u0092s most breathtaking highlights. On violin, flute and cello, acoustic master Jan Liljekvist is back again for the first time since 2012, especially shining on pieces like \u0093Rodhins hav\u0094.<\/p>\n
Norse mythology, ancient rites and folkloric wisdom in a relentless frenzy of orchestral finesse – on the battlefield of Viking Metal, only Swedish legends M\u00c5NEGARM can emerge victorious with their thunderous anthems. With over 30 years of battle-tested heritage, M\u00c5NEGARM continue to assert themselves as torchbearers of the genre with Edsvuren.<\/p>\n
