Skálmöld (ISL)

From the realms of the far north, an army of six Icelanders rushes towards battle and it is not too difficult to recognize them as an exceptional folk metal band. This band never disappoints, neither if they unleash their live madness in a club situation, nor in Iceland’s largest concert hall together with Iceland’s Symphony Orchestra. SKÀLMÖLD plays music that could be described as battle metal, a portion of epic viking metal, old school death and thrash metal, entwined with the Icelandic heritage. The lyrics are all written under the strict rules of the ancient Icelandic poetry and influenced by the heathen roots of the Nordic nation.
