SKOGSHALLEN go raiding soon...

SKOGSHALLEN are currently working on their next record. The new album is entitled 'Fara í Víking' which is the old norse for "to go raiding". The release date is not settled for now.

The founder of the band confessed me the following :

The sound is largely going to be more bombastic with some epic symphonic elements. The main focus is going to be on two events leading up to the clash of vikings against the christians that is sparked by the burning of the Irminsul Idol in Externsteine, Germany. This album is going to be a serious approach, unlike Olrunir's Saga. The metal sound is going to be heavily influenced by black metal with lots of tremelo picking.  It is going to be our best produced album as well due to the fan support we have slowly accumulated. 

The album will be featuring one of the oldest SKOGSHALLEN songs ever written titled "Beyond The Veil of Midgard" which will finally be completed since its first incarnation in 2005.
