UTMARKEN  unveiled the artwork for their upcoming album " Förfallstid ". The band added : Förfallstid is in the final stages. First mastered tracks from Kalthallen studios have arrived, and despite all uncontrollable circumstances in the process... I now know Förfallstid will be a powerful album! Another important piece of the puzzle is the cover, which also is finished and I am, to put it mildly, not just a litte amazed and honoured to have received help with it by Thomas Väänänen, ex-vocalist in Thyrfing and veteran of the swedish scene, whose heavy metal ears are much, much more experienced than my own. That is a big thing to me personally.

May 12th will be released via Despotz Records, the debut album "The End Is Nigh" by  APOCALYPSE ORCHESTRA . The debut album "The End Is Nigh" was recorded during the second half of 2016, the drums at Studio Overlook by William Blackmon (producer of Gadget, Beardfish, Isole among others) while all other instruments were recorded by the band at Studio Bordun. A live choir was also recorded at the historic Sailors Church in Gävle. It was then mixed by Per Nilsson (Scar Symmetry/Kaipa) at Studio Kabyss and mastered by Fredrik Groth at Studio Flåklypa. The album features original compositions and lyrics with a heavy medieval flare, but also contains actual melodies hailing back as far as the 12th century. With the hurdy gurdy, bagpipe, cittern, lute, mandora and several other traditional instruments the ambience is set from start. Clashing with a modern sound the combination is unique. Lyrical themes ranges from everyday toils of the common man...

I interviewed  SERVAN  on various topics, including their upcoming album "Tales of the Forest". 01. Hi! Welcome at Sword Chant! Three years ago was founded SERVAN. Can you tell us your adventure from the beginning until now ? Hi Krissy, and thank you! Three years ago, as you said, SERVAN was founded. Many things happened since today : from the ashes of another folk band, we decided to start this project, because we had some good material. At the time we were only 4 but after many changes we finally had the current lineup (last changes were done in the last months of 2015). We have to remember the live we shared during those years with some great folk metal bands from northern Italy too and some records we have done... But maybe we can talk about it later.
