Background information about 'Edsvuren'

Swedish Viking metal pioneers Månegarm 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. 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 12th studio album, Månegarm take the oath with traditional Nordic instruments, thus providing necessary authenticity. Powerful opener "I skogsfruns famn", 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. The hypnotic black metal influence wrought by riff master Markus Andé and drum druid Jakob Hallegren in "Likgökens fest" prepares for harder battles, while friends of epochal length can listen devoutly to the voice of Erik Grawsiö in "Skild från hugen". Guest vocalists Ellinor Videfors and Lea Grawsiö Lindström provide the perfect contrast between harshness and beauty, while 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.

For fans of:
Einherjer, Skalmöld, Varg, Tyr and Amon Amarth
