Sweden's Månegarm has announced its new studio album, Edsvuren, coming on 29 August via Napalm Records. The trio has also shared the first hauntingly powerful video single, "Hör mitt kall".
Månegarm on "Hör mitt kall": "'Hör mitt kall' is our first single from the new album. It's heavy, it's raw, and it's inspired by all the great heavy metal bands that made us fall in love with this kind of music! So get on board or move out of the way, this train won't stop!"
Swedish Viking metal pioneers celebrate their 30-year career with the release of their most evocative album to date. 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 Ragnarök and Summer Breeze Open Air.
Månegarm on Edsvuren: "2025 marks the 30-year anniversary for Månegarm as a band, and what better way to celebrate than to release a brand new album! Edsvuren (Sworn) is our 12th studio album and it showcases every corner of the Månegarm music spectrum. After months of hard work, we are so ready to release this beauty!"
Known for weaving Norse mythology, ancient rites, and folkloric wisdom into an unrelenting metal tapestry, Månegarm once again summons the spirits of the past with a song that echoes through the halls of the dead – a desperate summoning of ancestral voices buried in root and soil. Link
