Skálmöld to release new live LP ’10 Year Anniversary – Live In Reykjavík’

Icelandic Viking Metal giants Skálmöld will release their second live album and the first one as solo band 10 Year Anniversary – Live In Reykjavík, on September 25, 2020 via Napalm Records. Three consecutive sold-out shows at the Gamla Bíó in their hometown Reykjavík were the adequate setting to celebrate the 10th anniversary together with their devotees. 10 Year Anniversary – Live In Reykjavík transports the mythical atmosphere directly into their fans’ homes.

With propelling drums and heavy rhythms, underlined by Björgvin Sigurðsson’s unique vocals comes “Niðavellir”, the first single fresh off the new live opus. The single, originally released on their 2016 album Vögguvísur Yggdrasils, leads the listener straight into Myrkheim, the land of the dwarves. “Niðavellir” became one of SKÁLMÖLD’s trademark songs since then and in this live version, the energy coming from stage during the performance is palpable in every corner of Reykjavík’s legendary Gamla Bíó.

SKÁLMÖLD on the CD/DVD/BLU-RAY:
“In late 2009 we started SKÁLMÖLD. Nothing serious. Was just supposed for the pure fun of meeting up once in a while to play some metal music. Fast forward 10 years and we are celebrating the release of 10 YEARS OF SKÁLMÖLD – Live in Reykjavík. Recorded in the heart of Iceland’s capital at one of our 3 amazing sold out shows. Here is SKÁLMÖLD in its purest form – on stage, feeding on the energy of our beloved fans. We feel really proud and happy to present this to you. Enjoy!”
