Icelandic band SKALMÖLD is back with a bang, just two years after their promising debut album. Their latest offering, "Börn Loka," delivers a powerful dose of dark yet festive Viking folk metal. Imagine a sound that blends the darker elements of TYR with the more upbeat vibes of AMON AMARTH, while steering clear of the joviality of ENSIFERUM. This sextet strikes a balance between aggression and an invitation to celebrate. More mature and intense than "Baldur," this second album has all the qualities to solidify SKALMÖLD's place in the Viking folk scene.
