Icelandic band SKALMÖLD is back with a bang, just two years after their promising debut album. Their latest release, "Börn Loka," delivers a powerful dose of Viking Folk Metal that is both dark and festive. Imagine a sound that combines the darker elements of TYR with the more upbeat vibes of AMON AMARTH, while being less jovial than ENSIFERUM. This sextet's music strikes a balance between aggression and an invitation to celebrate. With a more mature and darker approach than "Baldur," this second album has all the qualities to solidify SKALMÖLD's place in the Viking Folk scene.
