…To North'! to be released in July!
Swedish Viking Metallers
KING OF ASGARD made an astonishing impact on the scene with their debut album
Fi'mbulvintr, released in 2010. After playing a bunch of festivals and club shows in 2010 and 2011,
KING OF ASGARD have now finished recording their second album
…To North at the infamous Sonic Train Studios with engineer Andy LaRocque (KING DIAMOND) at the helm.
Comments bassist Jonas Albrektsson on the recording process and what to expect from …To North: "The
"…To North" master just arrived and it sounds astonishing! Andy
LaRocque made a great job on the production and the mastering along with
Olof Berggren. It's upright and powerful. We feel very proud of what we
achieved on this recording and merely the sound of it makes it a worthy
follow-up to the firstborn "Fi'mbulvintr". Songs and sounds came out
much as of what we planned, with power and a great variety. "…To North"
takes off pretty much where "Fi'mbulvintr" left off so to say, with a
natural development, more varied songs and structures. It's a
development of our sound which will be recognized by old fans as well as
bring some new ones to the horde. This time around I've been more
involved in the writing process along with Karl, which kind of shines
through, giving the songs a wider perspective. Expect some very strong
songs on "…To North", where epic meets with brutality! The lyrical theme
this time is basically in the same vein but has different twists. Not
as obvious as before. "…To North" will make The Nine Worlds Burn… and
Varberg was just left behind."
First song titles include 'Gap Of Ginnungs', 'Plague-Ridden Rebirth', 'Nordvegr', 'Upon The Mountain' and 'The Nine Worlds Burn'.
…To North - the first KING OF ASGARD album featuring second guitar player Lars Tängmark – will be released in July 2012.
More details on …To North will be posted in the next few weeks!
