This Friday, August 29th, Swedish blackened viking metal trio MÅNEGARM will unleash their much-awaited new studio album, Edsvuren, through Napalm Records. Today the trio unveil a lyric video for the new single, "En blodvittneskrans", streaming now below!

Melding raw aggression, ancient beauty and hypnotic black metal influences, Norse mythology, rites and folkloric wisdom in a relentless frenzy of orchestral finesse – on the battlefield of Viking Metal, only these Swedish legends can emerge victorious with their thunderous anthems. With over 30 years of battle-tested heritage, MÅNEGARM continue to assert themselves as torchbearers of the genre with Edsvuren!

About their latest single, the band states:
"On "En blodvittneskrans", we unleash the fury and that is also exactly what the lyrics are about. It's the fastest and most intense track on the album and the powerful chorus will make you turn the volume up to 11!"

Known for weaving Norse mythology, ancient rites, and folkloric wisdom into an unrelenting metal tapestry, MÅNEGARM 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.

On their forthcoming studio offering, Edsvuren, MÅNEGARM offer necessary authenticity with the use of traditional Nordic instruments. Guest vocalists Ellinor Videfors and Lea Grawsiö Lindström, who have also supported the band on previous albums, once again provide the perfect contrast between harshness and beauty. On title track "Edsvuren", singer Liv Hope Lenard joins the wolf pack for the first time and provides one of the album's most breathtaking highlights. On violin, the acoustic master Martin Björklund is back again, especially shining on pieces like "Rodhins hav". Edsvuren was recorded and mixed by Pelle Saether at Studio Underground, and was mastered by Sverker Widgren at Wing Studios. The epic cover artwork was created by Kris Verwimp.
