Swedish Viking black metal-tinged act KING OF ASGARD are set to release their third album, Karg, July 22nd, 2014 via Metal Blade Records. Visit metalblade.com/kingofasgard to stream the first single "The Runes Of Hel" and pre-order your copy of the album.
KING OF ASGARD also debuted a new video from the record for the song "The Runes Of Hel", which you can check out HERE.
The video was directed by Rickard Moneus and the band comments: ""The Runes Of Hel" was shot at the location of Vadstena Castle, inside one of four circular cannon turrets. Vadstena Castle is a former Royal Castle and fortress built by King Gustav I of Sweden (Gustav Vasa) in 1545. Vadstena being the city where both Karl and Jonas were born and forged. Somewhat the perfect place for a video to be shot. Thus, one night in May, the key to the city of Vadstena was lent to KING OF ASGARD. A long and late evening, in authentic setting with history's rugged wing beats embracing. Breathing the past and standing on undisturbed soil among ghouls and phantoms. A location harsh, barren and cold as carved for the finalization of "The Runes Of Hel"! As in customary and traditional arrangement Rickard Monéus (1897.se), our true companion in arms, handled the photography and the completion of this piece. Assisted by our fellow thrall Petter Fredriksson. Lean back and soak yourselves, as we present to thee; "The Runes Of Hel"!"
Karg is the third album of KING OF ASGARD, following Fi'mbulvintr, which was released in 2010 and ...to North in 2012. Karg has again been recorded with Andy LaRocque at the infamous Sonic Train Studios.
The band's two previous albums are available worldwide on Metal Blade Records. Listen to the band on iTunes and Spotify to hear what Terrorizer Magazine called "intense blackened folk metal".
