Fi'mbulvintr was recorded in March and April of 2010 in Varberg, Sweden at Andy LaRoqcue's (KING DIAMOND) Sonic Train Studios. Andy also engineered and co-produced the album.
"We worked really hard, nights and days, using both A and B studios for the ultimate outcome of our stay. Thirteen songs were nailed on track, including intro and outro. The arrangements are well thought through and the vocal tracks being laid down with a lot of thought behind. The production has a somewhat organic sound to it, simple and raw, yet allowing everything shine through and bring the production to its full justice. Recording, mixing and mastering took place at Sonic Train Studios, so we've had eyes and ears to it all the way, along with the great support and professionalism from Andy LaRocque. So with all efforts put down in this we are very proud and anxious to get this out and see from where to start."Tracklisting

King Of Asgard took form in 2008 by founder Karl Beckman (ex-Mithotyn) after dissolving his latest musical projects. Teaming up with long time absent fellow worker, Karsten Larsson (Falconer, ex-Mithotyn). As a result, after years apart, the decision was made to go back to their roots both musically as well as heading for their Norse heritage in lyrical approach. In late 2009 J. Albrektsson joined the ranks on bass to strengthen the line-up further.
King Of Asgard is:
Karl Beckman – guitar, vocals
Jonas Albrektsson – bass
Karsten Larsson – drums
