Swedish Viking metallers KING OF ASGARD have released their video for the track, 'The Nine Worlds Burn', lifted from the new album, …To North.

Says the band: "“Why look further, when one is surrounded by great artists? Again, King Of Asgard teamed up with the 'Einhärjar' video creator, Rickard Monéus and the 1897 crew including Andreas Edelönn. The production set up took place in the depths of a forest close to King Of Asgard's rehearsal lair. A late night in May - dusk and burdened raindrops. Perfect conditions for creating works of ruin. Searching to reflect the mythological end-of-this-world theme of 'The Nine Worlds Burn', Rickard and Andreas produced a video full of ritualistic and apocalyptic visuals that perfectly enhance the song's sense of dread and destruction.

A result we are all proud to present. That depict and burn the crust of the earth!”

King Of Asgard will release …To North, their second album, on July 31st. Recorded at the infamous Sonic Train Studios with engineer Andy LaRocque (KING DIAMOND) at the helm …To North shows a band that has perfected it's songwriting skills. The cover art can be seen below:

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."
