Icelandic Viking metal giants, Skálmöld, will release their second live album and the first one as solo band 10 Year Anniversary - Live In Reykjavík, on October 23 via Napalm Records. Taken from this exciting ride through the band’s discography, Skálmöld have just unveiled the fourth single, “Að Vetri” (eng: In Winter).

The fast and driving live version of “Að Vetri” is putting heat on the crowd at that unforgettable evening in Reykjavík’s sold out Gamla Bíó, while the song’s protagonist Þórunn’s fight against Iceland’s harsh winters of ice and snow. Unrelenting driving drums and guitar riffs create a tight and oppressive atmosphere and underline Skálmöld’s versatility.

Watch the live video for “Að Vetri” below:

Three consecutive sold-out shows at the Gamla Bíó in their hometown Reykjavík were the adequate setting to celebrate the 10th anniversary together with their devotees. 10 Year Anniversary - Live In Reykjavík transports the mythical atmosphere directly into their fans' homes.

Skálmöld on 10 Year Anniversary - Live In Reykjavík: "Growing up and slowly beginning to descend into the world of metal music there was one album that really left its mark on my young self: Iron Maiden - Live After Death. At 10 years old, in awe, dreaming that one day I could play in a band, play shows, record it and release for others to enjoy was just that - a dream. But now all these years later my band celebrated 10 years of existence. 5 albums and countless shows all over Europe. We just had to capture this moment. So here it is. 10 Years Of Skálmöld - Live in Reykjavík. Here we are doing what we enjoy the most, playing a sweaty sold out show in front of our most dedicated fans. Well that was truly a night to remember. Skál!"

Starting off with their chant-worthy song "Heima", Skálmöld had concert-goers screaming along from the first second. Quickly transforming into "Árás", fans almost immediately got to see the wild side of the band which manifests in menacing vocals, fast riffs and protruding drums. Skálmöld classics, like the story of Loki's son, "Narfi", and just how dangerous and manipulative Loki’s children truly are, were essential for the setlist. "Niðavellir", the obscure home of the dwarves, tells the story of tombs and caves, underlined with propelling drums and heavy rhythms. A catchy guitar riff and alternating vocal lines that exude the energy of Skálmöld’s smashing live performances make "Að hausti" an absolute stunner. This is pure Viking Spirit!
