Summary

Description
English: Live on the 10th of December 2014. Budapest, Club 202. Skálmöld. Skálmöld er risin!

Skálmöld var stofnuð í ágúst 2009 af sex mönnum sem þekktust mismikið en áttu það sameiginlegt að hafa verið að einhverju leyti sýnilegir í íslensku tónlistarlífi, fæstir þó í harðari tegund tónlistar. Rætur meðlimanna flestra liggja þó í þungarokkinu og því var strax ljóst hvert stefndi. Fyrsta plata Skálmaldar, „Baldur“, kom út síðla árs 2010 og náði strax undraverðum vinsældum, bæði í rokkgeiranum en líka hjá fólki sem ólíklegra er til að hlusta á þessa tegund tónlistar. Í framhaldi af velgengni á heimaslóðum var platan gefin út á heimsvísu af austurríska útgáfurisanum Napalm Records og síðan þá hefur Skálmöld spilað á fjölmörgum tónleikum, bæði heima og utan, og vinsældir vaxið jafnt og þétt. Önnur plata sveitarinnar, „Börn Loka“ kom út síðla árs 2012 og var fylgt eftir með tónleikahaldi um víða veröld fram eftir ári 2013. Árið náði síðan hápunkti er Skálmöld lék tónlist sína þrívegis frammi fyrir fullri Eldborg, ásamt Sinfóníuhljómsveit Íslands, Karlakór Reykjavíkur, Kammerkórnum Hymnodiu og barnakór Kársnessskóla. Hljóð- og mynddiskur kom út í framhaldinu og hlaut metsölu.

Tónlist Skálmaldar hefur verið kennd við víkinga og er það engin furða. Textar sveitarinnar, sem allir fylgja fornum íslenskum bragarháttum, eru í víkingastíl, yrkisefnið bardagar og goðafræði, og andrúmsloftið rammíslenskt. Tónlistin sjálf er þungarokk af gamla skólanum, kryddað með áhrifum frá þjóðlagaarfinum í bland við nýrri strauma. Útkoman er aðgengilegt og tilfinningaþrungið rokk sem lætur engan ósnortinn.

Tónleikar Skálmaldar eru kafli út af fyrir sig. Þar nýtur sveitin sín best og hrífur áhorfendur með sér með frumkrafti og spilagleði. Þessi upplifun verður þó alls ekki fullútskýrð með orðum og því er sjón sögu ríkari.

      • From the Realms of the Far North, an Army of six Icelanders rushes towards Battle!

Skálmöld was founded in August 2009 and has since then become the biggest metal act in Iceland. The band's Debut album, "Baldur" was released late 2010 and was immediately a huge success, both with the metal scene and the more mainstream crowd. Skálmöld then released the album via Napalm Records in 2011 and has made quite an impact on the international metal scene since then. After more than a year of touring and promoting Baldur, Skálmöld headed back to the studio to record their second album entitled "Börn Loka" (Loki's Children). It was released in late 2012 and followed by extensive touring throughout 2013. The year came to a grand closure when Skálmöld joined forces with Iceland Symphony Orchestra for three sold out shows in Iceland’s largest concert hall, Harpa. The concert was released as CD/DVD and became an instant best seller. Skálmöld plays music that could be described as Battle Metal, a potion of Epic Viking Metal, old school Death and Thrash Metal, entwined with the Icelandic heritage. The lyrics are all written under the strict rules of the ancient Icelandic poetry and influenced by the heathen roots of the Nordic nation. The outcome is a powerful mixture of Heavy Metal and Heroic Sagas, erupting from the boiling core of the frozen Island. The band puts on a killer show, rock tight and energetic, so be sure don't to miss out on Skálmöld. And in the end, who would be better suited for telling stories of the Vikings but the Vikings themselves?
