Legendary Swedish
viking/death masters UNLEASHED just announced the
tracklist and the artwork of the upcoming album
“Odalheim”.
With
“Odalheim” UNLEASHED not only present the successor of “As Yggdrasil Trembles”
in the year 2012, but also continue telling their post-doomsday story, of courseembedded
into the Norse mythology. After the mighty world tree Yggdrasil had trembled and
rung in the end of the world, Fimbul winter followed: Three years of darkness and
coldness, during which Mother Nature took back what was rightfully hers. This
caused the end of life as we know it. Ragnarök. But the warriors who’ve survived
will build a
new world out of the old one’s ashes. Right here, the story of “Odalheim”
begins.
With
“Odalheim”, the Swedes release their eleventh studio album. Once more, the
mighty line up consisting of Johnny (bass&
vocals), Fredrik (lead guitar), Tomas (rhythm guitar) and Anders (drums) has
created a multifarious and hymnal album in typical UNLEASHED manner.
Johnny commented the
artwork:
“The artwork is made by Sebastian Ramstedt, just like our previous 3
albums.
It
shows the new world "Odalheim", at the break of dawn at Birka shores, and just
before the attack of White Christ. The concept of the album is taken from the
book by the same name.A
book I haven't yet had the time to complete.”
“Odalheim” was produced
by Fredrik Folkare and recorded in the Swedish Chrome
Studios.
