The Story

Yggdrasil the World Tree is a concept heavy-metal saga that traces Norse fate from creation to conquest, conversion, and the twilight of the gods. The record blends Viking metal with gothic atmosphere, progressive scope, and death-metal muscle—braiding tagelharpa, lurs, and ritual chant into modern, high-gain anthems.

Across songs like “Danelaw,” “Normandy (911),” “Guardians of Miklagarð,” “The Varangian Road,” “Vinland,” “Hangatýr (The Hanged God),” “The White Christ,” “Stamford Bridge (1066),” “Völuspá,” and “Ragnarök,” the album moves from longship fury to seiðr-like laments. Male and female vocals, Old Norse and Latin passages, and cinematic dynamics carry a narrative of warriors, wanderers, and world-trees—where history and myth collide.
