Tumblr has failed me yet again

Why are there no pictures of Gorgoroth’s Hat with a hat photoshopped onto his head? We can find pictures of Abbath walking in a forest with Dora the Explorer, Tartar “Grumpy Cat” Sauce and/or husky doge posing with the members of Immortal, varg holding a cat, but Hat wearing a hat?! Nowhere to be found!

“Enter the Eternal Fire” (originally by Bathory) by me

“Asgardreia” by Vikingbard

Vikingbard: “Dancing in a Snow-Covered Meadow”

Good News on the Viking Metal Front!

So while Vikingbard’s following is still small, our music has managed to reach people all across the globe. Not merely here at home in the US, but in Canada, South America, and Europe (fun fact, the countries where our music has reached in Europe are countries where Norsemen either lived – like Sweden and Iceland – or visited, such as Greece and England)!

So stoked for this! Thank you, Vikingbard fans, the Bardings, for spreading our music far beyond my own means. And for any metal-heads reading this who haven’t heard of Vikingbard, go check out the debut album Return to Valhalla, available on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon, and Google Play.

Stay metal, my friends, and i’ll see thee in Valhalla

Return to Valhalla now live!

Like Rod Stewart said, it has been a long road getting here, but now here we are! The journey that began seven years ago with the founding of Vikingbard, and that became realized in 2016, is now taking its first steps into a larger world. Yes, that’s right, music-lovers, Vikingbard’s debut album Return to Valhalla is now available to the public!

Head on over to iTunes, Spotify, Amazon and Google Play and check out our debut album, rife with grim, frost-bitten, epic, and Nordic-influenced metal.

Chaos
Awaiting for Adam’s return
Madness
Smiling as we watch it burn

I’ve become
Hostage to my mind
Left myself behind
Blind lead blind
Quest to find

Faith in Man-unkind

Garden
Of Eden, so simple and pure
Greedy
Needy, must we have more?

I’ve become
Hostage to my mind
Left myself behind
Blind lead blind
Quest to find

Faith in Man-unkind

Fascinate
Partner of insanity
Decimate
Lessons we never learn
Dominate
Killing of the innocence
Deviate
And to dust you return

Yeah

Seized by the day
Frozen captive by the night
Seized by the day
All the dark days of your life!

Seized by the day
Frozen captive by the night
Led so astray
All the dark days of your life

Zero
Reset, creation of man
Foolish
Ready, to witness again?

I’ve become
Hostage to my mind
Left myself behind
Blind lead blind
Quest to find

Faith in Man-unkind

Oh, faith in Man-unkind

Faith in Man-unkind

Oh, faith in Man-unkind
