And on Friday the rest of the album. We truly cannot wait!
------
"The third single we present to you from our upcoming album is the title track, ÝDALIR. Here we get to know a little about ULLUR and his home in ÝDALIR and are introduced to the horrors he and his folk must face.
Two things I would like to mention regarding this song. First, the majority of the song was written by our drummer, Jón Geir. He has written riffs and melodies before, but this is the first time he presents to us what becomes the spine of a song. The opening riff and verse are very straight forward and menacing and you can sense the danger ULLUR and his folk facing. And then comes the melody in the chorus. Such a strong melody which could have easily been written in 1988 and recorded for Seventh Son if you ask me.
Second… we have to talk about the guitar solo. Þráinn is such a monster when it comes to guitar solos and has done some fantastic solos for us in the past. But here he gives us what might be his best guitar solo to date. Good stuff.
So, ÝDALIR is a song that we are very proud to present to you and I can see this song become a constant in our live set for years to come. And now we just have to wait a few more days until you can enjoy the album as a whole. It´s gonna be a blast.
Cheers!
-Björgvin"
