To be honest I can't wait to get the new album of our Icelandic Viking heroes! I saw them on stage, listened to their albums and can't wait to grab the new album! So for those who are tired of this long waiting, here's the teaser ...
We quote the band: 'Here it is, the first single from our upcoming album, VÖGGUVÍSUR YGGDRASILS, to be released September 30th via Napalm Records. The record contains 9 Lullabies, one from each of the 9 Worlds of the tree of life, Yggdrasill. NIÐAVELLIR is the home of the Dwarfs and the song tells the story of their clan lying down to rest in their cave. The floor is clean, plenty of space for everyone and Náinn sings for the rest of them. Niðavellir is a good place to spend your days, play, work and rest. The Dwarfs are happy.
The video was shot on the North East coast of Iceland, close to where we grew up. This paradise is called Bjargarkrókur, a location we used for our recent promo shoot. One take without to much thought put into it and the six of us really hearing the final product for the first time. What you read from our faces is what we actually feel. :)
We truly hope you like it, and if you do please consider liking, sharing and telling all your friends. And also, please leave your thoughts. We really love reading your comments and we are more than happy to answer your questions.
Enjoy!'

Here are the lyrics:
NIÐAVELLIR
– hér sofa dvergar
Niðavellir, náhvítur máninn skín.
Dvergahellir, dulúð þér villir sýn.
Sindradætur, synir og börnin öll,
vetrarnætur, verma þau klettafjöll.
Aðrir byggja hús og hallir, kastala og kofa.
Komið inn í hellinn því að hér, hér er gott að sofa.
Galdrastafir, grafnir í stóran stein,
dvergagrafir, dysjar og gömul bein.
Heljarstyrkur, hertekur djúpan dal.
Niðamyrkur, nær inn í gullinn sal.
Leggist niður börnin mín, já, stór er okkar stofa.
Steingólfið er tandurhreint og hér, hér er gott að sofa.
Trónir á mergi tinnugler,
tindar úr bergi háir.
Sindri og Hergill halla sér,
hér sofa dvergar gráir.
Heyr, mín kæra hefðarfrú,
hér er gott að sofa.
Á sig taka náðir nú,
niðahjón og börnin þrjú.
Þegar heyrist þrumugnýr,
Þór við skulum lofa.
Okkur geymir hellir hlýr,
hér er gott að sofa.
Náinn syngur næturljóð,
núna sefur dvergaþjóð.
