Skálmöld is an Icelandic Viking/folk metal band that has carved a niche for itself with its unique blend of metal music and traditional Icelandic storytelling. Formed in August 2009, the band has established a reputation for their epic narratives drawn from Norse mythology and the rich history of their homeland. Their music is characterized by a powerful combination of heavy metal, melodic elements, and folk influences, creating a sound that is both aggressive and hauntingly beautiful. The band sings primarily in Icelandic, adding an authentic touch to their tales of gods, giants, and ancient battles.

Over the years, Skálmöld has released a series of albums and tracks that have not only cemented their place in the metal community but have also brought the stories of old to a new generation. Among their most notable works are "Vögguvísur Yggdrasils," a majestic exploration of the mythical world tree Yggdrasil, and "Sorgir," an album that delves into themes of grief and struggle. Their live performances, such as the "10 Year Anniversary - Live in Reykjavík" album, showcase the band's ability to capture the energy and spirit of their music in a live setting, further endearing them to fans around the world. With each release, including the likes of "Með Vættum" and "Höndin sem veggina klórar," Skálmöld continues to explore and expand their musical narrative, keeping the ancient stories of Iceland alive through the powerful medium of metal music.
