Swedish folk metal force Grimner returns with thunder and fury as they unveil their new single “Träldomens Far” on March 13 — the first glimpse of their upcoming fifth full-length album Stormvingar. Lyrically, “Träldomens Far” (“The Father of Thraldom”) presents a faithful yet distinctive retelling of a classic Old Norse poem. The song brings ancient myth to life through Grimner’s signature storytelling — breathing new energy into the sagas of the North. Musically, the track is a groovy heavy-hitter packed with catchy melodies, crushing riffs, and a mighty chorus worthy of the shining Aesir. After nearly four years of silence, Grimner returns to the realm of Midgård with renewed strength. With new blood in their ranks and the iconic voice of returning member Marcus Asplund Brattberg, the band conjures the power of a storm-torn ocean, heralding a new chapter in their saga. The upcoming album Stormvingar promises a full folk metal journey inspired by Swedish folklore and Grimner’s own interpretation of Norse mythology. Their sound continues to blend the aggression of old-school melodic death metal with Nordic folk traditions, alongside elements of classic heavy and power metal — a fusion that has become Grimner’s unmistakable trademark. The album also sees the addition of brothers Anton Elowson and Axel Elowson, who bring fresh energy and musicianship to the band’s evolving sound. The band comments: “Our latest album, ‘Stormvingar’, has reignited a flame in us all, burning a path toward the future while at times taking us back to our roots. We are incredibly excited to unleash this beast of a record!”. “As always, we have given everything we have to bring this album to life, and working with Ulf Blomberg of HoboRec Studio for the first time, we couldn’t be happier with the result. We feel that we’ve created something truly special!” Stormvingar was recorded and mixed by Ulf Blomberg at HoboRec Studio and mastered by Gina Wiklund. The album artwork was created by Julien Bauer, with band photography by Alexandra Petersen. With “Träldomens Far”, Grimner once again sounds the Gjallarhorn — inviting listeners to join their stormbound journey through myth, melody, and metal. Sound the horn and spread the saga far and wide. Lyrics: En gång, längs gröna vägar Kraftfull kunnig asagud Vandrar mellan gårdarna Förklädd i grånad vandringsskrud han råder hjon vid härden men tager husbonns brud En kalv står kokt på bordet Ypperst där bland kräslighet Elden lyser Aes hus och lusten kring vad guden vet Tinar Eddas lemmar nu brinner åtrån het Rig reser sig stilla Han ser hennes vilja Till sängs men ej till vila Och på vardera sida av salens hjon Giv er till Träldomens far, Både åldrig och stark Låt honom mättas utav er föda, och beträda Eddas mark Lyss varje adelsman och karl Rig väntar eder snart I bädden dröjer tre dagar och går åstad Amma blir till moder och Moder föder Jarl Rig blir åter Heimdal, hans namn skall gå i arv I Midgård trenne gånger om Skola Rig nu bliva man Låt honom sprida sina sådor, må sen spad få va´ i spann Åter vid Bifrost, Heimdalls härd Skall han vakta asars värld Oooh! Giv er till Träldomens far, Både åldrig och stark Låt honom mättas utav er föda, och beträda Eddas mark Lyss varje adelsman och karl Rig väntar eder snart I bädden dröjer tre dagar och går å- Dröjer tre dagar och går å- Dröjer tre dagar och går åstad Facebook:   / grimnerswe   Instagram:   / grimnerband   Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/3EzUg...
