Grimner unveil the new video for ‘‘Dödens Dans’ (Dance of the Dead)’ – out now!

Following their recent successful raid on the UK, including a triumphant appearance at Hammerfest, Swedish Viking horder Grimner release their later latest single – the quite brilliant ‘Dödens Dans’ (Dance of the Dead)’

 ‘Brothers and sisters! ‘Today we want to present a song to you from our latest album ‘Vanadrottning’. It is called ‘Dödens Dans’ (Dance of Death), and it tells of an old challenge, in Sweden called ‘holmgång’. In ancient Nordic times, it was a way to solve disputes, and this solution was simply single combat. The winner would have the right to whatever he may have wanted from the loser, but if this challenge was ever denied by somebody, they would be marked as a niding (outcast). It is a fast-paced and energetic song, filled with melodies of old.

Enjoy, friends. And if you already have, enjoy it again!’ // Grimner

Swedish Vikings Grimner give a unique mixture of folk and metal, incorporating catchy melodies, folk instruments and heavy riffs into their own, yet aggressive metal. With their dynamic and captivating music, with lyrics sung in Swedish, and looking like they have recently arrived from a fantasy world, they have taken enthusiasts of both metal and folk music by storm. Grimner’s lyrics revolve around Norse mythology, folklore, historical adventures of Vikings and life in the same era. With some songs dark and brooding; others fast, jovial and folkish, Grimner’s music is as awesome as it is entertaining.
