Swedish death metal giants have announced their new album, No Sign of Life, will be released on November 12th via Napalm Records. To celebrate the announcement, the group has unleashed a lyric video for their new single “The King Lost His Crown.” 

Vocalist Johnny Hedlund comments on the track:

“In the aftermath of the battle of Jorsala, where the Midgard Warriors stood victorious, White Christ is now being hunted from the once so holy city. The enemy flees towards the desert, and his armies are about to lose faith in their leader. It seems that the king lost his crown.”

The band expresses their excitement:

“It is our hope that our warriors all over the world will enjoy the new album just like they have our previous ones. We have, as always, tried to stick to our roots while testing our steel to develop the genre of Viking Death Metal even further. Hail Odin!”
