The new opus is called Vögguvísur Yggdrasils (Lullabies of Yggdrasils) and features 9 lullabies, one from each of the Nine Worlds of the heathen cosmology. The cover art was made by Kristjan Lyngmo.

A very special split 7" single will be available featuring the Alestorm cover version of "Drink", as well as the Skálmöld cover "Kvaðning" by Alestorm.

Christopher Bowes, captain and frontman of Alestorm on their cover "Drink", as well as covering an Skálmöld song on their upcoming album: "Ahoy! When we found out that our friends in Skálmöld had recorded a cover of an Alestorm song, of course we couldn't pass up the opportunity to return the insult! Ever since we first toured with those crazy guys on the Heidenfest Tour back in 2011, Kvaðning has been our favorite song of theirs, so it was the natural choice. Unfortunately, the lyrics to the song are in some made-up language they call 'Icelandic', which is an utterly impenetrable dialect for a monolingual ignoramus such as I...but thankfully, with the power of Google Translate and a dash of perseverance, anything is possible! We hope y'all enjoy the track!"

Something to look forward to, I think. I liked their previous album. Also, Finntroll and Alestorm covers O_o
