Norwegian Viking metallers Helheim are launching the year by giving fans the first taste of their upcoming ninth full-length album, landawarijaR, which is scheduled for release on Dark Essence Records on the 20th January. The band has revealed the first of two videos by Guilherme Henriques, which illustrate tracks from the album. The first video is for the track "Baklengs Mot Intet", and this will be followed by "Ymr", which will be revealed at a later date. Enjoy!






The band said: "The videos, 'Baklengs mot intet' and 'Ymr', give the best illustration of the concept behind the new Helheim project, landawarijaR. Whilst the theme of 'Ymr' is about defining yourself through Norse arts and works - making the metaphorical climb of Yggdrasil in other words, the theme of 'Baklengs mot Intet' describes the inner battle, the bottomless despair and endless futility experienced by a Walker of the Way. 'Ymr', therefore, describes the ascent and the letting go from the top, whilst 'Baklengs mot intet' describes the fall and its possible implications.

"Through these songs Helheim are continuing their exploration and modern interpretation of the darker aspects of the North-European pre-Christian culture, capturing the spirit of the Norse heritage in ways that have eluded both to researchers and archaeologists."
