Norwegian black metal warriors Helheim announced that the new album, titled Rignir, will see the light on April 26th through Dark Essence Records. Once again the album was recorded at the Conclave & Earshot Studios in Bergen, mixed and produced by Bjornar E. Nilsen (Vulture Industries, Black Hole Generator) alongside the band, and Herbrand Larsen (Enslaved) to handle the mastering. Helheim also premiere s brand new album-title single.

In the same month, the band will be also touring over Europe with Vulture Industries, Madder Mortem and Caelestia. Tour dates can be found below.

The band on inspiration for the album: "This time around we have been very inspired by the local weather of Bergen. The autumn and winter seasons can summon the darkest of feelings within oneself, and this backdrop served as the fertilizer that would germinate the seeds of our lyrical ideas. Exploring the darkness of nature as something that can be seen, as well as sensed, it became a canvas where the pen drew words that rose from the depths of solemnity and alienation. Although each track depicts an ever growing intensity of suffering and loss, there's still a dialogue on how to maintain some sort of sanity or inner peace."
