Skáld announce new album ‘Huldufólk’

SKÁLD have announced a new album!

Titled Huldufólk, the upcoming album from the French Nordic folk band is the follow-up to 2020’s Vikings Memories, and is scheduled to be released in January next year, via Decca/Universal Music.

The album artwork is a tribute to the Swedish painter John Bauer and his illustration titled Princess Tuvstarr, gazing down into the dark waters of the forest tarn. His work mainly focused on landscapes and mythology, but also portraits. His best known illustrations are of Bland tomtar och troll, (Among Gnomes and Trolls), an anthology of Swedish folklore and fairy tales.

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; Troll Kalla Mik.
