Skáld Releases New Single Dǫkksalir

Skáld has released Dǫkksalir as its third single. Dǫkksalir is taken from Skáld’s upcoming album Ørlǫg. Ørlǫg will be released on September 25, 2026. Ørlǫg will be Skáld’s first release through Napalm Records.

Ørlǫg contains ten new songs. The album’s instrumentation includes Nordic fiddles, harps, lyres, horns, kannels and whistles. Draumakona is identified as the album’s opening track. Heiemo og Nykkjen is a reinterpretation of a traditional medieval folk ballad from the region now known as Norway.

Eldr ok iss is the album’s final track. The title Eldr ok iss means fire and ice in Old Norse. Skáld will tour the United Kingdom and Europe in the autumn as a special guest of The Hu. Skáld’s Warrior Chant Tour with The Hu will begin in Glasgow on September 29.

The tour will also include a concert at L’Olympia in Paris on October 28. The release of Dǫkksalir precedes the September 25 release of Ørlǫg, while the Warrior Chant Tour begins four days later in Glasgow.
