Asexperienced metal blacksmiths Karl Beckman and Jonas Albrektssonhave given their band time to re-focus after line-up changes andquitting their old label. Now they are back with new-found power,firm conviction and a great mini-album which contains somesurprises. It became obvious that a fresh breeze is blowing throughthe King Of Asgard camp not later than in summer 2015, when theband hit a. o. the stage of the notable Kilkim Zaibu festival inthe North of Lithuania. Encouraged by strong performances, thequartet from Mjolby enriches their already distinct style on Taudrwith specific nuances from Nordic black metal, while at the sametime staying true to its roots. Thus the unmistakable influencesfrom Bathory and Isengard are joined by epic melodies in the vainof Moonsorrow, Kampfar or Myrkgrav as well as some traces of folkmusic. Once again Beckman’s melodies give King Of Asgard theirdistinct sound – a quality which already made Mithotyn stand outfrom hundreds of Swedish bands two decades ago. However, there’s aso far unsung power of expression with guitarist Ted Sjulmarkadding his voice to the choir arrangements, especially impressiveon Death… And A New Sun. And indeed, Taudr contains arrangementswhich grab attention, like a hurdy-gurdy in the introduction of thejust mentioned hymn. And it’s no accident that this band decided torecord a new version of the Mithotyn-classic Upon Raging Waves:Although Taudr focuses on death and the afterlife, King Of Asgardprove that the traditional roots are stronger than ever. The banddoesn’t give a damn about sounding complaisant and makes its ownway offside nowadays cheerful party pagan metal. The path taken onthis mini album leaves the comfort of one’s home behind and leadsinto the wild of nature which easily surmounts us humans… andfinally leads into the ill-omened shadow of:taudr:
