SHADOW RECORDS, in conspiracy with REGAIN RECORDS, is proud to announce the release of GRAFVITNIR's highly anticipated tenth album, Útgarðr, available in CD and vinyl LP formats.

Grafvitnir's black metal is often described as a tempestuous storm, embodying the essence of Nordic darkness.The compositions delve deep into the shadowy realms of Niflheim, characterized by perpetual ice, mist, and frost.Their inspiration is derived from Hvergelmir, the mythical cauldron that feeds the eleven ice streams known as Élivágar. The name Grafvitnir refers to one of the immense serpents that gnaw at the roots of Yggdrasil and consume the blood of the dead.
 
As winter approaches and darkness permeates the world, Grafvitnir returns with their tenth work, Útgarðr.The album features venomous incantations paired with haunting riffs and eerie melodies, all steeped in Nordic darkness and cold.The compositions reflect the essence of the freezing night and the enigmatic depths of the Beyond, resonating with a timeless quality reminiscent of the ancient cauldron of witchcraft from which they are obviously derived.
 
A blizzard of gnawing fangs and an overture of freezing darkness.
 
The Fenrir wolf howls anew, and the cold stars are aligned for a dark journey to the outermost regions of the wilderness—into the shadowed wastelands of Útgarðr.
