Skálmöld – Ýdalir Tour 2024
Once again, I’ve seen three excellent bands. Even though their slots had quite usual lengths, I could have enjoyed each of them for a few more minutes and songs.
Iceland
Skálmöld – Ýdalir over Europe
Enjoy three excellent bands in a row: Atavistia's sound is best described as Melodic Death Metal. We get Metsatöll from Estonia and a really fine kind of folk metal. Skálmöld invite you to a journey to the land of unicorns, elves, Nordic sagas and gods. They had just released their latest album “Ýdalir”.

We will soon report about their upcoming autumn tour after we already enjoyed their festival set at Summer Breeze Open Air, so stay tuned.
SKÁLMÖLD – Ýdalir
