Hulkoff – JOTUNHEIM (2CD) Compact Disc Double

The new album by the former Raubtier frontman!HULKOFF returns with his fifth studio album; Jotunheim – a towering new chapter that bends space and time, and throws you back to the very darkest void where the Nordic sagas began – Etunaheimar. The first spiritual landscape known in the blood-memory of Fennoscandia, today referred to as Jotunheim – the realm of Giants. Founded by the former frontman of Raubtier, HULKOFF has dominated Swedish charts with multiple #1 releases, including Pansarfolk (2020), Ragnarök (2021), and Hersir (2023). As with some of the previous releases, HULKOFF once again drops a double album. With 20 tracks split across two discs – one in Swedish, one in English – the album invites the world into the frostbitten heart of the North, expanding the saga without loosing its roots. With Jotunheim, HULKOFF delivers what has become his hallmark: iron-hard riffs over folky melodies and thunderous drums. Often described as “Music for the Viking hearted”, Jotunheim once again presents the established HULKOFF sound – Metal refined and enhanced by the primal organic sound from Talharpa and violin – wood, horsehair and steel. A symbiosis that is adding an earthy, ritualistic texture to the otherwise dark and heavy sonic landscape.
