Today, Swedish folk metal pioneers FEJD release the title track from their highly anticipated fifth full-length album, ‘Nifelheim,’ set for release on August 21, 2026 via Black Lodge / Sound Pollution. The new single arrives alongside a lyric video, available below.

"Nifelheim" invites listeners to embrace a realm of death and ice, the track opens the gates to a world steeped in ancient Nordic myth and mysticism.

From the very first note, “Nifelheim” draws the listener into a landscape of forgotten legends, carried by powerful arrangements and the evocative spirit of Nordic melancholy. With their signature blend of traditional folk instruments and modern metal, FEJD once again demonstrate why they are regarded as one of the leading names in folk metal.

Bridging two worlds with remarkable authenticity, the band combines the strength and intensity of heavy metal with the rich melodies, timeless traditions, and haunting beauty of Nordic folk music. The result is a captivating and immersive musical journey that sets the tone for what promises to be FEJD's most ambitious album to date.
