‘Fi’mbulvintr’ wurde im März und April 2010 im schwedischen Varberg in Andy LaRoqcues (King Diamond) Sonic Train Studios aufgenommen. Andy war dabei für das Engineering und die Ko-Produktion zuständig.

“We worked really hard, nights and days, using both A and B studios for the ultimate outcome of our stay. Thirteen songs were nailed on track, including intro and outro. The arrangements are well thought through and the vocal tracks being laid down with a lot of thought behind. The production has a somewhat organic sound to it, simple and raw, yet allowing everything shine through and bring the production to it’s full justice. Recording, mixing and mastering took place at Sonic Train Studios, so we’ve had eyes and ears to it all the way, along with the great support and professionalism from Andy LaRocque. So with all efforts put down in this we are very proud and anxious to get this out and see from where to start.”

Tracklist ‘Fi’mbulvintr’: 01 Intro / 02 Einhärjar / 03 Vämods Tale / 04 The Last Journey / 05 Never Will You Know of Flesh Again / 06 Wrath of the Gods / 07 Snake Tongue / 08 Brethren of the North / 09 Day of Sorrow / 10 Lingering a Sacred Ground / 11 Heroes’ Brigade / 12 Strike of the Hammer / 13 Fi’mbulvintr (outro)

King Of Asgard wurden im Jahre 2008 von Karl Beckman gegründet, nachdem er seine anderen musikalischen Projekte aufgelöst hatte. Er tat sich mit seinem lange verschollenen alten Komplizen Karsten Larsson zusammen, mit dem er schon in der Wikingerhorde Mithotyn gemeinsam gewütet hatte. Nach jahrelanger Trennung war schnell klar, dass beide zurück zu ihren Wurzeln gehen wollten. Sowohl musikalisch als auch textlich, was sich auf der nordische Erbe bezieht, das sie in ihren Texten weitertragen wollen. Ende 2009 stieß noch J. Albrektsson zu den beiden hinzu und machte das Line-up komplett.

King Of Asgard took form in 2008 by founder Karl Beckman (ex-Mithotyn) after dissolving his latest musical projects. Teaming up with long time absent fellow worker, Karsten Larsson (Falconer, ex-Mithotyn). As a result, after years apart, the decision was made to go back to their roots both musically as well as heading for their Norse heritage in lyrical approach. In late 2009 J. Albrektsson joined the ranks on bass to strengthen the line-up further.
