Season of Mist present the full album stream of Hugrheim, the new album from EIHWAR, arriving tomorrow.
With their second full-length, the pagan troublemakers invite listeners into the hidden tenth world of Yggdrasil. This is Hugrheim, a realm shaped by the Hugr, the force of mind and spirit. It is also, conveniently, a place where war drums echo endlessly and nobody complains about the noise.
Blending Nordic folk instrumentation with electro-industrial pulse and thunderous ritual percussion, Hugrheim captures the chaotic energy that has already rattled festival grounds from Wacken Open Air to Midgardsblot. Eihwar treat Norse mythology less like a museum piece and more like a very loud celebration. Ancient symbolism collides with trance languages, pounding rhythms, and the kind of ritual enthusiasm that tends to make crowds forget they are supposed to stand still.

Across ten tracks, the album unfolds like a guided tour through the stranger corners of this unseen world. From the rune-bound trial of lead single “Nauðiz” and the invocation of “Freyja’s Calling” to the victorious chant of “Heill Óðinn,” each composition opens a new gateway into Hugrheim’s shifting landscapes, including the album’s eponymous track “Hugrheim”. There are battle rites, shadow realms, and luminous gardens. There are also quite a lot of drums.
At the center of the story stand Mark and Asrunn, wandering spirits whose memories of Hugrheim slowly return while inhabiting human bodies on Midgard. Through chants, war drums and trance-driven rhythms, the duo translate that mythology into sound. The result is a concept album that moves easily between ritual atmosphere and outright pagan dancefloor energy.
There is something truly unique about Eihwar. In a way, the band relates to Vikings much like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles relate to turtles: wild, over-the-top superheroes who don’t take themselves too seriously. And yet, from their mischievous spirit and contagious joy emerges a deep and moving poetry. A kind of childlike wisdom.
Hugrheim is out Friday, March 13th, via Season of Mist.
