NEWS: Iskald tease us once more!

Shattering like a mirror that curses you for a thousand years only to be chopped, glued and screwed back together, Norwegian Melodic Black Metal veterans Iskald have unveiled a second teaser for their upcoming sixth album “Curse of the Mind“. That is slated for a 25th September via Dusktone release as a conceptual journey which unfolds through four interconnected chapters linked by ritualistic invocations, exploring themes of psychological torment, inner conflict, fragile hope and ultimate sacrifice. Framed within a stark, Norse-inspired vision of Helheim, the story is mythological in setting but deeply psychological at its core. Helheim is not merely a place, it is the shape taken by inner darkness. The true battlefield is the mind itself.

Frontman Aage Krekling comments: “For our second teaser we go deeper into the ritual. You will hear fragments from ‘Manifestation of Madness’, ‘A Burden of Hope’, ‘Curse of the Mind – Invocation II’, ‘The Sacrifice’ and ‘The Other Realm’.

Where the first invocation opened the door, this one pulls you into the prison itself – isolation turning into doubt and psychological collapse. Helheim is not a place, it is the inner darkness taking shape, and the mind is the true battlefield. This passage leads directly to our first and only single before the album release, ‘The Other Realm’“.
