International epic folk Viking metallers Folkearth will soon release their new album, entitled "Balder's Lament".It is their 12th full-length album and it will be released as always via Stygian Crypt Productions, hopefully on the beginning of 2014. "Balder's Lament" will be the first work of the band after the sad news that their founding member Metfolvik (Ravenclaw, Folkodia) passed away.
This album belongs in the "metal" repertoire of Folkearth, who have also released some totally acoustic albums in the past.
The epic cover artwork is painted by Kris Verwimp.

Lyrics:
Thunraz, dweller in the oak!
Hearken! Hasten from above!
Bless my arms with strength,
The power to slay Giants of frost!

Thunor the old, God of the storm,
My fists, like Mjӧlnir shall be:
Hammers of thunder, lightning;
The vessels of might for Donar's wrath!

Noble art thou, protector of Men,
Leader and first 'mongst our ranks!
Bring down thy fire -- it shall be ours,
A shield over our heads,
A shirt of maille over our breast!

The hammer of Donar
Is tearing apart
The black clouds that block
The glorious Sun!

Awe-struck and dumb,
Our enemies stand
At the sight of the Hammer
In Donar's hand!
