Following the momentum of their first single “Svartigaldur”, a frostbitten, narrative‑driven sea‑shanty metal tale, Iceland’s sorcerous folk‑metal conjurers Hrafnablót proudly release their second single and music video, “Dísablót”, marking the next chapter in the unfolding saga behind the band’s forthcoming debut album "Guðlaugar Saga," arriving in fall 2026.

​

​“Dísablót was the first song we wrote together as a band. As such, we’ve had a long time to polish and refine it,” says the band.

​

Musically, the track surges with groovy, driving riffs, twin‑guitar harmonies, fast solos, and powerful vocal interplay, capturing the band’s signature blend of folk mysticism and dramatic metal intensity. Lyrically, it opens the album’s story: modern‑day protagonist Guðlaug, shy and alone at a Reykjavík bar after midnight, follows a beckoning fairy (Dís) to what she believes is an afterparty, only to awaken in the Icelandic settlement age, unsure whether she was drugged or transported by ritual.

​

The single’s artwork, illustrated by Ana Nikitina with layout by guitarist Mara Birna Jóhannsdóttir, depicts Guðlaug kneeling in a circle of flames, clutching a taser, encircled by ravens and framed with Icelandic magick runes known as Draumstafir.
