Die schwedischen Folk-Metal-Säulen MÅNEGARM haben sich in der internationalen Szene einen Namen gemacht, indem sie seit ihrem Debüt „Nordstjärnans tidsålder“ im Jahr 1998 neun Alben in voller Länge veröffentlicht haben.

MÅNEGARM on “Ulvhjärtat“:
“’Ulvhjärtat‘ is about Ingjald Illråde, who was the last king of the Ynglinga dynasty that ruled over Uppsala and Svetjud. As a young boy, Ingjald was weak and frail but during a great feast, the midvinterblot, Ingjald was advised by his foster-father, the blind man Svipdag, to eat a wolf´s heart to gain strength. Ingjald followed the old man’s advice but the outcome was not only that Ingjald became hardened and stronger… he also took on the mind and temper of the wolf.

Ingjald grew up to be an ambitious king determind to make his kingdom grow, but his mind grew darker and darker.
