MITHOTYN
King Of The Distant Forest

Long-due official reissue!

Ships around June 5th 2026, limited to 250 copies.

Mithotyn’s Viking Metal classic remastered and with new artwork by Kris Verwimp!

First time on vinyl and digi-CD.

After releasing four demo tapes, Mithotyn finally put out their first full-length album in 1997. “In the Sign of the Ravens” might not quite reach the heights of the band’s later releases, but there’s still plenty here to enjoy. The album delivers a hard, cold take on Viking Metal, and at this early stage the band hadn’t yet fully embraced the stronger melodic elements that would become more prominent on later records.

If you’re already a fan of Viking or Black Metal, you’ll know roughly what to expect: longer songs with some variation, harsh growled vocals balanced with cleaner chorus sections, and a strong sense of atmosphere. It’s a familiar formula, but one that works well and captures what makes this style of music so enjoyable.

Mithotyn’s Viking Metal classic remastered and with new artwork by Kris Verwimp! First time on vinyl and digi-CD.
In 1999 Mithotyn released their last album “Gathered Around the Oaken Table”, an album filled with soothing and intriguing melodies, Black Metal ferocity, and your classic Metal heaviness.

The vocal work consists most of the time of strained Black Metal rasps, dark growls, some clean chanting vocals.
People who like Folk Metal, Viking Metal and Black Metal will enjoy Mithotyn’s music.

The Folk elements, the Viking lyrics and the musical influences from black metal are greatly mixed in this album.

The album is very melodic and soothing but also heavy, catchy and aggressive, and intense at times.

But the album is not as heavy as other Viking Meal bands, like Amon Amarth.

Thanks to a great song variety makes this album to a long-lasting album, if you like it you will definitely want to listen it over and over again.

If there are any Vikings left out there, then raise your horns and hail Mithotyn so they will always be remembered!
