Arkona are back and they come bearing gifts (a new album). Khram, which is the Russian word for temple and the upcoming title of the Pagan folk metal band's hotly anticipated eighth studio album, set to be released on January 19th 2018 via Napalm Records! Mark your calendars and check out the album details below, while you wait.

In support of their upcoming album, Arkona will be touring heavily in early 2018.

A Khram "is a temple shrouded in natural mysticism slumbering behind nocturnal treetops, yet open to everyone. The sincerity and depth that binds all five band members together resonates in the sumptuously dark cover artwork and leading lady Masha's lyrics that are written in her own blood (which is also part of the artwork)! Arkona may have used sound samples in their early days, but nowadays cellos, brass parts, wind instruments and throat singing are recorded live meticulously and flow naturally into the band's harsh metal tunes."
