Dun Ringill returns!
Now it is time to release the second part of their conceptual double album. Following the release of "150-Where the Old Gods Play Act 1" in 2023, Act 1 received an average score of 8/10 in reviews worldwide.
Now the Swedish progressive folk metal band is set to release "Act 2" in March 14th, 2025.
Nordic folk, doom and progressive metal meet storytelling lyrics on Dun Ringill’s conceptual double album “150-Where the Old Gods Play”. After the launch of their second album “Library of Death”, the Swedish 6 piece decided to challenge themselves further by writing an ambitious conceptual saga, released as two separate albums during 2023 and 2025 respectively. To enhance the storytelling, the band (now with a new drummer) choose to increase the intensity of their dark, progressive visions whilst still faithfully incorporating their native nordic folk influences.
Dun Ringill found a new lease of life when they decided to throw themselves into the grandiose and almost impossible mission of composing a cohesive and well-written story, whilst simultaneously recording a concept record without unwanted pretentiousness. It was important to make the songwriting the focus, yet at the same time have both the lyrics and music complement each other, making them live in unison and work independently as individual songs.
During this journey, the band has developed and explored many new areas outside their folk-doom comfort-zone by introducing a strong progressive element, which resulted in an advancement of their technical, musical, and emotional expressions. The journey has been vibrant, powerful, challenging and at times very dark. Without the excessive downtime which the pandemic offered, this work would simply never have seen the light of day.
“150-Where the Old Gods Play” (Act 1 and 2) are based on a movie script written by Patrik Andersson Winberg (bassist and main songwriter in Dun Ringill) and Jonas Granath (teacher in religion and literature). Contact has been made with movie producers who have shown great interest in the script thus far. The story, based in Scotland in early 1900, centers around the manipulation of the church with a priest whose secret agenda only reveals itself at the end.
The beginning of Act 1 starts with the emotive track "Awakening". The unmistakable drive and passion of the opener signals the start of a powerful inner-journey, complete with twists and turns for the band but also the now introduced main character, Lucia. Act 1 concludes with 'The Last Supper' which will leave the listener on a cliff-edge, almost anxious to discover how the story will unfold by the end of Act 2.

Welcome to Lucia and Dun Ringill's journey Where the Old Gods Play……
“150-Where the Old Gods Play Act 2” features guest performances by Per Wiberg (keyboard on ”The Robe & Crown” and ”My Father”), Anna Acid (spoken word on ”Lucias Monologue, part 2”) and Matilda Winberg (vocals on “ A New Day Dawns”).
The album was mastered by Magnus Lindberg.
