Swedish death metal act FIMBUL WINTER is proud to announce the release of its scorching debut extended play What Once Was, out now via the band.

Carrying the weight of history and the fire of unfinished business, What Once Was delivers five tracks of cold, uncompromising death metal steeped in the spirit of Sweden’s early scene.

“This EP came from friends who refused to settle for what was,” says the band. “Now, the world’s listening—and that’s the sound of us kicking the door in.”
Recorded by Sverker Widgrin (Mörk Gryning, Wormwood) and Shaun Farrugia, then mixed and mastered by Marko Tervonen (The Crown, Sarcator), the debut also features session bass from Tobias Cristiansson (Necrophobic, Dismember, etc.).

Built on rediscovered riffs from the dawn of Amon Amarth, alongside brand-new compositions, the EP proves that the sound once forged in Stockholm’s underground still cuts just as deep today.

Formed by Amon Amarth co-founders Anders Biazzi and Niko Kaukinen with longtime drummer Fredrik Andersson, and joined by vocalist Clint Williams (Munitions, Nemesium), FIMBUL WINTER fuses decades of experience with raw, unflinching energy.

The spark came when the former bandmates reunited to perform Amon Amarth’s 1994 demo The Arrival of the Fimbul Winter.

What began as a one-off became the seed of something greater: a new band committed to channeling the relentless spirit of early Swedish death metal into the present day.

What Once Was is not nostalgia. It’s a declaration.

FIMBUL WINTER is here to finish what they started.
