‘Urdseiðr,’ the closing track on SEID’s forthcoming sixth album Dystopolis, premiered exclusively at NoCleanSinging.com on November 10, 2026. It is the second song revealed from the Swedish black metal band’s album, which is scheduled for international release on December 11th via ATMF.
The full track can be heard through the NoCleanSinging.com premiere. The previously revealed ‘Wandering the Fields of the Slain’ is also streaming at ATMF’s Bandcamp.
Dystopolis places values associated with the Viking ethos—honor, courage, loyalty, strength and belonging—against modern alienation and anonymity. Its subject is the strain on those ideals within an impersonal society, where technology, institutions and systems increasingly mediate human connections.
The announcement describes an album grounded in Viking black metal traditions, combining Nordic aggression with progressive structures, atmospheric passages and melodies. Black metal sections alternate with more expansive arrangements, reflecting the record’s movement between brutality and introspection. The press text frames its central concern as ‘what remains of the human being when the world around him becomes increasingly anonymous.’
SEID are led by Seiðr, with Pär Johansson on drums and Alex ‘Phil A. Cirone’ Purkis on bass. The announcement describes the lineup as having deep roots in the Swedish black metal underground. Its supplied photograph caption identifies Seidr Jonsson on vocals, Herjann Svolnir and John Doe on session guitars, Johansson on drums and Purkis on bass.
