“Skuld” marks the third and final chapter in the band’s trilogy of “de tre nornene” (“The Three Nornes”) of Norwegian mythology, whereby Skuld stands for the future, or that which shall be. Thus, the overarching theme of the album is the passing away of all life, described from several viewpoints in the different songs, which ultimately culminates in this world's impending downfall.” The album as ten songs.

“Vigr” is first; a short intro consisting of crows squawking, marching footsteps in the rain, and female vocals. “Krigsrop” has a more traditional Black Metal sound, with varied harsh vocals, galloping drums, and a thick rhythm guitar section, and many of the tones are ominous and harrowing. “Hel’s Postulate” has a steadier groove, and a more hopeless and depressing sound. The slow grind beats down on you like rain and picks up towards the end with a little more energy. “Helvegen” has acoustic guitars and chanted vocals. It’s nice Folky change of pace to go along with the more horrid sounds on the album. But the harrowing sounds make a return after a little time.

“Galdr” is another short, transitional piece with varied sounds. “Pest” is a full on Black Metal assault with a thick rhythm guitar section once again. It isn’t the “wall of sound” that many FWOBM bands sport, but it still dominates much of the song. “Ere the World Falls” is the last gasp of anger and depression from a person who is ready to give up on life. “Valr” closes the album; a short mood-closer. The mood is somber, and the soft rain is back. This wasn’t bad necessarily, but it was patterned by the FWOBM, so it wasn’t very diverse. It was a fairly middle of the road Black Metal release for me.
