King Of Asgard "Karg"

Karg followed in 2014. It would be King of Asgard's final release through their longtime label, Metal Blade Records.

Karg's release was preceded on 19 May 2014 by the debut of its first single, "The Runes of Hel", which featured an accompanying video.

Metal Injection noted a shift in the band's musical direction from the style of King of Asgard's previous outings, stating that Karg "continues to elaborate on their traditional Viking metal, but looming within it is an ominous forecast of the black metal variety".

The album features a cover of Bathory's "Total Destruction".
