Named in tribute to Surtur, leader of the fire giants of Muspelheim ("flame land") and the oldest being in the nine worlds of Norse mythology, the record is said to feature 10 tracks of "sword-wielding, fist-pumping, hyper climactic battle anthems".

'Surtur Rising' will be released on March 25 via Metal Blade Records.

The track listing is as follows:

1. War of the Gods
   
2. Töck's Taunt - Loke's Treachery Part II
   
3. Destroyer of the Universe
   
4. Slaves of Fear
   
5. Live Without Regrets
   
6. The Last Stand of Frej
   
7. For Victory or Death
   
8. Wrath of the Norsemen
   
9. A Beast Am I
   
10. Doom Over Dead Man

The follow up to 2008's 'Twilight Of The Thunder God', was recorded again at Fascination Street Studios Örebro, Sweden with Jens Bogren.

The cover art work was created by Tom Thiel.
