A year later Herra teamed up with labelmate HUGINN for the collaborative album “KBE kynnir: DÖGUN” which included hit singles like “Sorry Mamma” and “Klakar”.

For two years straight every single release from Herra has debuted at number one so if you’re rooting for the underdog,Herra Hnetusmjör is not your guy.
