In 2015, they received the award for "Best Underground Band" at the Metal Hammer Golden Gods Awards. Again the release made album of the month in many metal magazines, and also landed the band on the front cover of Terrorizer magazine. In July 2014 Winterfylleth announced that they planned to release their fourth album, The Divination of Antiquity, in October 2014. The second, released in May, was a compilation album entitled One And All, Together, For Home, (on which Winterfylleth participated) and featuring folk songs recorded by various metal bands including Primordial, Kampfar and, once again, Drudkh.

The first, released in January, was a split EP on vinyl with Ukrainian black metal band Drudkh entitled Thousands of Moons Ago / The Gates which featured covers of bands that have influenced Winterfylleth and Drudkh. The first half of 2014 saw two releases from Winterfylleth. Later in the year the band returned to Graspop Metal Meeting for the second year running and soon after made their Summer Breeze Open Air debut. In March and April 2013 Winterfylleth toured with and supported Enslaved on their Spring Rite European tour. It also was ranked as the 12th best album of 2012 by Kerrang! and made the top ten lists of many Kerrang! contributors that year as well. This release again obtained Terrorizer magazine's Album of the Month and 15th Best Album of 2012. Winterfylleth released their third album in 2012, The Threnody of Triumph, once again to widespread critical acclaim. This new-found recognition landed the band high-profile appearances at a number of top metal festivals including Roadburn, Wacken Open Air, Hellfest, Graspop and Bloodstock Open Air. Again, the release was a critical success (Terrorizer magazine ‘Album of the Month’ and 20th Best Album of 2010) and propelled the band to international success. Winterfylleth then set to work on their second full-length album, The Mercian Sphere, which was released on Candlelight Records in 2010. Following this release, Chris Naughton and Simon Lucas were joined by Nick Wallwork and Mark Wood, completing the line-up that would remain until 2015. The release was critically well received and garnered the band considerable attention within the black metal scene.
