Our Take

WARDRUNA's latest offering, Kvitravn - First Flight Of The White Raven, is a mystical journey through the enigmatic world of Nordic folk music. With their signature blend of haunting chants, ethereal melodies, and powerful drums, this album is a captivating exploration of the natural world and ancient traditions.

From the moment the opening track, "Synkverv," hits your ears, you are transported to a land of mythical creatures and spiritual revelations. The haunting vocals of Einar Selvik soar above intricate layers of instrumentation, creating a sonic tapestry that is both hypnotic and evocative.

Tracks like "Skugge" and "Viseval" showcase the band's ability to weave traditional folk music with modern production techniques, resulting in a sound that is both timeless and cutting-edge. The use of traditional instruments such as the tagelharpe and mouth harp adds an authentic touch to the music, while the atmospheric production gives the songs a mesmerising depth.

Kvitravn - First Flight Of The White Raven is a testament to WARDRUNA's continued evolution as musicians and storytellers. With each track, they paint a vivid picture of a world long forgotten, where nature reigns supreme and magic is a tangible force. So grab your rune stones and prepare to embark on a musical journey like no other. Sit back, relax, and let the music of WARDRUNA take you on a transcendental voyage through time and space. Trust us, you won't regret it.

About the artist

Wardruna

WARDRUNA: The Viking Warriors of Nordic Folk Music In the vast world of music, there are few bands that evoke the mysterious, ancient aura quite like WARDRUNA. This Norwegian collective, led by the enigmatic Einar Selvik, weaves a rich tapestry of sound that transports listeners to a time long forgotten. With influences ranging from traditional Nordic folk music to the raw power of nature itself, WARDRUNA's music is a captivating blend of primordial sounds and modern sensibilities. Their use of traditional instruments such as deer-hide frame drums, mouth harps, and bone flutes creates a hypnotic atmosphere that is both haunting and deeply moving. But WARDRUNA is not just a musical project - it is a spiritual journey. Their lyrics are drawn from ancient Norse poems and sagas, exploring themes of nature, ancestry, and the human connection to the world around us. Each song is a ritualistic experience, a window into a world where gods and giants walk amongst men. Despite their deeply serious subject matter, WARDRUNA is not without a sense of humour. Their live performances are as much about spectacle as they are about music, with the band's members often dressed in elaborate costumes inspired by Viking warriors. But make no mistake - behind the theatrics lies a deep respect for their craft, and a commitment to preserving the spirit of a bygone era. In a world of disposable pop music and fleeting trends, WARDRUNA is a rare gem. Their music is timeless, transcending cultural boundaries and resonating with audiences around the globe. So immerse yourself in the world of WARDRUNA, and let their music carry you to a place where the ancient and the modern collide.
