Our Take

It's time to grab your axes and shields, because Wardruna is back with their latest album, Skald - and let me tell you, it's a journey through the depths of Norse mythology that you won't soon forget. From the haunting vocals of Einar Selvik to the mesmerizing sound of traditional Norse instruments, Wardruna transports you to a world of Viking warriors, ancient gods, and epic battles. The album is a sonic masterpiece that is both dark and enchanting, weaving together elements of folk, ambient, and experimental music to create a truly unique listening experience. But what sets Skald apart from other albums in the genre is its authenticity. Wardruna doesn't just play around with Norse themes - they live and breathe them. The band's dedication to preserving and reviving ancient Norse sounds is evident in every note of Skald, making it a truly immersive and otherworldly listening experience. So grab your drinking horn, light the bonfire, and prepare to be transported to a time when gods walked among men and warriors roamed the earth. Skald is a musical journey that will leave you breathless and in awe of the power of Norse mythology. Raise your horns to Wardruna - they have truly outdone themselves with this epic masterpiece. Skål!

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.
