Background information über 'Runaljod - Gap Var Ginnunga'

Norwegian folk project Wardruna delivers something truly extraordinary with "Runaljod - Gap Var Ginnunga", the first installment in their ambitious trilogy exploring the ancient Norse runes. This isn't just another folk album – it's a deeply immersive journey into pre-Christian Scandinavian spirituality that feels both ancient and startlingly relevant. The album's title references the primordial void from Norse creation mythology, and Einar Selvik's vision brings these concepts to life through a masterful blend of traditional instruments, throat singing, and field recordings that transport listeners to misty Nordic forests.

What makes this release so compelling is how Wardruna manages to create music that feels authentically historical while remaining completely accessible to modern ears. Each track corresponds to a specific rune, with compositions like "Hagall" and "Bjarkan" weaving together haunting vocals, primitive percussion, and instruments like the tagelharpa and mouth harp. The production captures every nuance of these organic sounds, creating an atmosphere that's both meditative and powerful. This is essential listening for anyone interested in the intersection of music, history, and spirituality.

For fans of: Heilung, Danheim, Forndom, and Myrkur
