WARDRUNA RUNALJOD – RAGNAROK

WARDRUNA – RUNALJOD – RAGNAROK – LP 2LP PICTURE DISC

Wardruna reissues new Picture Disc Gatefold 2LP of their album “Runaljod – Ragnarok”. It is the third installment in a trilogy of albums that began with “Runaljod – gap var Ginnunga” (2009) and continued with “Runaljod – Yggdrasil” (2013). In short, the ambitious idea behind the trilogy was to create musical interpretations of each of the twenty-four old Nordic runes. It proved to be a lengthy and challenging task. Some of the material on the album even date back to 2003 and the early stages of the project, when multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Einar Selvik started to develop the genre defying sound and style that Wardruna have become known for. It is a contemporary sound, but one that is characterized by the use of old and historical instruments like Kraviklyra, taglharpe, goat horns, birch-bark lures and more.
