For years now Wardruna founder Einar Selvik have done acoustic concerts and lectures, performing Wardruna songs on his own, as well as creations made for the TV-show Vikings in an acoustic format. Now parts of this material has finally been recorded “live in studio” in Solslottet Studio in Bergen, and is set for release today through By Norse.
“Skald” takes the listener on a musical journey outside the massive soundscape that Wardruna is known for and into a simpler and more direct form, where voice, poetry and ancient instruments like Kravik-lyre, Taglharpa and Bukkehorn lead the way.
