Wardruna - Skald - VINYL LP

From the deep woods now emerges Birna, Wardruna's sixth studio album, scheduled for January 24, 2025 through Sony Music and By Norse Music. Through his never resting dialogue with nature, main composer Einar Selvik has been searching for the voice of the bear. Birna - the she-bear in Old Norse - is a work of art dedicated to the warden of the forest, nature's caretaker, and her battles here on earth. Slowly driven out of her habitat by modern day societies, she has entered a stage of permanent hibernation. As a result, the forest is gradually dying, longing for it's pulse and heart - it's shepherd. Birna calls for her return. The bear frequently figures in the oldest myths of mankind in the northern hemisphere, and many indigenous people still regard this animal as a totem, honouring it with rites and songs. Instruments and wisdom from ancient times, coupled with modern day soundscapes and recorded sounds of nature, provide a rare opportunity to tell us something valuable about ourselves. It works as a reminder that we are part of nature, not above it, and it offers a way of remembering, not for memory's own sake, but to gain both new and forgotten insights. Album Tracks 1. Hertan 2.

Ancient spirits awaken as French Nordic folk act SKÁLD extend an invitation into times long gone but not forgotten. Ørlog (out September 25, 2026) is their first album with Napalm Records, and it is our destiny. As the Norns weave our future, this album is a fascinating passageway into our pristine origins and the consequences of our choices. Ten songs as stepping stones, Ørlog is an offering to listen, to dwell, to reflect-and to find something within yourself previously unknown. SKÁLD don't just play music, they awaken ancient ways. A staple band in the neofolk genre-recently proven by a Hellfest performance-SKÁLD deliver a work of art, deferentially using their sources to form the enchanting world of Ørlog. The language might sound unfamiliar, but the music still touches the soul.
