‘Runaljod - gap var Ginnunga’ LP Edition • 20 Aug. 2011

The LP edition of ‘Runaljod - gap var Ginnunga’ was finally released earlier this month by Burning World Records in cooperation with Alone Records.

The album is pressed on two 180-gram heavyweight vinyl records (available in either black or white) and housed in a sumptuous triple gatefold sleeve which also contains a 24-page booklet with lyrics, liner notes, photos and artwork.

This is without doubt the premium format on which to own Wardruna's much acclaimed debut album!

The album will of course also be sold at Wardruna's special concert (which you can read more about here) in Bergen next week.

An Update on Wardruna • 21 Oct. 2010

The increasing amount of e-mails I receive inquiring about the next album in the Runaljod trilogy tells me it is about time I shed some light on the current status of this project.

Since the release of ‘gap var Ginnunga’ in 2009, it has taken a while for me to find the time, space and focus which I know is necessary for making this music. As with the first album, I will not and cannot rush this work, it must be allowed to take its course. I know this may sound like bad news, but you can rest assured I'm well under way in the creative process, both writing and recording music for ‘Runaljod – Yggdrasil’. It is of course too early to talk about a release date, but I hope to be done in a year or so. I will share more specific information about the album later in the process. And perhaps some samples of the new music.

In other news, we have expanded wardruna.com a bit. We now have dedicated pages for our picture and video galleries. There’s loads of new pictures, so please have a look. No new videos though, but we’re working on that.

Speaking of site updates, recently we added a couple of new items in the web shop. The design of the linen tunics have been improved and we can now also offer a version made of wool felt. New rune sets (the Younger Futhark, 16 runes) are also available along with a nice little book called ‘The Viking Runes’, which serves as a great introduction to the magical use of the Younger Futhark. It’s written by Lars Magnar Enoksen (a Swedish writer, runologist and glima wrestler) and is based only upon runologic facts and other reliable sources on the runes. It is therefore not colored by the authors own perception of them, which is the reason I can fully endorse it. For people who are new to the runes, it is my humble opinion that the 16 runes of the Younger Futhark serves as a better starting point than the 24 runes of the Elder Futhark.

That’s all for now. Thank you for reading and for taking such warm interest in Wardruna.

Wardruna Live at the Viking Ship Museum – At Night • 26 Feb. 2010

On April 9th, 2009 Wardruna was the first band to ever play a concert in front of the majestic Viking ships at the Viking Ship Museum at Bygdøy in Oslo, Norway. About a year later, on March 30th, 2010, they will return to do the same again, but this time the concert will take place in the evening. This will surely make it an even more atmospheric concert than the previous one which was held during the regular daytime opening hours of the museum.

Like last year, this special concert is a part of the Inferno Music Conference. Tickets are available at Billettservice.no.
