Kvitravn – First Flight of the White Raven • 21 Jan. 2022

We have the immense pleasure to announce the upcoming release on April 22nd, 2022 of "Kvitravn – First Flight of the White Raven", an audio-visual recording that was broadcasted online on March 26th, 2021, being the release show of the «Kvitravn» album. The release will be available in various digital and physical formats.

To give it wings, the live version of "Solringen" is already available in digital formats and on YouTube.

Einar comments:
"This was recorded in a time when it was not allowed to perform in front of an audience, which made it very important for me that the recording itself truly captured the energy of a live performance. What you will hear, is what we performed in that moment in that room. No re-recordings or autotune was done in the afterwork. Just like for a regular concert, the set list was carefully put together with a selection of songs from all our albums, including a handful songs from the new album, which we performed for the very first time. On the day of recording, we all stood together in the same room for the first time in over a year. Everyone came focused and well prepared and the energy felt like no time had passed. I hope you will agree!"

Pre-orders for the new release are available as limited box set, 2CD, 2LP and digital release on wardrunashop.com

Limited edition box set contents.





European Tour Rescheduled, New Dates Added • 28 Oct. 2021

Due to the still uncertain situation with constant changes in regulations and unique travel restrictions from country to country, we have no option but to move our European tour to 2022 and 2023. On a more positive note, we added a few extra concerts to the existing tour dates.

Two of the European Tour dates are now upgraded and part of the Nordic Night Open Air Tour! In Serbia on July 11 we now play the Tasmajdan Stadium. In Bratislava we will play the outstanding venue of Castle Devin on July 13.

Your tickets remain valid for the new dates. If you have any question about your ticket, please contact your ticket office.

On behalf of myself and the whole Wardruna-team, I would like to thank you for your patience, understanding and support throughout this challenging period.

Andvevarljod Single Out Now! • 23 Dec. 2020

The song is a central piece on the new album "Kvitravn". It explores the Nordic deities of fate; the Norns, the spinning of life threads and the Norse and Sámi common idea that a person’s spirit is connected to wind, both before and after birth. The song features guest appearances by a small group of prominent Norwegian traditional singers, Kirsten Bråten Berg, Sigrid Berg, Unni Løvlid, Ingebjørg Reinholdt alongside our own Lindy-Fay Hella.

Einar Selvik comments:
"On a personal level, Andvevarljod (Song of the Spirit-Weavers) is a song I hold very dear and it was also my starting point on the new album. Musically, it gives voice to very old song traditions and on top of that it is voiced by some of the most central reasons why these traditions are being kept alive for us and the generations to come. So, special thanks go out to our guest singers for lending us their talents and for the invaluable work they do for keeping our traditions alive!"

Stream the song here: https://orcd.co/andvevarljod

Also, to mark the winter solstice Einar performed a skaldic version of Andvevarljod. The video is available on YouTube: https://youtu.be/99N6XWUeKdg





Kvitravn Music Video and Single Out Now! • 16 Oct. 2020

Kvitravn (White Raven) is the title track from our upcoming album. It’s a song that explores traditions of animal-guides and the symbolism and legends of sacred white animals found in Nordic- and other cultures all over the world. These highly regarded ghostly creatures, whether a raven, snake, bear, moose, reindeer, elephant or lion – are in animist traditions seen as prophetic, divine messengers, and guardians representing renewal, purity and a bridge between worlds.

Watch on YouTube or Vimeo

The lyrics and English translations are found in the description below the video. The song is also available on all major digital music platforms.

The video was shot in various locations in Norway and Russia and was produced by Ragnarok Film – the same team responsible for our previous video for the song “Lyfjaberg”. Being fully aware of how rare it is to come across white ravens, we knew from the start that this would be an ambitious and challenging task to pull off. However, fate seemed to be on our side in this and the “impossible” piece of the puzzle fell into place as if gifted from the divine. We hope you will enjoy and give it wings!

The full album is set for worldwide release on January 22, 2021 and can be pre-ordered in various formats and bundles from the following stores:

Lyfjaberg Video and 12" Vinyl Single • 5 Jun. 2020

To climb the Healing-mountain is a journey for the mind and spirit as much as the feet and body. Anything of true value, comes at a true cost.

Lyfjaberg was mainly filmed in the mountains at Tustna in Norway. We shot the video in early May, when all of a sudden winter decided to return with full strength and we ended up wading in half a meter snow for three days and nights. On many levels, the process of making of this video reflected the meaning of the song itself. We all had to climb a few of our inner mountains to get it done. Huge thanks to Ragnarok Film and everyone involved for jumping into this project with full force from day one. We hope you will endure the walk and enjoy the song!

Watch on YouTube or Vimeo

The lyrics and English translations are found in the description below the video. The song is also available on all digital platforms and you can even order a special limited 12” vinyl here:

North America: wardruna.aisamerch.com





Lyfjaberg • 26 May 2020

When circumstances forced us to postpone the release of our upcoming album “Kvitravn”, it was clear to us that we still wanted to release new music. Music and art can potentially carry great meaning in times of uncertainty. We decided that now was not the time to stay silent and headed straight back into creative mode and the studio to write and record the song "Lyfjaberg".

The Old Norse word Lyfjaberg means Healing-hill or Healing-mountain and is known from Norse mythology and the Eddic poem Fjölsvinnsmál as a place of comfort and cure for the "sick and sore" who manage to climb the mountain and bear offerings at the shrines there – a gift demands a gift in return.

Einar Selvik comments:
"The song expresses that climbing a tough mountain, both in reality and metaphorically, is a mental as well as a physical effort. I have tried to write this journey up the mountain as one for the mind and spirit as much as the feet and body. Anything of true value, comes at a true cost."

Lyfjaberg will be available on all digital platforms on June 5th.

Grá Music Video Out Now • 21 Feb. 2020

Grá (Grey) is our song to the wolf. It speaks about the ancient bond and relationship between man and wolf. It seeks to address and acknowledge the cost and responsibility of being part of, and not above nature. Once again, we were given the opportunity go to Finland and work with a beautiful and brave rescued wolf called Tihu and her caretakers. The video was directed by our friend Tuukka Koski and his team at Koski Syväri.

Grá is also released as a single on all major digital music platforms today!

Kvitravn • 7 Feb. 2020

It is with great pleasure we announce that our new album "Kvitravn" (White Raven) is set for worldwide release on June 5th, 2020 (Postponed to January 22nd, 2021). The first song will be released February 21st.

You can now pre-order the album in various formats and bundles at www.wardruna.com

We would also like to announce that our only mainland European show during the week of release is taking place on 11th of June at the Gelsenkirchen Amphitheater. You can now purchase a limited ticket/album bundle including signed tickets by Einar Selvik ahead of the regular tickets that are being released on Monday. Order here: wardruna.merchcowboy.com

US-based store, please visit: wardruna.aisamerch.com

About the album:
Following an intensive period in the studio, "Kvitravn" musically continues where the Runaljod trilogy left off, yet it marks a distinct evolution in our sound. The album features a broad selection of both traditional and historical instruments such as Kravik-lyre, Trossingen-lyre, Taglharpa, Sotharpa, Langeleik, Crwth, Goat-horn, Lur, Bronze-lur, flute, Moraharpa and the record also features guest appearances by a small group of prominent traditional singers, spearheaded by Kirsten Bråten Berg, one of the most important custodians of Norwegian traditional song. Throughout eleven songs, "Kvitravn" discusses Northern sorcery, spirit-animals, shadows, nature and animism, the wisdom and meanings of certain myths, various Norse spiritual concepts, and the relation between sage and songs.

Einar Selvik comments the album:
"To recite and copy the past is not very difficult, but to understand and integrate ancient thoughts, tools and methods with real purpose into a creation that is relevant to the modern era is truly challenging and remains our prime goal in our work. Although the album carries a variant of my own totemic artist name, it has, in this context, little to do with me but rather refers to the symbolism and legends of sacred white animals found in Nordic and other cultures all over the world. These highly regarded ghostly creatures, whether a raven, snake, bear, moose, reindeer, elephant or lion - are in animist traditions seen as prophetic, divine messengers, and guardians representing renewal, purity and a bridge between worlds."





Runaljod Trilogy Book and 3CD • 15 Nov. 2019

2019 marks ten years since Wardruna released the first part of the ‘Runaljod’ trilogy. We are thrilled to celebrate its conclusion and see all three albums into a special limited book edition including original lyrics together with English translations and exclusive pictures.

Einar Selvik comments:
‘Ten years since the first release but almost twenty years since the first recording was made. It has been quite a journey so far, yet it feels like we just got started. The Runaljod albums are originally released on two different record labels and I am happy to collaborate with Indie Recordings and my own label ByNorse for a license and the opportunity to FINALLY release the complete trilogy, the way it should, as one single product.’

The Runaljod Trilogy Book + 3CD is available now in the Wardruna online stores. The first 1000 copies include a bookmark autographed by Einar Selvik.

EU based store:
wardrunashop.com

2020 Tour Dates and New Music in the Works • 11 Oct. 2019

‘2019 marks ten years since Wardruna’s first release and in the spring, a new chapter will start. I don’t wish to reveal too much at this point but can say that we are now deep into the process of writing and recording new music. For the upcoming album we are partnering up with Sony Music / Columbia Records. This is a new steppingstone for us and I am very confident that this new addition to the team will give us new opportunities to further develop our art and take it to the next level. Wardruna has been a DIY to-the-bone kind of project since the very beginning. Slowly and patiently evolving. Working hard and always keeping the art itself as the primary decisive factor. This will never change for us, and so it feels great to have top notch people on our team that also embrace this way of working. When Wardruna rise up from the current studio-hibernation and initiate the concert-year of 2020, it is clearly allowed to hope for new music!’

Hugsjá – World Premiere in Bergen • 15 Feb. 2017

Bergen International Festival will feature new music by Wardruna’s Einar Selvik and Ivar Bjørnson from Enslaved in May–June this year.

New work by Einar Selvik (Wardruna, Vikings) and Ivar Bjørnson (Enslaved) will be featured by the Bergen International Festival in May–June this year.

Selvik and Bjørnson’s new collaborative endeavours Nordvegen and Hugsjá continues to combine the ancient and contemporary with Norse and Norwegian poetry, accompanied by instruments from the Stone Age up to the present day.

A series of concerts under the name Nordvegen (‘the northern road’ – an ancient shipping route connecting Norway to the rest of world for some 3000 years), will be performed in four venues along the west coast of Norway in late May and early June. The audience will be taken on a spectacular journey along this route in a musical declaration of love to Norwegian coastal culture and Norse history. Bjørnson and Selvik have designed the concerts inspired by local history for each of these places. The Nordvegen concerts create an acoustic and intimate basis for the grandiose commissioned work Hugsjá, which will receive its world premiere Bergen concert hall Grieghallen on May 31.

The word hugsjá means to remember – literally ‘to see in the mind’. Focused on ideas, traditions and instruments from our Norse past, the work recounts Norwegian history while drawing lines to the present.

For details about the concerts, dates and venues, please visit http://www.fib.no/en

Tickets are on sale from February 15.
