Wardruna release new music video for ‘Hertan’

WARDRUNA have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Hertan, is the brand new single from the Norwegian Nordic folk collective and marks their first new music since their last studio album, Kvitravn, which was released back in January 2021.

Speaking about the new song, band mastermind Einar Selvik says, “Hertan is the proto-Scandinavian word for ‘heart’ and that is exactly what we explore in this in this song and film. The duality of the heart with the rhythm, flow and pulse we can see, hear, and feel in nature and in all forms of life – and the more abstract idea of the heart, The rudder on the ship of emotions, our decisions, and our true desires.”

For the new music video, the band teamed up with Finnish director and photographer Tuukka Koski. Koski has previously directed WARDRUNA‘s videos for Raido, Voluspá, and Grá. This time, the production mainly took place during some freezing nights in northern Finland at the island of Hailouto.

“It is always a true pleasure to create art with Tuukka and his colleagues at Breakfast Helsinki!” Selvik says. “His experience and eye for detail as well as the ability to always conjure up next-level material, is very inspiring to be part of. Three days, three locations, no sleep but a lot of heart. This is how it went down. Hope you will enjoy the result!”
