Wardruna release new music video for ‘Lyfjaberg’

WARDRUNA have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Lyfjaberg, is the brand new song from the acclaimed Norwegian group and comes in response to the band were forced to delay their upcoming new album, Kvitravn, to January next year due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

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.

The video for Lyfjaberg was mainly filmed in the mountains at Tustna in Norway. The band shot the video in early May, when all of a sudden winter decided to return with full strength and they ended up wading in half a metre of snow for three days and nights. On many levels, the process of making this video reflected the meaning of the song itself. They all had to climb a few of their inner mountains to get it done.

Speaking about the track, band mastermind Einar Selvik says, “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.”
