Wardruna release new song ‘Andvevarljod’

WARDRUNA have released a brand new song!

The new song, titled Andvevarljod (The Song of The Spirit-Weavers), is taken from Norwegian folk group’s upcoming new album, Kvitravn, which is scheduled to be released in January.

The new song is a central piece on the new album and 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 Lindy-Fay Hella.

Speaking about the new song, band mastermind Einar Selvik says, “on a personal level, Andvevarljod 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!”

Kvitravn is set for release on January 22nd via Music For Nations. Pre-orders are available now and can be purchased here.
