{"product_id":"wardruna-lp-runaljod-ragnarok","title":"Wardruna LP - Runaljod - Ragnarok","description":"\u003cp\u003eWardruna reissues new Gatefold 2LP of their album \"Runaljod – Ragnarok\". It is the third installment in a trilogy of albums that began with \"Runaljod – gap var Ginnunga\" (2009) and continued with \"Runaljod – Yggdrasil\" (2013). In short, the ambitious idea behind the trilogy was to create musical interpretations of each of the twenty-four old Nordic runes. It proved to be a lengthy and challenging task. Some of the material on the album even date back to 2003 and the early stages of the project, when multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Einar Selvik started to develop the genre-defying sound and style that Wardruna have become known for. It is a contemporary sound, but one that is characterized by the use of old and historical instruments like Kraviklyra, taglharpe, goat horns, birch-bark lures and more. The vocals range from whispering voices to melodic song and mighty choirs. All performed with sincerity and conviction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMusically and conceptually there is a clear continuity between all three of the albums, but with time and experience comes refinement. And new elements have certainly been added along the way. Most notable on \"Runaljod – Ragnarok\" is the use of the Scandinavian bronze lures, whose iconic sound and appearance make them a perfect fit with Wardruna’s instrumentation and concept. Special guest performances by Einar’s own children and Skarvebarna children's choir must also be noted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Runaljod – Ragnarok\" was written, recorded and produced by Einar Selvik from 2003 to 2016 at his own Fimbulljóð studio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"RUNALJOD – RAGNAROK\" LINE-UP:\u003cbr\u003eEinar Selvik: Vocals, taglharpe, Kraviklyra, goat horn, tongue horn, bronze lure, flutes, drums, percussion and electronics.\u003cbr\u003eLindy-Fay Hella: Vocals.\u003cbr\u003eEilif Gundersen: Bronze lure, birchbark lure, goat horn, willow flute and ice percussion.\u003cbr\u003eArne Sandvoll: Vocals.\u003cbr\u003eHC Dalgaard: Vocals.\u003cbr\u003eKjell Braaten: Vocals.\u003cbr\u003eAsk Einarson Nybro and Tuva J.
