The world of Wardruna, populated by wolves and white crows (Kvitravn), has its seat in the vast mountainous and wooded expanses of the far North. This group is Norwegian, and draws on ancient traditions and beliefs, in which spirits and nature are intimately linked and respected. This fifth album by former black metal band Einar Selvik, Kvitravn reaffirms the power of his pagan neo-folk. The powerful voices of Selvik and singer Lindy Fay Hella, supported by ancient instruments (kravik lyre, tagelharpa harp and bukkehorn, carved from a goat's horn, and imposing percussion), sounds of nature and electronic textures, cry out for a reconciliation of man with his instincts and the Earth. On Lyfjaberg they evoke the healing power of the mountain, on the weavers' song Andvevarljod they invite the most respected traditional singers of Norway (Kirsten Bråten Berg, Sigrid Berg, Unni Løvlid, Ingebjørg Reinholdt) to back up their incantations. A record driving towards reconnection. © Benjamin MiNiMuM/Qobuz
