In collaboration with By Norse Music, Wardruna will be headlining a series of concerts under the flag

“Nordic Nights Summer Open Air Tour” taking place in a selection of outstanding venues across

Europe.

After the memorable “Nordic Night at Red Rocks Amphitheatre” in the US and the successfully

launched “Nordic Night at Gelsenkirchen” Release Show on May 2nd 2021, Wardruna and By Norse

Music expand this concept into a full-on Nordic Night Summer Open Air Tour in support of the new

Wardruna album «Kvitravn» (White Raven) that is set for worldwide release on January 22nd, 2021.

The new Wardruna album «Kvitravn» (White Raven) musically continues where the Runaljod trilogy

left off, yet it marks a distinct evolution in our sound. The album features a broad selection of both

traditional and historical instruments such as Kravik-lyre, Trossingen-lyre, Taglharpa, Sotharpa,

Langeleik, Crwth, Goat-horn, Lur, Bronze-lur, flute, the Moraharpa. The record also features guest

appearances by a small group of prominent traditional singers, spearheaded by Kirsten Bråten Berg,

one of the most important custodians of Norwegian traditional song. Throughout eleven songs,

Kvitravn discusses Northern sorcery, spirit-animals, shadows, nature and animism, the wisdom and

meanings of certain myths, various Norse spiritual concepts, and the relation between sage and songs.

Einar Selvik comments the album:

„To recite and copy the past is not very difficult, but to understand and integrate ancient thoughts,

tools and methods with real purpose into a creation that is relevant to the

modern era is truly challenging and remains our prime goal in our work. Although the album carries a

variant of my own totemic artist name, it has, in this context, little to do with me but rather refers to the

symbolism and legends of sacred white animals found in Nordic and other cultures all over the world. These

highly regarded ghostly creatures, whether a raven, snake, bear, moose, reindeer, elephant or lion – are in

animist traditions seen as prophetic, divine messengers, and guardians representing renewal, purity and a

bridge between worlds”

You can now pre order the album in various formats and bundles at www.wardruna.com!
