Birk Garlef Drude - Helgisiður

“Helgisiður - The Ritual“ offers a unique immersive listening experience that transports us into a mysterious clearing within an ancient forest. Here, villagers gather for celebtrations and ceremonies, rituals are performed and incantations are chanted, while bloodthirsty warriors prepare themselves for battle. 9 atmospheric and sometimes experimental Nordic Folk tracks us trough this rich tapestry of sound, complimented by wind, rain and the thunder of the gods. Together, let us experience a musical journey into our past...
