So, with my \u2018A Condensed History<\/a>\u2019 completed, I can now start to delve deeper into some of the key moments, albums, happenings & daily musings and discuss the many genres that have entered the canon of musicfan6160<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Last night I was listening to Wardruna<\/a>: a Norwegian band classified as \u2018Dark Nordic Folk\u2019 in The Guardian\u2019s 16-02-2021 article<\/a>. The article was an excellent signpost to this genre and Wardruna\u2019s website provides more dark, brooding evocative videos to immerse yourself in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Listening to Wardruna is like walking barefoot (as Einar Selvik does in the videos) through forests of pine trees, across rough, rugged land to stand by ice cold waterfalls in mountain ranges as the clouds scurry by, all in a thin shirt. Your Mother would have kittens – \u201cyou\u2019ll catch your death\u201d. We\u2019re hardy folk, us Northerners (I\u2019m from \u2018up North\u2019, in England originally, not Norway but I understand the sentiment).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wardruna released a new album on the 22 January this year entitled \u201cKvitravn\u201d. Kvitravn means White Raven in English.<\/p>\n\n\n\nNot So Grim: Wardruna<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
