🎧 Now playing: Runaljod: Gap Var Ginnunga by Wardruna. Released in 2009, this debut album initiates their trilogy exploring the Elder Futhark runes. Wardruna employs traditional Nordic instruments and ancient languages to craft immersive soundscapes. Tracks like "Hagal" and "Bjarkan" transport listeners to the heart of Norse mythology. A profound auditory journey into ancient traditions.

I promissed you #music and #vinyl content, and here it comes 🎵

My first order this year, containing the entire still available #discography of the #norwegian #norse #folkmusc group #Wardruna - at least according to their official online shop.

I actually knew this band and the mastermind behind them - #EinarSelvik - a while before; probably due to the #Vikings tv-series or due to the #AssassinsCreedValhalla soundtrack that he did; however I also remember looking them up and finding out that all their releases where sold out. So, even though I tried to keep track of them, I lost them out of my sight, again.

However, end of last year I stumbled upon them again (probably because we where planing a trip to #Norway and I was looking for typical norwegian music), and found out that they would be releasing a new album #Birna beginning of February this year. And I was delighted to find out that *nearly* all releases got some kind of re-release, in a form that interested me. So I got what I could:

- The Runaljod Trilogy Vinyl Deluxe Boxset; containing their initial three albums "Gap var Ginnunga" (2009), "Yggdrasil" (2013) and "Ragnarok" (2016), in beautiful new color variants fitting their cover artworks. Only downside: the original vinyl releases came in 6-panel Gatefolds with printed lyrics; however these got a new consitent sleek matte black slipcase, printed inner sleeves, and a hardcover book 😍

- The Runaljod Trilogy Book; which is basically the #CD version of it 💿

- Skald; the Vinly is not available, so I could only get the Digipak; however I found out that there was also a 2024 #RecordStoreDay variant, that is still affordable; will try to hunt that one down, next 🕵️

- Kvitravn is unfortunately still sold out, but the corresponding live album "First Flight of the White Raven" was still available in standard black 🕊

- Birna; their newest release, in an incredibly awesome looking colored vinyl version 🐻
