Wardruna

Wardruna is a Norwegian musical constellation set out to explore and evoke the depths of heathen Germanic wisdom and spirituality. Musically Wardruna has its main focus on the cultic musical language found in the near-forgotten arts of galdr, seidr and the daily acts of the cultic life, mixed with impulses from Scandinavian and Nordic folk music. They formed in 2003 in Bergen, Norway. The album entitled ‘Gap var Ginnunga’ is the first in a planned trilogy that will interpret the runes of the Elder Futhark.

Majorstuen

"Hardcore fiddle music" is how the band describes their music. 6 young fiddle players have created a unique sound based on Norwegian traditional folk music. The band won a "Spellemannspris" for their first album "Majorstuen" and is currently in studio, recording their third album, which will have a Christmas theme and will be released in November. Three of the members of Majorstuen managed to get to the final round (securing 3 of 6 slots) at "Landskappleiken" (a tournament of sorts for folk musicians) 2006, attesting to their musicial abilities.
