Helgisi​ð​ur - THE RITUAL

New album out now!

"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...

 

Helgisiður is available on all major streaming platforms and can also be purchased on Bandcamp (this version includes the full 35 minute experience as one track with an added ambient soundscape).

NEW SOUNDTRACK
What's Left Unsaid

The soundtrack for the short film 'What's Left Unsaid' is now available on Amazon, iTunes, Spotify and various other online streaming platforms and stores.

In this short drama, an estranged couple has to deal with their crumbling relationship during the aftermath of a severe car crash.

Relying on piano, strings and brass (with the help of a few electronic touches), the score takes a very minimalistic and intimate orchestral approach to support the emotional drama unfolding throughout the films runtmie until it all culminates in a brief, all-out orchestral finale.

Ragnarok is my first exploration of Dark Nordic Folk music and more projects that further develop the melodies and themes established in this first album.
