Wardruna release new video, announce live album
Today, Wardruna release an official music video for their song Skugge (Shadow, in English). The song is an eerie sonic journey, voicing a dialogue between man and shadow or as Einar Selvik puts it; “it is a song about shadows, echoes and the balance between seeking answers and wisdom internally and externally”. The video was filmed and produced in Norway by Ragnarok Film in January 2022.
To shorten the wait for their upcoming release First Flight Of The White Raven (out on April 22nd 2022), the live version of the song is also released on all digital platforms via Music For Nations/Sony Music/Columbia Germany/ByNorse.
In 2022, a year after the release of Kvitravn and as a prelude to the forthcoming live dates, Wardruna are presenting Kvitravn – First Flight Of The White Raven– a release on two CD, and digital formats, including the original Kvitravn studio album of 2021, plus a audio release captured from their lauded, boundary-pushing virtual live experience First Flight Of The White Raven of March 26th 2021. This new release captures their special set list consisting of songs from Kvitravn and fan favorites from across their discography.

“Kvitravn – First Flight Of The White Raven is an audio-visual recording that was broadcasted online, as the release show of the Kvitravn album. It was recorded in a time when it was not allowed to perform in front of an audience, which made it very important for me that the recording itself truly captured the energy of a live performance. What you hear, is what we performed in that moment in that room. No re-recordings or auto-tune was done in the after work. Just like for a regular concert, the set list was carefully put together with a selection of songs from all our albums, including a handful songs from the new album, which we performed for the very first time. On the day of recording, we all stood together in the same room for the first time in over a year. Everyone came focused and well prepared and the energy felt like no time had passed. I hope you will agree!”
