Reconstruction
Wardruna is a musical project based on Nordic mythology and spirituality. As their website explains, they rework Norse poetry and narratives: "With the use of the oldest of Nordic instruments and poetic metres as well as lyrics written in Norwegian, Old Norse and Proto-Norse tongue". The group was founded by Einar Selvik. The website features several audio clips and music videos.
