Norwegian progressive folk collective WARDRUNA have released a third single from their forthcoming album Kvitravn, and it’s a mesmerising, atmospheric, ten-minute epic. 

Andvevarljod, which translates in English as ‘The Song of The Spirit-Weavers’, explores the Nordic deities of fate (the Norns), the spinning of life threads and the Norse and Sámi common idea that a person’s spirit is connected to wind, both before and after birth.

It features guest appearances by Norwegian traditional singers Kirsten Bråten Berg, Sigrid Berg, Unni Løvlid and Ingebjørg Reinholdt alongside WARDRUNA’s own Lindy-Fay Hella.
 
The release of Andvevarljod follows on from the October release of the album’s title track, Kvitravn. A first single from the album, Lyfjaberg, was released in June.
