Album Notes & Community Reviews

Serving as an acoustic departure from their expansive, cinematic trilogies, 'Skald' strips down the arrangements to feature primarily Einar Selvik's vocals and historically recreated instruments like the Kraviklyra. The release was captured in a live-in-the-studio setting to preserve the raw, storytelling essence of the ancient poetic traditions.
