Edda

H.L. We discovered VÈVAKI during this year's holiday in Iceland and as their dark folk music fits perfectly well to the rough but beautiful landscape their latest album "Fórnspeki" became a major part of our holiday playlist. Back home I purchased "Edda" as well. It is similar and offers the same mystical atmosphere but appears less multi-faceted and intensive as their latest masterpiece. Anyway, dark rituals like "Þá Kvað Völva" or "Hétumk Grímr" are excellent mind trips to ancient Iceland! Favorite track: Hétumk Grímr.

Krowoff Dark Folk isnt sufficient anymore. This is Doom Folk. Edda reaches out and invites me to dive deep into a slow spaced dark drone soundscape. And I take the offer. Favorite track: Vafþrúðnir.

demargot the pain and struggle of ancient time sings in this. how far our ancestors came with inner force. the resilient were gifted by our divine Earth. not judged by how long but by how well. yet today this sings like an oracle, again to face an era of siege, with courage how well will the resilient take up their shield. Favorite track: Vegtamskviða.

colt06 I Love this album, makes me think of viking times..i play Long er Nott over and over its an amazing track....great album Favorite track: Löng er Nótt.

about

"Edda" is a compilation of various poems and stories from the Poetic Edda, or "Elder Edda" put to music. These stories are part of the biggest collection of anonymous Old Norse poetry dating as far back as 800 AD, and have inspired many artists and musicians throughout the ages. This album seeks to bring to life some of these tales, and to help the listener forge a connection with them.
