Hagalaz' Runedance @ Reviews


Volven @ Sonic Seducer
The runedance goes on. The perfect music for this offers Andrea Nebel Haugen, who already with her debut album The Winds that Sang of Midgard's Fate made a name for herself in the pagan scene and not only there. Rarely does one find today (where everybody, no matter how untalented, can release a CD) music with such depths and quality... Shamanistic and tribal drums, accompanied by harmonic sounding, magical singing and a variety of acoustic instruments: in the end, one cannot compare the music of Hagalaz' Runedance with another popular band. Andrea's music is not only beautiful and deep. The music is clad in very thought-through lyrics and takes one away into ritualistic and magical worlds, where those who are conscious of their roots will feel at home. Not only musically and magically is the music unique, but Andrea is still one of the few women who not only knows the northern mythology and practices its religion, but also represents it in public. Maybe Volven will achieve that more people will get into the wisdom of the old times, because here are ten pieces of music that enchant, inspire and delight.
