SKÁLD
French Nordic folk ensemble SKÁLD conjure the spirit of the Viking Age through haunting vocal arrangements sung primarily in Old Norse, accompanied by traditional instruments like the talharpa, jouhikko, and shamanic drums. Their albums 'Vikings Chant,' 'Vikings Memories,' and 'Huldufólk' draw from the Poetic Edda and Norse mythology to create immersive sonic journeys through the ancient Scandinavian world. Despite being French rather than Scandinavian, SKÁLD's scholarly approach to Norse tradition and their powerful, ritualistic performances have earned them a passionate international following.
