Wardruna julkaisi uuden ”Himinndotter” -singlen tulevalta albumiltaan

Norjalainen Wardruna on julkaissut uuden ”Himinndottir” -singlen 24. tammikuuta julkaistavalta ”Birna” -albumiltaan. Kappaleelle tehtiin myös musiikkivideo, jonka ohjauksesta vastasi jälleen Tuukka Koski.
Yhtye kertoo:

From the deep woods emerges ”Birna”, our sixth studio album. Birna – the she-bear in Old Norse – is a work of art dedicated to the warden of the forest, nature’s caretaker, and her battles here on earth. We are excited to present the song and music video for “Himinndotter” (Sky-daughter) from the new record. The song constitues a search and a calling for our lost sister of the woods.
The bear frequently figures in the oldest myths of mankind in the northern hemisphere, and many indigenous people still regard this animal as a totem, honouring it with rites and songs. The title of the single plays on the globally common notion of the bears mythical origin as a celestial being. It was once our respected guardian, our guide to edible plants and berries, a creature we both feared and admired.
“Himinndotter” features guest appearance of the Norwegian choir Koret Artemis. The video was filmed in Rondane National Park in Norway and directed by longtime collaborator Tuukka Koski, and produced by Breakfast Helsinki and Ragnarok Film.
