Einar Selvik - Assassin's Creed Valhalla: The Wave of Giants (2020) [Hi-Res]

“WAVE OF GIANTS” - Original songs from Assassin´s Creed Valhalla by EINAR SELVIK.
Available digitally on December 4th through Lakeshore Records.

“Wave of Giants” is and old Norse poetic metaphor meaning POETRY which refers to the myth when the god Odin stole the mead of poetry from Kvasir the Jotun/giant. The title felt very appropriate since much of my efforts on Assassin's Creed Valhalla has been about giving voice to the Skalds and the poetic traditions that once laid at the heart of the Norse culture. New, as well as existing Old Norse poetry accompanied by ancient Norse and Nordic instruments, tonalities and rhythms - both the format of minimalistic and unpolished live-in-studio recordings as well as fully produced pieces more similar to the soundscape of Wardruna. This album gives a good taste of my work in the game as well as a feel for the game itself!
