SKALD - Huldufólk (2023) [Hi-Res]

Take an incredible musical journey back over a millennium to the dark ages and check out Huldufólk, the new album from SKÁLD. Picture a roaring open fire and wooden totems of once powerful gods, people with painted faces drinking Meade and dancing in joy. The male and female voices chant and sing through the smoky darkness in a long-forgotten tongue. Huldufólk is stories of our ancestors travelling across time to the modern world, its language is alien to us now yet somehow comforting and still relevant in a digital world.

SKÁLD is the brainchild of Christophe Voisin-Boisvinet who composed and wrote Huldufólk using over a dozen talented musicians with the skills to play a whole host of traditional instruments to create the stories of Trolls, Elves and Nymphs who lived alongside the humans in old Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Iceland and the Faroe Islands during the times of the heroes and heroines who helped discover and shape our modern world.
