Wardruna release new song and video for “Himinndotter”
From the deep woods now emerges Birna, Wardruna’s sixth studio album, scheduled for January 24, 2025 through Sony Music and By Norse Music. Through his never resting dialogue with nature, main composer Einar Selvik has been searching for the voice of the bear.
The Norwegian constellation is now releasing the new single and music video for “Himinndotter.” The song constitutes a search and a calling for our lost sister of the woods.
Composer Einar Selvik states “Himinndotter (Sky-daughter) is part of a six-song exploration of the bear on Wardruna´s upcoming album Birna (She-bear). The title plays on the globally common notion of the bears mythical origin as a celestial being. Himinndotter features guest appearance of the Norwegian choir Koret Artemis”.
The video for Himinndotter is filmed in Rondane National Park in Norway and once again directed by Wardruna´s longtime collaborator Tuukka Koski, and produced by Breakfast Helsinki and Ragnarok Film.
Wardruna will simultaneously release “Live at the Acropolis” on DVD/Blu-Ray. Featuring a September 2023 performance from the UNESCO World Heritage Site, the film includes the full show with additional interviews and behind-the-scenes footage. Birna and “Live at the Acropolis” pre-orders are available now.
