Epic Viking Music to Hold the Line | 18 Chants of Grief & Defiance

Epic Viking music for holding the line when grief and defiance meet: 18 ritual chants carried by frame drum, bowed tagelharpa and low male voices in unison. Fifty-one minutes of nordic chants sung low and together, with ritual drums keeping a slow, steady pace and a birch flute rising through the mourning. The mood is resolute rather than loud. This is ritual folk for a cold walk, a long night of work, or sitting with a loss you refuse to let go of. It draws on the sound of the ancient Norse world without pretending to be a reconstruction.
