Wardruna is a Norwegian folk music project founded in 2003 by Einar "Kvitrafn" Selvik. The name of the group derives from the Old Norse word "wardrún", meaning "rune of war". Wardruna's sound is based on traditional Scandinavian instruments, such as the runestone, bagpipes and tambourine, combined with electronic elements. Their songs are often inspired by Norse mythology and pre-Christian culture of Northern Europe. Besides Selvik, over the years they have collaborated with various musicians, including Kristian Espedal (Gaahl) and Lindy Fay Hella. Wardruna has released five studio albums: *Runaljotr* (2009), *Yggdrasil* (2013), *Skald* (2016), *Kvitravn* (2018) and *Ragnarok* (2021). Their work has been used in several film productions, including the television series Vikings. Some of their most representative songs include "Runaljotr", "Helvegen" and "Bolverk".
