In honor of tonight’s full blood worm moon and lunar eclipse, emerging dark folk project HRAFNAGALDR is debuting its first ever single, “Hailiþ?.” The project is the brainchild of multi-instrumentalist Hrímhjarta (UADA, Altars of the Moon, etc.) and features a guest appearance by celloist Kakophonix (Osi & the Jupiter, Opus Est Sanare) and is devoted to the thursian current of Myrkþursablót.. Listen to the haunting and ambient new song HERE.
Deep within the winters of 2020, when the world came to an eerie silence, Hrafnagaldr, a dark folk/ambient project created by Hrímhjarta (Nate Verschoor /// Uada, Altars of The Moon), was born. Initially created as a one-off dark ambient project, Hrafnagaldr’s first offering was a complete ambient score to the book Myrkþursablót: Nightside of the Old Norse Mythology, which Hrímhjarta authored and published through the now at rest, Fall of Man Publishing. Various singles were written, mostly uploaded to the void of the internet through Bandcamp, mostly just as a way of spiritual expression with no sight of “success,” so no truly serious intent was ever meant.
Fast forward to 2025, and that intent has drastically changed. After many otherworldly and explainable experiences through spiritual practice and the holy presence of divine power, Hrafnagaldr now has a purpose and that purpose is to heal. Our world, our people, our collective consciousness, is in dire need of healing, and with a new sense of purpose and giving heed to divine call, the music of Hrafnagaldr will be its vessel.
The first offering, “Hailiþ?,” an old Proto-Germanic word meaning “wholeness, health” is the debut single to mark into stone the rebirth of Hrafnagaldr. The debut, full-length album, “Weban?” is currently in the works and will be released in due time…
.: May healing, wisdom and abundance flow through you :.
