WARDRUNA
RUNALJOD TRILOGY – VINYL BOX SET
BY NORSE MUSIC
£167.90
FIFTEEN YEARS IN the making, Wardruna’s Runaljod trilogy isn’t so much a concept as a lived experience – a work of singular dedication that’s transformed both the musical landscape and the consciousness of countless fans for whom the band have become a calling. The three albums – Gap Var Ginnunga, Yggdrasil and Ragnarok – each musically bound to their respective themes of seed-sowing, nurture and rebirth – may have been collected before as a CD set, but this vinyl edition is undoubtedly the lodestone. Limited to a mere 1,000 copies, it comes in a lidded, leather-finish box imprinted with hot foil, featuring each album in double gatefold with a tactile matt finish, new UV-varnished inner sleeves and the vinyl itself in a range of new colours. You’ll also find a 72-page lyric book, in English and the original Norse, featuring exclusive photos, as well as a Wardruna logo slipmat, to help you further contemplate the cycle of life. wardrunashop.com
