Roadburn Festival 2011: David V. D’Andrea’s Wardruna Poster
Posted on Tuesday, April 5th, 2011
We’re proud to unveil David V. D’Andrea‘s latest installment of his Roadburn series: the Wardruna poster.
David comments: “It has been a pleasure to work closely with Kvitrafn on the Wardruna piece. He initially sent me a sketch, the basis being three women / nature spirits with specific Samstav Runes flowing from them. The symbol in the middle of the composition is Wardruna’s personal rune and the snake is an adaptation of a serpent spiral. It’s very inspiring to work with a band so deeply rooted in nature and tradition.”
Wardruna, the dark ambient folk project led by former Gorgoroth drummer Kvitrafn, has been confirmed for a special one-off performance at Roadburn Festival 2011, set for Thursday, April 14 at the Midi Theatre in Tilburg, Holland.
Kvitrafn and fellow musicians Gaahl and Lindy Fay Hella explore the history of Norwegian mythology and paganism using traditional instruments such as goat and cow horns and bowed lyres. More unorthodox “instruments” such as trees, stones and fire are also incorporated into Wadruna‘s unique sound, which is further augmented by powerful vocal performances from several vocalists.
Nearly six years in the making, Wardruna received rave reviews for their mesmerizing 2009 debut Gap Var Ginnunga, the first in the planned Runaljod trilogy that interprets the runes of the elder futhark. Gap Var Ginnunga will be released on vinyl on Burningworld Records prior to Wadruna‘s Roadburn performance.
Kvitrafn comments: “I am very pleased and honoured that we are invited to contribute to Roadburn 2011. The festival with its very credible artistic focus and approach is something that I feel is very right for Wardruna to be a part of.”
Although Wardruna has garnered a respectable and surprisingly diverse following, the group rarely performs live. Needless to say we are extremely excited that the band has been added to our line-up. Wardruna will definitely add a new dimension to the kaleidoscope of styles and sounds associated with Roadburn.
