Hot on the heels of their prior release, Kvitravn, Wardruna return a year later with Kvitravn – First Flight Of The White Raven to be released April 22 via Norse Music/Sony Music/Columbia Germany on multiple formats. This new release captures their special set list consisting of songs from Kvitravn and a selection of favorites from the discography, and will be released on a 2LP, as well as 2CD that also features the original studio album track listing.
In addition, Kvitravn – First Flight Of The White Raven will be available as a limited boxset edition including 2LP (black), 2CD, DVD with livestream performance and bonus documentary material, three videos only available in the boxed set, a flag of the CD album cover, and a certificate of authenticity for the box with an exclusive autographed card signed by Einar Selvik.
Einar Selvik states:
‘Kvitravn – First Flight of the White Raven’ is an audio-visual, live-in-studio recording that was broadcasted online as the release show of the ‘Kvitravn’ album. It was recorded in a time when it was not allowed to perform in front of an audience, which made it very important for me that the recording itself truly captured the energy of a live performance. What you hear is what we performed in that moment in that room. No re-recordings or autotune was done in the afterwork.
“Just like for a regular concert, the set list was carefully put together with a selection of songs from all our albums, including a handful of songs from the new album, which we performed for the very first time. On the day of recording, we all stood together in the same room for the first time in over a year. Everyone came focused and well-prepared, and the energy felt like no time had passed. I hope you will agree!”
“Kvitravn” translates as “white raven,” which, as Einar would tell you, is also his artist name. Catch Wardruna on tour in the U.S. supporting Kvitravn beginning October 10 in Atlanta, GA, and ending November 10 in Dallas, TX.
