Skald

"Skáld is above all a vocal project, carried by three singers who are specialists in the song techniques of the skálds, singing that has come down to us by means of the rare surviving accounts of the period. The group's repertoire takes its inspiration particularly from La Völuspá and Gylfaginning, both of which are contained in the poetic Edda. These texts, which Christophe Voisin-Boisvinet brought together especially for this project, before adapting them and setting them to music, deal with Scandinavian cosmogony as well as mythological episodes featuring the gods of Ásgard."-Rockandloadmag.com
