Nattramn (Old Swedish for Night Raven) entrances listeners with medieval instrumentation and galdaric chants based on elder futhark runes. Hauntingly hypnotic original melodies evoke primal emotions, as steady rhythms of big drums uplift an array of surreal voices, ranging from the soothing to the animalistic, holding listeners in a trance that transcends time, summoning the spirit of the ancient past.
Yet, there is another reason to celebrate this remarkable art. Nattramn's discography serves as an aid for learning about the runes. Chants engender familiarity with elder futhark characters, as well as ancient rune poems, and connects runic characters to powerful emotional experiences. The unique artistic expression brings the runes to life in a way rarely demonstrated in modern arts. - Knowledge of the Old Ways
