Seidhjallar is dedicated to the sacred synthesis of darkness and light. It draws its inspiration from spiritual journeys into the other-worldly and earthly realms following the rhythm of drums and songs to travel oneself through.
It is initiated by the synergic union of femininity and masculinity as symbol of the 2 polarities within the universe that makes it whole and creator of all that is in the eternal cycle of life, death and rebirth. It is the reconnection to the source of the soul when these 2 essences melt as one and thus connect to all that is beyond time and space.
Seidhjallar relates to the norse word “Seiðhjallr” which is a high seat where the norse magic called seid was performed.
My new album has been conceived within intimate rituals in a retired cabin on the heights of the Norwegian mountains, therefore was given this name.
