You may need additional software / hardware to take full advantage of the higher 24-bit high-res audio formats, but any music lover that has heard 16-bit vs 24-bit will tell you it's worth it! Software for Mac OS X ProStudioMasters offers the original studio masters - exactly as the artist, producers and sound engineers mastered them - for download, directly to you. When you listen to music on a CD or tracks purchased via consumer services such as iTunes, you are hearing a low-resolution version of what was actually recorded and mastered in the studio. High-resolution audio offers the highest-fidelity available, far surpassing the sound quality of traditional CDs. Although Wardruna’s music shares characteristics with folk, world and ambient, none of these genres can really describe its unique style. These elements are carefully woven into a rich landscape and complemented with whispering voices, melodic song and mighty choirs. Nontraditional instruments and other sources of sound like trees, rocks, water and torches are also incorporated. Some of the recordings were made outdoors in places or under circumstances of significance to each rune and performed on historical instruments such as primitive deer hide frame drums, Kraviklyra, tagelharpe, mouth harp, goat horn, lur and more. The three albums contain a musical rendition of the 24 runes in what is often referred to as the elder futhark. Noisey Runaljod – Ragnarok is the third installment in a trilogy begun in 2009 by Norwegian folk group Wardruna, led by former Gorgoroth drummer Einar Selvik. despite the broad subject matter, the music feels personal. Wunjo 10."Wardruna is sowing new seeds and strengthening old roots. Skarvebarna Children’s Choir sing on "Wunjo". Einarsdatter Nybro sing on "Odal" and "Wunjo". Eilif Gundersen: Bronze lure, birchbark lure, goat horn, willow flute and ice percussion. "RUNALJOD – RAGNAROK" LINE-UP: Einar Selvik: Vocals, taglharpe, Kraviklyra, goat horn, tongue horn, bronze lure, flutes, drums, percussion and electronics. "Runaljod – Ragnarok" was written, recorded and produced by Einar Selvik from 2003 to 2016 at his own Fimbulljóð studio. Special guest performances by Einar’s own children and Skarvebarna children's choir must also be noted. Most notable on "Runaljod – Ragnarok" is the use of the Scandinavian bronze lures, whose iconic sound and appearance make them a perfect fit with Wardruna’s instrumentation and concept. And new elements have certainly been added along the way.

Musically and conceptually there is a clear continuity between all three of the albums, but with time and experience comes refinement. All performed with sincerity and conviction. The vocals range from whispering voices to melodic song and mighty choirs. It is a contemporary sound, but one that is characterized by the use of old and historical instruments like Kraviklyra, taglharpe, goat horns, birch-bark lures and more. Some of the material on the album even date back to 2003 and the early stages of the project, when multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Einar Selvik started to develop the genre-defying sound and style that Wardruna have become known for. It proved to be a lengthy and challenging task. In short, the ambitious idea behind the trilogy was to create musical interpretations of each of the twenty-four old Nordic runes. It is the third installment in a trilogy of albums that began with "Runaljod – gap var Ginnunga" (2009) and continued with "Runaljod – Yggdrasil" (2013). Wardruna reissues new Gatefold 2LP of their album "Runaljod – Ragnarok".
