"After almost a year of secret collaboration, Anilah and Einar Kvitrafn Selvik (Wardruna, Gorgoroth, Vikings) have finally released a new collaboration entitled "Warrior". The 11 minute epic is a fusion of influences from both artists, ranging from the haunting and shamanic vocal invocations of Anilah, to the ancient tribal call of Einar's signature sound. The end result is a stirring composition, leaving the listener in another world all together. 

"Working on Anilah´s beautiful song "Warrior" has been an absolute pleasure for me. Due to my creative work with Wardruna being so time-consuming, it is very seldom that I can accept invitations to collaborate on other people’s projects. But when I was presented with the song Warrior I immediately liked it. I instantly heard and pictured myself being part of it, and so accepted the gracious invitation. I am very happy with the outcome.” 
- Einar Kvitrafn Selvik

The song is about the lost spirit of a viking woman and a Volva trying to guide her back to the other side.

Attergangar (Revenant)

Sjå mot den andre ende (Look towards the other end)
Sjå dit deg Enden sende (Look towards the place to where The End sent you)
Djupt i den jord der dei haugla deg (Deep in the soil where they put you in your mound)
Sjå mot det ljos der dei ynskjer deg (Look towards the light where you are wanted)
Kvil i haug (Rest in mound)
Gløym dine kvite bein og....... (Forget your white bones and....)
Gløym det som var din heim (Forget the place that was your home)
Ei skal du vandra i eigen fordum (You shall not wander in you own past)
Søk dit ditt eige blod er nær (Seek to where your own blood is close)
Kvil i haug (Rest in mound

 Last verse is put together from the first two lines in the second verse and the two last lines of the first.

Attergangar

Skadi (which translates to "loss" or "death") was an important part of viking culture. Enemies, friends and family had to face death at a certain point in their life, some too early and some too late, so the rumors. Take part in a festive ceremony to honor the death of one of your clansmen and prepare for an unforgettable feast.

Wardruna's Solringen, I LOVE THIS SONG! I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! 
I vocalized only the first part a while ago.. but I was inspired. All rights ofcourse go to Wardruna, if you like them buy everything they have! :D

Parts of the song are mixed with the original song because I'm simply horrible with percussion and I think it sounds pretty cool. :3

I played the drones and the dreamy spacey sounds are also done by me working happily and crazy on the Tyros 4 (on which I play rarely), all the vocals are done by me and all in all this was just an amazing piece to work on..

I will probably try to make it even more awesome because there's still a lot I want to work on but so far I'm fucking happy okay.

Sola gjekk i ringen, sumaren sende
Hanar galar rismål for alvar i enga

Avl i bringa - Avl i jordi

Hanar galande, galdrar groande
Nornar spinnande, lagnadar bindande
Gudar gråtande, ulvar ulande
ravnar ropande, risar sovande
Skuggar truande, aksen duvande
åkre veksande, soli skinande
ulvar jagande soli flykande

Solringen

Let yourself be in the 800s, when the Viking warriors left the NORROIS’s land on their famous Drakkars, looking for the treasure of the West in the land of the Celts.
