Valkyrjasǫngr (excerpt)

Rafnborg is a Norwegian music project founded in Bergen, Norway by Enok Alfsson Groven. Rafnborg creates spiritual music inspired by the Vikings and their rich culture and mythology.

"Thinking of having lost all the Viking music we once had makes me want to create new music we can listen to, and dream ourselves away to the old world that once was - the world of our ancestors.
I want my music to give others what it gives me - a sense of belonging, and a sense of finding oneself - finding ones roots.
I am the collector of a lost culture, the guardian of ruins, and the speaker of a dead language."

 - Enok Alfsson Groven, Bergen, 2015.

Our first album will be called "Vegen til Valhall" and will be released in 2018. The music is improvised and has no lyrics. It tells the story of a quest for vengeance, where two brothers leave Norway for England to revenge their father. In the ensuing battle one of the two earl's sons dies. A Valkyrie comes to follow him to the other side, and his brother returns home to celebrate his slain brother.

We will release small excerpts from the upcoming album, so stay tuned!
