Birna, the sixth studio album by Wardruna, emerges from the depths of the forest. Through its ongoing dialogue with nature, lead composer Einar Selvik sought the voice of the bear, our lost sister of the forest. The result is this album, released by Sony Music and By Norse. Birna — the she-bear in Old Norse — is a work of art dedicated to the guardian of the forest, the keeper of nature and its struggles on earth. Slowly driven from her habitat by modern societies, she has entered a state of permanent hibernation. As a result, the forest is gradually dying and longs for her pulse and her heart — its shepherd. Birna calls for her return.
