![]() ![]() Gaahl’s charismatic dark gravels merge perfectly with your ethereal, almost elvish, voice. In Wardruna, you have two icons of Norwegian black metal by your side. Video-artist Polkapixel has made a couple of videos for us and is also with us in the future. We are not rushing for a release, we are taking our sweet time. I and Arne Sandvoll, one of the live-members in Wardruna, have cooperated for many years, in a band called Ullan Gensa. I’ve been singing ever since, on concerts and various recordings by myself and for other musicians and have produced an album for electro-punk trio Sound of Sotra. I suddenly thought, yes, I will sing! For a moment all shyness disappeared, it was an indescribable feeling of freedom. Anyway, when we were performing in front of an audience, I heard someone say: Is she going to sing? It was the phrase that got everything to work out for me. The second choir-leader suggested rightly that I should not be a soloist, but Roy said I would. I was horrified at the rehearsal and did not forward a sound. My cousin, who was one of the leaders of a local choir, convinced me when I was 14 to join and signed me up as a soloist, without me knowing about it. ![]() ![]() I spent a lot of time in my room, played synth and singing, and thought that no one could hear me. My dream was to play synth, I was extremely shy as a child, so singing in public was unthinkable for me. From that moment on, how did you become a singer, and have you any other musical projects besides WARDRUNA? You said that it formed the basis of your musical aesthetics. I think Wardruna had sounded different if made somewhere else.Ĭoming of age, you were listening to Depeche Mode, “Black Celebration,” one of the most influential albums of the ’80s, a record full of passion, doom, and gloom. It is interesting to listen to music from other parts of the world, precisely because it often shows a part of a different culture and environment. When I sing with Wardruna, I dream often about the forest and the ocean where I grew up. We’ve all grown up with nature close, so it’s natural to have been inspired by it. Rain, wind and cold, but also peace and quiet. It’s easy to hear the essence of the west Norwegian nature in Einar`s music. Do you think that all those fantastic landscapes are an inspiration for WARDRUNA, and your music wouldn’t sound the same anywhere else? First of all, Lindy, thanks for taking the time to answer our questions I know you grew up by the sea, in Bergen’s outskirts, so the natural wonders were always present while you were growing up. ![]()
