Experience the Viking Age in Nordfjordeid, Norway

The Myklebust ship, one of the world's largest Viking ships. Copyright: Ruben Soltvedt. May 10, 2019 12:56 CEST Experience the Viking Age in Nordfjordeid, Norway Sagastad, a brand-new knowledge center focusing on the Viking Age opens in Nordfjordeid, Norway, on the 10th May 2019. With one of the country’s richest, largest and most spectacular Viking graves in the center of the town, Nordfjordeid is the obvious location for Sagastad. At Sagastad visitors will be able to explore the 30 meter (100 ft) long Myklebust ship, one of the world’s largest Viking ships that has been found traces of in Norway. The center provides information on the mystics and the rituals of the Viking voyages and Norwegian cultural history. Skilled and experienced boatbuilders from Bjørkedalen have worked for several years on reconstructing the Myklebust ship the way they believe it could have looked like over 1000 years ago. Bjørkedalen is a place that holds long and strong boatbuilding traditions since the Viking Age. To this day they are still building Viking ships and other wooden boats from material from the local forest. The reconstructed Myklebust Ship. Copyright: Ruben Soltvedt. From a Viking Age society that left traces of a mighty ship, to a rebuilt seaworthy ship which you can explore with all your senses. The “King’s ship” is reborn and will be the crown jewel of Sagastad knowledge and activity center. The research at Sagastad is a cooperation with the University of Bergen. The Myklebust ship will be surrounded by interactive exhibitions showcasing the findings from the Viking Age in Nordfjordeid. The official opening on the 10th May will be celebrated with an exclusive solo performance by composer and multi-instrumentalist Einar Selvik, the frontman of the Old Norse band Wardruna, famous for the soundtrack of the hit TV series Vikings. Norway is only a short flight away, and the place to experience the magical northern lights and the midnight sun above the Arctic Circle; visit the world- famous fjords surrounded by spectacular mountains and glaciers; and in the midst of stunning scenery, enjoy gourmet food and culture in the cities of Oslo, Bergen and Tromsø.

Press Release
Lausanne, February 4, 2013 Press release This year, the original production of the Inferno Festival Switzerland will be the WARDRUNA – GJALLARHORN project aiming at uniting the Norwegian and Swiss cultural and musical traditions in the unique venue of the Chillon Castle. Get prepared for the amazing original and firm favourite production of the Inferno Festival Switzerland 2013, WARDRUNA – GJALLARHORN, on March 14, 2013. This project featuring Swiss Alphorns and Norwegian traditional instruments such as horns (Neverlur), percussions, flutes and vocals will be presented exclusively at the Inferno Festival Switzerland in the unique venue of the Chillon Castle (Montreux). About the project’s originators WARDRUNA is a Norwegian musical project based on ancient Nordic beliefs and rune traditions. Led by its frontman Einar Selvik and Gaahl (ex Gorgoroth, God Seed), the project is set out to make musical interpretations of various themes in the pre-christian Scandinavian traditions, using contemporary and other relevant instruments and techniques sending us back to Vikings legends and poems. Thanks to contemporary sonorities (for ex. samples) and a modern approach, WARDRUNA reaches a large audience allowing a better understanding of some of the influences that shaped Scandinavian rock. At the occasion of the Inferno 2013, the band will also play on the stage of the DOCKS on March 15, 2013. They will present their new album «Runaljod – Yggdrasil» as a world premiere and in the band’s basic formation (without Swiss Alphorns). Unite the culture and the tradition of horn of Switzerland and Norway By inviting Swiss Alphorn musicians into WARDRUNA’s Norse instrumentation, this project aims at bridging Switzerland and Norway together, two countries made of mountains, forests and glaciers where culture and exceptional natural landscapes are intimately linked together.

Cragle, June 1st, 2015 3 | P a g e Dedication I dedicate this thesis to those Heathens that showed me the virtue of hospitality, by allowing me to attend their rituals, patiently answering my questions, participating in my survey, and having the courage to share intimate stories of their lives and thoughts with me. It was an honor to get to know so many fascinating, kind, and intelligent individuals from the Heathen community around the world. I would also like to send a special thank you to my family, my friends Brian, Sean, and Jon for their consistent encouragement and support, and Dr. Kyle Wilkison, who has been a consistent teacher and mentor throughout the years. Last but not least, I would like to dedicate this thesis to my loving wife Mary, without whose support and patience this endeavor would not have been possible.

Lausanne, January 23, 2013 PRESS RELEASE FESTIVAL INFERNO 2013: The line-up at the DOCKS is now complete! Hey! After the first salvo of names announced last November, we are pleased to release the complete line-up of bands that will perform at the 3rd edition of the Inferno Festival at the DOCKS on March 15 and 16: INTERNATIONAL BANDS SAMAEL, PRIMORDIAL, MY DYING BRIDE, DARK FUNERAL ANAAL NATHRAKH, AURA NOIR, WARDRUNA KEY SWISS BANDS AND NEWCOMERS RORCAL, ZATOKREV, ALGEBRA, ABRAHAM LINE-UP BY DATE FRIDAY 15 MARCH, LES DOCKS: SAMAEL PLAYS PASSAGE (CH) SAMAEL has greatly contributed to put Switzerland on the map of metal fans and has influenced loads of groups worldwide. They started as a black metal band but increasingly gave an industrial touch to their music; they will present their special project as a world exclusive at the 2013 edition of the Inferno Festival and will perform the album "Passage" (released in 1996) in its entirety! A performance not to be missed, because it is this album that established Samael on the international scene as a reference in the modern and classy black/industrial style. A unique opportunity to eventually hear "Jupiterian Vibe" and "Shining Kingdom" live! PRIMORDIAL (IRL) PRIMORDIAL is greatly influenced by the Irish origins of their members and their sound swings between Pagan, Celtic and black metal with heroic accents. The band is well known for the quality of its performances focused on the charisma of its frontman. Primordial will blast their own definition of the word "EPIC" with loads of conquering riffs.
