As Wardruna prepares for their October 3 performance at the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre, main composer and songwriter Einar Selvik and the evening's special guest, Chelsea Wolfe, discuss the special outing, their shared admiration for each other's music and how they approach songwriting in a newly released interview that you can check out above.
"I'm a sucker for melody, for visual music," Selvik explained in the interview conducted by Frank Godla. "The first time I experienced Chelsea's music was live, at Hellfest. I could hear elements of things that I do in my music, or how I like to paint the picture. It has this Nordic feel to it actually. I like artists who aren't afraid to follow the path they are on."
"Even though our music is very different, and comes from different worlds, there is some crossover," Wolfe said of her relationship to Wardruna'. "Both of us bring a sense of theater and spirituality to our live show. I love the idea of bringing history into the modern world in a totally fresh way like Wardruna does."
Tickets for the Red Rock Amphitheatre performance, which serves as Wardruna's sole North American performance ahead of a planned 2025 album release, are on-sale now.
