Asken Yggdrasil by Music by Lars ”Lachen” Jonsson and Mats Jonsson
The music on this record is from another era, consisting of remains excavated from tape archives. The music was created under the influence of records such as Bo Hansson-Lord of the rings; Instrumental, melodic music with a touch of old folk-traditions and a Nordic atmosphere. Old Norse mythology became the theme for a musical suite, where the predictions of the Voluspa gave the motifs to form an instrumental tale.
