Toskri An excellent ode to the All Father's many faces! The Wild Hunt is incredibly expressive, and does an excellent job illustrating the chaos that is the wild Hunt! Favorite track: Meditation II - Wild Hunt.

Odhinn (also known as Wodan) is one of the oldest gods of the Indo-Germanic pantheon.
He was likely worshipped during the bronze age, or maybe even before those times.
He is a god with many faces, who often walks among the mortals dressed as a simple wanderer.
He is always seeking wisdom and even gave one of his eyes for more knowledge about the true nature of all things.
His ravens fly across the worlds and tell him secrets and rumours, which they hear on their travels.
There are stories which tell us how he sacrificed himself to receive the runes from the dead. This is how he brought writing into our world.

But Odhinn also has a dark side.
Some folk-tales in Germany tell that he lives as an evil spirit beneath mountains and send out storms from there.
There are also stories of him riding trough the wintery night sky with a group of ghostly hunters. Whoever meets this Wild Hunt will be taken away with them and will never be seen again by human eyes.
Furthermore Odhinn is known as a god of war. He decides witch party will win a battle and chooses the bravest among the fallen for his own army. These heroes will fight at his side in the final battle that will mark the end of our world.
Odhinn unites many aspects. He is a wanderer, a sorcerer, a teacher, a judge, a shaman and a warrior. He can be as good as he can be cruel…

This album aims to discover some of his diverse faces. It should not be mistaken as a political or religious statement by any means.
The Norse Mythology is part of humanity’s collective cultural heritage. The old stories may be enjoyed by everyone who likes to listen to them.

If nostalgia for an age where creatures of myth walked together with the children of men had a soundtrack, this album would be it. Also, a touching reminder that we can forego wealth and power for wilderness and freedom, if we so choose. emanuele127
