With more than 1 billion streams and features in the History Channel TV show Vikings, Danheim has become a cornerstone for Nordic folk, Viking and World music alongside Heilung and Wardruna. On his upcoming ninth album and first since signing with Season of Mist, producer Reidar Schaefer Olsen is continuing to evolve the Nordic sound by journeying home.
Today, Danheim is releasing “Yggdrasil II” as the third and final advanced single from Heimferd. Built around slow cycling percussion, meditative chanting and immersive drones, the song extends the tree that’s held sacred in Norse cosmology into the realms of memory, land and lineage. It closes the album on a note of quit transcendence that echoes across time.

“Yggdrasil II” revisits one of the centerpieces from Danheim’s third album Fridr. The song captures the essence of Danheim’s sound: grounded in ancestral rhythm yet illuminated by spacious ambience. Yet Heimferd resists a linear narrative. “For me, Heimferd is a journey home”, Olsen says, “not to a physical place, but to my ancestry, honoring the weight of old paths while also forging new ones”.
