- Black 12" vinyl (33 rpm) in deluxe jacket printed on unfinished, heavy card stock (first pressing 200 copies worldwide).
Danheim is the work of Copenhagen-based musician and producer Reidar Schæfer Olsen, a leading voice in Nordic folk and Viking-inspired music. With over 1 billion streams and music featured in Vikings, Danheim has become a cornerstone of the genre.
Heimferd is a journey guided by instinct and atmosphere rather than a fixed mythological storyline. The album drifts between pounding percussive force and hushed minimalism, creating a soundscape that feels ancient yet alive. Each track evokes a return to something older and deeper: a cultural current running beneath memory, a call that is both familiar and distant. From the storm-driven rhythms of “Stormdans” to the haunting expanse of “Yggdrasil II,” Danheim balances intensity with restraint, weaving a sonic ritual that resonates with timeless Nordic heritage. Entirely composed, performed, and produced by Olsen, Heimferd stands as both an immersive listening experience and a personal letter to his ancestral heritage.
