Forndom, the musical and conceptual embodiment of Swedish artist Ludwig Swärd, is a distinctive voice within the realm of dark folk and ambient music. The project, which began its journey around 2015, captures the spirit of the nordic past, interweaving ancestral lore, Norse mythology, and a deep sense of the mysticism that pervades the natural landscapes of the North. With each release, Forndom invites listeners into a meditative, ethereal experience that is as much about introspection as it is about exploring the cultural heritage of Scandinavia.

Building a reputation for invoking the sombre beauty of forgotten times, Forndom's discography is a blend of haunting vocals, acoustic instrumentation, and evocative soundscapes. Starting with the debut album "Dauðra Dura" in 2016, Forndom has consistently delivered contemplative music that pays homage to the ancient, with albums like "Flykt" (2016) and "Faþir" (2020). With tracks like "Inlandsvinter" and "Alster (Piano version)", Forndom showcases an ability to marry the dark tones of the past with a modern, minimalist touch. His music serves as a conduit between the old world and the contemporary listener, seeking to reignite the reverence for nature and the elemental forces that once shaped the lives of our ancestors.
