Yggdrasil is a renowned folk music band deeply rooted in the Scandinavian cultural heritage, particularly inspired by the rich Norse mythology and the breathtaking landscapes of northern Europe. The band derives its name from the mythical Yggdrasil, the immense and holy ash tree that is central to Norse cosmology, symbolizing the interconnectedness of all things. Established in the late 20th century, Yggdrasil's hallmark has been the creation of atmospheric and evocative music that often blends traditional acoustic instruments with more modern sensibilities, embodying the essence of the Nordic spirit.

Over the years, Yggdrasil has built a compelling discography that continues to explore and celebrate Northern traditions through music. Recently, the band has revisited and revitalized their earlier works, evident with the remastered version of "Kvällningsvindar Över Nordrönt Land," which breathes new life into a beloved album that has resonated with fans of the genre. Alongside this release, other recent works like the self-titled "Yggdrasil," the haunting "Irrbloss," and the profound "Vedergällning," showcase the band's commitment to evolving their sound while maintaining the integrity of their roots. With each release, Yggdrasil cements their standing as custodians of a sound that transcends time, blending the ancient and the contemporary into a timeless musical experience.
