When asked about his new track Ek Rið Nordic Tribal musician Torulf says “
“Being part of a concept album - and thus part of a larger story - Ek Ríð is a chapter in the album Ristningar i Ginnungagap. It is the second song in the album and the main inspiration for the song is therefore the same as the album which is journeying to the realm of Ginnungagap of ancient Scandinavian lore. Ek Ríð is at the beginning of that journey - riding towards something not yet experienced, in this case Ginnungagap. The excitement, the thrill, and anxiety all gather as the rider is moving towards his goal. With this song, I want to convey themes of courage, adventure, and heading forward in a mission to reach somewhere you haven’t been before.”
From the very first notes of Torulf’s song Ek Ríð from the album Ristningar i Ginnungagap, there is a sense of anticipation, mirroring the excitement and thrill of embarking on a journey into the unknown. The pounding rhythms and primal chants capture the essence of a rider setting forth on a quest, his heart beating with a mix of exhilaration and trepidation. Amidst the pulsating energy of the music there is a subtle undercurrent of anxiety that is just a reminder of the uncertainties that are faced when journeying through unfamiliar terrain towards an unknown place. Balancing beautifully between excitement and apprehension the mesmerizing and enchanting melodies have a primal resonance to anyone that has been allured by distant shores and the call of the wild.
