Hugrheim by Eihwar
Born from ritual, trance, and joyful defiance, EIHWAR stand apart in the modern pagan scene. The duo fuse Nordic folk, electro-industrial pulse, and raw percussive power into something fiercely alive.
With ‘Hugrheim’, EIHWAR take listeners deep into the tenth, hidden world of Yggdrasil. This second album expands their mythic universe with thunderous war drums, chanting in trance languages, and an irreverent energy that rejects solemn reenactment in favor of visceral experience. Each track functions as a gateway, moving between battle rites, ancestral memory, and altered states of consciousness. The record balances ritual intensity with sharp rhythmic drive, shaped for both solitary immersion and explosive live settings.
Anchored in Norse inspiration yet free from dogma, ‘Hugrheim’ feels both ancient and strikingly present. It is a concept album, a soundtrack for transformation, and a celebration of spirit made sound.
