DANHEIM Streams Full New Album Heimferd

More information about Heimferd


Reidar Schæfer Olsen, the creative force behind DANHEIM, returns with Heimferd: an immersive exploration of instinct, heritage, and sound. Known for his ability to weave the mythic and the human into resonant form, Olsen once again summons the essence of Nordic folk and Viking-age ambience.

Heimferd is guided not by mythological narrative but by intuition. Across thirteen tracks, the album moves through contrasting terrains: from the storm-born energy of Stormdans and the expansive calm of Yggdrasil II, to the meditative weight of Heimferd itself. Olsen’s compositions merge percussive strength and sparse atmospheres, creating a dynamic landscape that feels both ancient and immediate: a return to something familiar yet unreachable.

Heimferd is out October 31st via Season of Mist.

DANHEIM Announces Munarvágr & Mannavegr Reissues

Posted on January 7, 2025

Reidar Olsen, the man behind DANHEIM has been producing music all the way back in his teenage years. Focusing on mostly electronic music, it wasn’t until 2016 that he fused this love for music production with his Danish roots. Loosely meaning ‘Danish home’, DANHEIM is the perfect marriage of old Norse mythology with ambient electronic music, à la Brian Eno. With his signing to Season of Mist, DANHEIM now reminiscences to the two albums that started it all: Munarvágr & Mannavegr. Munarvágr, the first of the two albums, is a 12-track showcase of thundering drums, subtle percussive instrumentation layered with deep chants. It’s an album that immediately sets the tone for what DANHEIM‘s music is all about – honoring old Nordic tradition in a majestic and fierce way. If you’re ever in the mood for a good workout while feeling like a viking about to conquer new lands, this is the the kind of album you’d put on.
