When Description Source
Wardruna's music is explicitly rooted in an animistic worldview in which nature is sacred and humans are part of, rather than rulers over, the natural world. Einar Selvik has repeatedly described this as one of the project's central messages. Source
Selvik has explicitly criticized the political appropriation of Norse culture by right-wing extremists, arguing that Nordic heritage should not be reduced to a nationalist or racialist ideology. He has also described Wardruna as having no political agenda and has spoken against simplistic racial interpretations of Norse history. Source
Gaahl, who was involved with Wardruna during its early years, has a controversial history in black metal. See Gorgoroth.
