This is the first studio album from Hagalaz’ Runedance since bad diagnosis in 2000. Stanley Donwood has compared writing for Hagalaz’ Runedance’s new album to that on ‘Volven’ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. nine years ago, Hagalaz’ Runedance briefly lived up to their terrific name, with an insanely addictive hit single called “Seeker Divine”. This is the best album I have heard in a long time
It’s such an underrated song.
This song could easily nestle itself onto the world top playlists. Hagalaz’ Runedance has astounded me with this amazing track. I came to like Alva. Solstice Past had me crying as I was able to relate so well. The first time I listened to On Wings Of Rapture I was struck by its astounding sound. Volven couldn’t start better than with the up up-beat title track Wake Skadi. Dreaming Wild White Horses is probably the highlight of the album. I think Your World In My Eyes is the best song Hagalaz’ Runedance has ever done. In On Wings Of Rapture (Vision Of…) Hagalaz’ Runedance is at his best.
