Danheim sign to Season of Mist
Reidar Schæfer Olsen’s Nordic folk project, Danheim, have joined the family at Season of Mist.
At Slow Dragon Music, we do enjoy a bit of dark folk, and Danheim have been in solid rotation at our firepit gatherings for a good few years. It’s great to see, therefore, that they have inked a deal with one of the most influential record labels in our spheres, Season of Mist. Hopefully this allows the project to take a step up, and get out to a much wider audience. If you’re unfamiliar with Danheim, fans of Heilung, Wardruna, Nytt Land, Vevaki, et al should find something to take them away on adventures of the mind.
Reidar shares his heartfelt excitement:
“I’m truly grateful for the opportunity to work with Season of Mist. This partnership allows me to protect my creative work while giving me the freedom to focus entirely on making music that speaks to the spirit of my Viking heritage. Soon, you’ll be able to experience my music in new ways—through CDs, Vinyl, and exclusive merchandise. I’m also excited to start working on new single releases and a new album under their banner.“
Danheim already stands as a colossus in the realm of Nordic folk with a staggering one billion streams and over 585,000 dedicated YouTube subscribers. Known for tracks that transport listeners back to the Viking era, Danheim’s music has also featured prominently in the hit TV series Vikings. This collaboration promises new horizons, with upcoming singles and a brand-new album on the horizon, tethered to the soul of ancient Scandinavian lore.
