This is the second video we've made for this tune. In Norse cosmology, svartálfar ("black elves"), also called myrkálfar, "dark elves", are beings who dwell in Svartálfaheim, "home of the black-elves").

Both the svartálfar and Svartálfaheimr are mentioned in the Prose Edda, written in the 13th century by Snorri Sturluson. Scholars have noted that the svartálfar appear to be synonymous with the dwarfs and potentially also the dökkálfar ("dark elves"). As dwarfs, the home of the svartálfar could possibly be another description for Niðavellir ("dark fields").

The album Halls of Stone was written after we discovered the amazing music of artists such as Wardruna, Eldrim, Danheim, Agðir, Forndom, SKÁLD and others... We're not trying to sound just like them or to be them but we find this music inspirational. Our own unique sound is still in there.
