"Great energy and fierce vitality. A seriously electrifying
link between folk music and the chaos of contemporary rhythmical
music has been missing for some time in Denmark. Valravn lights
up that old void ..." Politiken, Denmark
"These are not youngsters who mock dead old instruments, nor
nerds on a doomed mission. This is done so whole-heartedly that
the ancient heritage feels alive and kicking. Past and present become
a beautiful, wild and vivid unity, and you cannot but surrender
to Valravn." * * * * * (out of 6) Dimmalaetting, Faroe Islands
"They played the stars from the sky"- as we say in Dutch.
It basically means they were beyond awesome." Heathen Harvest,
Holland
"Wonderful performance of VALRAVN. A really pleasant mix of
tradition and electronic. And finally the square could dance."
Giornale del Popolo, Switzerland
"They put nerve on the traditional instuments with an extraordinary
punk energy. They do it leaving a lot of space of expression to
the great voice of Anna Katrin Egilstrød: an explosive scene
presence." Corriere del Ticino, Switzerland
"Valravn have an healthy international future in front of
them"
* * * * * (5 out of 6) Anders Thomsen, Jyllands Posten, Denmark
"Valravn have since their debut been going from triumph to
triumph and they have been clearly growing with their task. The
result is this new album, which is simply outstanding."

"Easily the finest electro-folk hybrid that I've heard in
recent years."
Penguin Eggs, Canada
"No doubt, with this new album Valravn went a level higher"
* * * * (4 out of 5) Jean-Pierre Lhoir, musicfrombelgium.net
"They put nerve on the traditional instruments with an "The
live show is mighty impressive; Egilstrød is a magnificent
vocalist, caressing, whispering and howling the songs with magnetic
command and energy, and the band has just the right balance of live
instruments and intensifying electronics, often including strong
visuals."
