Band of the week 47/2025
Origin: Verona, Italy
Genre: Viking / Nordic Folk
Hier geht’s zur deutschen Version.
The band about itself:
Ragnarök are Davide and Alessandro from Verona, two multi-instrumentalists completely devoted to Nordic culture. Their music blends ancient Nordic sounds with modern elements, taking listeners on a journey through the world of sagas and myths. Traditional instruments meet digital sounds – archaic, yet fresh.
The themes in Ragnarök’s music revolve around Nordic history, spirituality, and nature. Inspired by the Poetic Edda, their songs tell stories of courage, fate, and the connection between humans and the earth – always aiming to bridge past and present.
Editorial commentary:
Two Italians playing Nordic music – it might sound unusual at first. But the moment Ragnarök steps on stage, any doubt disappears. Davide and Alessandro manage to make the atmosphere of the North so tangible that you can almost feel mist, fire, and cold wind at the same time. There’s no performance gimmick here, just honest passion – and you feel it.
Live, they don’t need a big stage or fancy lights. Two people, a few instruments – that’s all it takes. The moment the first drums and flutes sound, the room is filled with energy. Horns, deep rhythms, voices that go under your skin – suddenly you’re right in the middle of it. The audience hangs on every note. Musicians and casual listeners alike can’t stay still.
Davide’s voice is an experience in itself. It has depth, character, and a raw warmth that sticks immediately. Sometimes strong, sometimes soft, sometimes so fragile you catch your breath. It carries the stories Ragnarök tell with an intensity that’s rare. Add Alessandro’s sense of rhythm and timing, and you get a dynamic sound you feel before you even fully understand it.
The fact that they’re from Italy quickly fades from your mind. Their sound is so authentically Nordic it could have come straight from the fjords. And yet, they add their own touch – a certain warmth, an open heart that comes through in every note.
Ragnarök aren’t just a band you watch – they’re something you experience. And when the last note fades, all that’s left is exactly what good music should leave you with: goosebumps, a sense of calm, and the urge to start over again.
