Pagan or Ambient Folk (viking, celtic)
The music of Hagalaz' Runedance has been described as "Ambient Folk" or "Pagan Folk", yet Andrea definitely has her individual style, creating a step into her world, where past and present, dreams and reality meet. Involving a variety of musicians from alternative, medieval and folk music scenes, she has been experimenting with ancient instruments and her voice. Some songs are magical experiences, describing visions and Seidr trances (Northern shamanism). She describes Hagalaz as the rune to unlock the doors to the hidden self. Hagalaz is representing the mysterious side of femininity. Thus, to Andrea, Hagalaz' Runedance symbolises the dance in-between the worlds. In '96 Andrea, released a single with Hagalaz' Runedance called "When The Trees Were Silenced", followed by 1998's album "The Winds That Sang Of Midgard's Fate". In the following year, Andrea released a mini CD entitled "Urd - That Which Was". Spring 2000 marked the release of the album "Volven" . More powerful, more diverse and more Pagan, using traditional Nordic and Celtic instruments, combined with ritualistic drumming and synth-arrangements, Volven invokes a primal, earthly and visual mood. Volven came to collect outstanding critics in the major alternative music magazines. 2002 marked the release of the latest album Frigga's Web. This latest piece is more or less entirely arranged with various ancient instruments and received even more outstanding critics. With much improved vocals and technical experience, broader musical doors have opened to Andrea and with it she felt that the circle had closed for Hagalaz' Runedance.

Lyrics
Facing the storm by the shore In sacred colours her foremothers wore Calling to the sea the Vardlokkur In ancient tongue that none can understand but her ... Volva's call Volva bring their messages to me The seed that you will pass on to me I hear the voices from within Old wise one I am bare, I am prepared, I'm ready to step inside The circle's closing we hear the chants Magic rhythms seducing us to dance Eyes are closing, what will they see? Lost in the search of ancient dreams and ages yet to come The heat is rising, seething wild Bodies trembling as the earth underneath And when I'm falling into the depths of life Drowning hearts in ecstasy, screaming for the dawn ... When our souls were young
