	Hedningarna, 1989-2003
		In the particular case of Hedningarna, each of their albums has a distinctive character to it, and a listener unfamiliar with the band would get a good sense of what each album is like if two or three songs from it were strung together.
		If anything, people unfamiliar with Hedningarna who pick up this CD and are entranced by the sound should be strongly encouraged to purchase their other albums, because there is plenty more where that came from.
		Hedningarna are one of the essential bands of the last fifteen years, and while 1989-2003 could have better, it does reflect enough of the band's many strengths to warrant a close inspection from any musically adventurous listener.

	Hedningarna: Hedningarna 1989-2003 - PopMatters Music Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		I've since heard that many of Hedningarna's songs are written as stories told by wilderness creatures -- animals, wolves and horses, and the humans who live far apart from civilized society in a place where birds stare down from the skies.
		Hedningarna 1989-2003 is not for listening to during a car commute (unless you're pedal to the metal and want to leave Helsinki behind).
		But Hedningarna is better listened to on a cold evening when the stars are frozen in the sky -- when you're huddled with a group of friends all wearing bearskin mittens around a log fire, and the honeyed mead is served in elk horns.

	World Music Central - CD Review: Hedningarna 1989-2003
		Hedningarna (a Swedish word for heathen) eventually married traditional acoustic Swedish music with techno-beats and this rave consciousness comes through on the 1997 release, Hippjokk which includes the original trio along with guest vocalist Wimme.
		Hedningarna, a forerunner of groups such as the Swedish band, Garmarna and Sami yoikster Wimme could be credited for the folk-roots-techno craze that is currently being exported out of most of the Scandinavian countries.
		Hedningarna unwittingly cultivated the soil and planted seeds that have emerged as a new musical consciousness that revives traditional music and presents it to a younger audience.

		While Hedningarna mine territory that other Swedish bands such as Garmarna do, the sound on this record is their own, full and wild and a studio creation that never sounds overproduced.
		Hedningarna is Swedish for "The Heathens," standing for the group's radical reinterpretation of Scandinavian folk music.
		Hedningarna managed through their application of modern techniques to the most tradional of Scandanavian folk instruments to produce something that sounded and sounds quite otherworldly.

		Hedningarna's mix of traditional and modern instruments showed the limitlessness of folk traditions.
		Hedningarna fans might be disappointed at the absence of jaw-clenching moments, but the album is a well-done work of heart.
		Then get into tracks from Hedningarna, Niekku (with Arto Järvälä and Maria Kalaniemi) and the primitive Primo (is there a band Arto doesn't play in in Finland?).

		HEDNINGARNA are another example for that, because they have less in common with Metal.
		HEDNINGARNA stand for Folk, complete with all the strange appearing instruments, but also modern hints (samples,...) found their way into the recent records.
		Even my person as a greenhorn in terms of Folk music was inspired of this compositions, they are a welcome change within all the electric guitars and 240 bpm drum salvos and they could also serve some change and entertainment for not so Die Hard Metal freaks.

	Drone rock (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		Despite their orientation towards historic sound ideals, Hedningarna used electrically amplified instruments from the start, which resulted in a musical sound and language which was close to that of rock music.
		In this new mixed music, the rock-influenced style (illustrated by Hedningarna, for example) takes the form of a pop/rock-influenced sound, a prominent heavy “beat” accompaniment and a recording technique where the microphones are placed extremely close to the artists.
		Hedningarna thus belongs to the same category as a multitude of “world music groups” throughout the world.

		Hedningarna found Turkka (formerly known as Virkkala) through the Sibelius Academy.

		In addition to her work with Hedningarna, Turkka has been active in the Finnish folk music scene.

		In 1999, Hedningarna added Magnus Stinnerbom on octave violin to their line up.

	HIGH BIAS -- Garmarna, Hedningarna
		To neophytes it sounds like an unsettling cross between Celtic and Middle Eastern sounds, as fiddles weave in and around bagpipes and hurdy-gurdys to create a droning effect, while the percussion keeps a steady but unsettling pulse.
		They would go on to be more vocal and rhythm-oriented albums, but here they show signs of turning into a world-class Nordic folk band.
		Hedningarna (the Heathens), meanwhile, is quite simply the most innovative band in Sweden.

		Finnish singers Sanna Kurki-Suonio (b 21 April '66, Helsinki) and Tellu Virkala (then still Tellu Paulasto, b 26 Dec. '69) joined the lineup in time for Hedningarna's London debut at the Tender is the North Festival at the Barbican '92.

		Hedningarna are a Swedish-Finnish folk or "world" band devoted to the traditional sounds of their homelands.
		So instead of roaring bass or blazing guitars, Anders Stake plays the Swedish bagpipes, Bjorn Tollin plays a saw, Hllbus Totte Mattsson plays lute, hurdy-gurdy and mora-oud, Sanna Kurki-Suonio sings and plays bass drum, and Tellu Paulasto sings and plays a bass moraharpa.
		A pleasant break from all the church-burning Nordic metal I've been (nicely) swamped with of late.

		In 1990 he and two fellow musicians, Björn Tollin and Hålibus Totte Mattsson, founded Hedningarna, an ensemble whose blend of modern pop sounds and traditional Swedish material has hit it big at home and with the world music crowd.
		Anders Norudde has toured the world with Hedningarna, a group that fuses Swedish folk music with modern sounds, and in his homeland he plays in a myriad of contexts ranging from theater ensembles to traditionally oriented bands, but this is his first solo album.
		It puts the spotlight squarely on his facility on various blown and scraped instruments.

	Recording review: Hedningarna (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		One of the ground-breaking groups of the Scandinavian folk-revival movement, Hedningarna noisily channeled the spirit of ancient music through modern electronics.
		Whether they sung of maidens, drunkards or mythical beasts, the group conjured up a slightly spooky, gothic place that seemed far removed from our gleaming modern world of technology.

		The story of the exiled Finns who remained in Karelia, their historic hardships and recent impoverishment (with the collapse of the Russian economy) give Karelia Visa an intense emotional energy that can be heard and felt in the music, and seen in the many color photographs which are part of the CD's deluxe 24-page book.
		While the music focuses on the songs and vocal tradition, Hedningarna infuse it a contemporary approach and production.
		They may not look as pretty on the outside, but they save money and keep the trash dumps a little bit emptier.

		I had heard of Garmarna and Hedningarna before buying this disc, but my knowledge of them was scant at best.
		The thing that will surprise most about this style of music is how immediate it all sounds, both foriegn and familiar at the same time.
		Swedish and Sami, Finnish and Norweigan, the groups featured on "Nordic Roots" display verve and virtousity, inviting the listener to delve deeper into this fascinating genre--obviously the reason for such an inexpensive sampler.
