Sowulo – ‘Mann’/’Sol’ (By Norse Music)
Sowulo are a Dutch dark folk band that makes modern day Viking music. Their ritual music is designed to take you on an inner journey. It’s all built upon the rune ‘Sowulo’, which represents the sun.

These compositions express his interpretation of the four archetypes which he connects to the four seasons within and without, and so they follow the cyclical nature of ‘Mann’ (we would also like to point out that ‘Mann’ is derived from the ancient Germanic word which translates as humans and is not gender specific).
