Carved in Stone is the solo project of the artist Swawa, who worked in the past as a keyboardist and singer in various metal bands before she joined Taunusheim.Following successful releases in 2001, The Forgotten Belief and Hear the Voice in 2004, CARVED IN STONE is back in the fall of 2007 with the second longplayer titled Tales of Glory & Tragedy. The album was recorded again in cooperation with Schwarzdorn Production.Stylistically, singer Swawa has remained true to her mystic folk, and so Tales of Glory & Tragedy includes a new collection of unique ballads and tales embedded in the atmospheric sounds of acoustic instruments.Merciless fates, almost forgotten creatures and fallen heroes accompany the listener who follows them through another time and another world in which human knowledge seems to play no part.The appropriate layout for "Tales of Glory & Tragedy" is again by HvemSkulle, who was already responsible for the visual design of the two predecessors and also succeeds in this work again to create a perfect harmony between music and optics.

Pagan Folk from France. Runahild Håleygir started Eliwagar in December 2006 during the winter solstice. At that time she lived in Lorraine and recorded several demos and 3 official CDs. In February 2010 she went to Norway, back to her roots and heritage. The north called them stronger and stronger the more time passed. She went to an organic mountain farm in the winter and met Bjørn, who became the guitarist for her project ... This lifestyle in a mountain farm gave Eliwagar a great deal of meaning and existence. The ideology behind Eliwagar is back to nature and back to the roots of living in great harmony with Mother Earth and Father Sky. The lyrics of Eliwagar are about the love of the motherland, the family and the loved ones, and the ancient Nordic heritage that seemed almost forgotten. Contrary to those who call themselves Asatru (the belief in the Asen gods) is called Runahild Vanafolk (the people of the Vanir), since the Vanir are the oldest gods in Norway and the north. They have a real strong connection to the northern countries for them. The Vanir gods are not only the gods of fertility and rich harvests, nature, love, family and heritage, but also death and ancestry. They are the gods of a time when people lived in harmony with the motherland and with each other and each family had their own farm and freedom and were proud of their heritage and their ancestors. The energies of the Vanir and the society they represent are the strongest source of inspiration for Eliwagar's music. Runahild describes her music: "Nordic Romatic Folk Music".
