Gjallarhorn (group)
Gjallarhorn is a band that performs world music with roots in the folk music of Finland. The quartet was born in 1994; its website has not been updated since 2007...

 and was released in 2006.

The Allmusic review by Chris Nickson awards the album 3 stars and states "Throughout, the traditional material is superb, drawing sometimes on the tradition of the Swedes in Finland, but casting its net all across the Nordic countries. Their sound is unique, a curious mix of instruments that work well together, and there's an obvious reverence for the music they're playing."
