DRUSUNA – BEYOND THE GREEN REALM
‘Beyond the Green Realm’ is the highly anticipated second album from Pagan Folk band, Drusuna
(Portugal). Embark on a journey to uncover ancestral roots long forgotten, woven into the secret
language of the forest. A tale of a distant past that still breathes, waiting to be heard by those who
care to listen closely within the serene embrace of the green realm. Here, among the solitude of
towering trees, the air hums with the enchantment of mystery and magic, beckoning us deeper into
the woodland's hidden depths.
Drusuna creates Ritual Pagan Folk music as described in this self-penned quotation: “The connection
to the mother earth is what we pursue through our music. Shamanism is presented in our concept as
a link to the ancestral roots to which we belong. The modern world has reached a level where people
have almost lost their connection with nature. Humans are using and have abused the planet to the
point of no return! Despite their intelligence and technology, most of them are not able to raise their
consciousness to a level high enough to hear the planet’s grief, because they are full of arrogance
and greed. It is urgent to find once again the missing link and connect with nature once
more…Drusuna intend to spread this message through their music. Ritual Pagan Folk music!”
With such a poetic introduction, it is without doubt that Drusuna offer a special listening
experience. Drusuna is a Pagan Folk Band from Gallaecia (Northern Portugal). The roots of the
Drusuna project began in 2009 with Sephirus and brother Alvahagal. The initial idea was to create
primitive sounds with only organic ethnic musical instruments made from wood, stones, and other
natural elements. The main idea was to build something directly from the roots of the earth,
because the call of nature was the driving force behind each project. After two years of productive
rehearsals came the concept of their debut album, ‘Kaytos Kom’ (2016). Drusuna left the forest and
hit the stage in 2016 at Oestrymnis folk festival, Ponte da Barcacelt folk festival and other stages
throughout Portugal. In summer 2017, Drusuna signed with Friendly Folk Records and March/2018
found the release of ‘Kaytos Kom’ in a digital and physical format. Their singles, ‘Spirits of Ancient
Trees’ (July/2020), ‘Solitary Woods’ (March/2021) and ‘The Eldon Grove’ (Sept/2022) pave the way
for their brand-new album ‘Beyond The Green Realm’!
