Info from the band's web site:
The Vikings spread out by way of perilous sea voyages from Scandinavia across the Faeroes, Iceland and Greenland to Vineland (New Foundland).
The Vikings sagas give us only few clues as to how they entertained themselves, and we have to come closer to modern times before their music is first written down. But at least we have the remains of their instruments: the lyre, flute, lure, rebec, shawm, and jew harp.
K R A U K As music, which is partly played on authentic reconstructions of these instruments, has its roots in the ancient Norse songs and sagas. It is our idea of how that music might have sounded as the Vikings feasted around the huge communal fire, which was the social centre of every long house.

Please note!
Most CDs have been
imported from Europe or Asia.
They are not all
shrink-wrapped, and I am not
going to con you by wrapping them
here just to make you think they
have been sterilized in America.
We guarantee that the CDs and the
contents are all brand new and in
perfect condition. Whenever I
can, I use recycled shipping
materials. They may not look as
pretty on the outside, but they save
money and keep the trash dumps a
little bit emptier.
