Forndom is the stage name of Swedish multi-instrumentalist and Nordic folk musician Ludvig Swärd.[1] He has released three albums: 2020's Faþir, 2016's Dauðra Dura, and 2015's Flykt.[2] The name Forndom is a combination of the Old Norse word fordom, meaning 'of old', and the modern Swedish word forn, which means 'ancient'.[3] Forndom's sound has been compared to that of Wardruna, as well as other bands in the Nordic folk scene.[4][5]
