Founded in 1996 by Kristian Nordeide and Ronny Hovland (e.g. Ares of Aeternus) This band draws inspiration from medieval sources as well as modern European folk music. The song structures are based on a modern approach and no attempts are made at making an ``authentic`` sound. Corona Borealis play dark mood music and blend in dance music from pagan sources. For most of the material accoustic instruments are used, but the band also experiment with other soundscapes - using loops and low pitched synthetic drones etc. to accentuate their musical vocabulary. - EM:TMA

The band changed their name to Dovinia in 2007.

>> TemporaNigra said "Pagan Inside ;)" << Yeah except most of those are actually European Christian medieval melodies. Anyway, wonderful album. I listen to a LOT of medieval music and a lot of my preferred versions are still on that disc.

Hi Kristian! Music from your record isn't actually available to listen to on this site. People who own the album play it via media player or itunes and this site scrobbles or charts it using a plug-in. Hope this answers your query. Wonderful album by the way!

Hey all, This is Kristian Nordeide from Dovinia (former Corona Borealis). Pretty interesting to see that my old record is still being played. How did it get on here without my consent ? Just wondering.
