Pagan or Ambient Folk (viking, celtic)
The music of Hagalaz' Runedance has been described as "Ambient Folk" or "Pagan Folk", yet Andrea definitely has her individual style, creating a step into her world, where past and present, dreams and reality meet. Involving a variety of musicians from alternative, medieval and folk music scenes, she has been experimenting with ancient instruments and her voice. Some songs are magical experiences, describing visions and Seidr trances (Northern shamanism). She describes Hagalaz as the rune to unlock the doors to the hidden self. Hagalaz is representing the mysterious side of femininity. Thus, to Andrea, Hagalaz' Runedance symbolises the dance in-between the worlds. In '96 Andrea, released a single with Hagalaz' Runedance called "When The Trees Were Silenced", followed by 1998's album "The Winds That Sang Of Midgard's Fate". In the following year, Andrea released a mini CD entitled "Urd - That Which Was". Spring 2000 marked the release of the album "Volven" . More powerful, more diverse and more Pagan, using traditional Nordic and Celtic instruments, combined with ritualistic drumming and synth-arrangements, Volven invokes a primal, earthly and visual mood. Volven came to collect outstanding critics in the major alternative music magazines. 2002 marked the release of the latest album Frigga's Web. This latest piece is more or less entirely arranged with various ancient instruments and received even more outstanding critics. With much improved vocals and technical experience, broader musical doors have opened to Andrea and with it she felt that the circle had closed for Hagalaz' Runedance.

Lyrics
Rauch von Holz und Harz liegt in der Luft ich atme ein den verlockenden Duft Yulezeit ist da, Yulezeit ist da Im tiefstem Winter, so einsam die Nacht die Sonne wendet und Balder erwacht Stellt das Sonnenrad auf, stellt das Sonnenrad auf Der Tannenbaum in seiner Pracht Der Yuleast lodert hell durch die Nacht Stimmungsvolle Ruh, stimmungsvolle Ruh Das Licht am Himmel die Hoffnung bringt und Tor wild seinen Hammer swingt Kraft fuers kommende Jahr, Kraft fuers kommende Jahr Frey und Freyas Sinnlichkeit Bringt Liebe, Lust und Fruchtbarkeit Leben wird weitergehn, Leben wird weitergehn Oh, Wintersonne das Fest fuer Sie Meed, Korn und das Blut unsere Gaben an Sie Auf ewige Wiederkehr, auf ewige Wiederkehr
