Viking rune song in 11/8 with female vocals, skaldic cadence, and rune-coded percussion. Nordic folk textures—frame drums, wood clicks, and low drones—drive this cinematic anthem: “Strokes in Stone.”

This track carves law and memory into rhythm. Verses are half-spoken in alliterative skald style; the chorus breaks open and sings:

“Mark it in thunder; cut it in stone—
What we have spoken will not be overthrown.”

🎧 Best with headphones for the asymmetric groove (3-3-3-2).
Instruments: frame drums, hand percussion, wood clicks, nyckelharpa/harpa drones.
🎙️ Vocal: female lead; chant + belt.
🎼 Time: 11/8 | Key: A minor | Style: Nordic folk / skaldic chant.
