Five Crazy Dwarfs

Anyone who read this story on the cover of Valhala's first album listened with curiosity to discover what it was supposed to mean... Twelve instrumental compositions are based on the foundations of “old rock”, with touches of jazz and classical elements. Each of them forms a homogeneous whole with interesting and sometimes surprising solo passages.

Valhala's first album represents the final work of the “five crazy dwarfs”: Jodl Gazvoda – leader and guitarist, Uroš Rakovec, guitar, Domen Rakovec, keyboards, Sergej Jereb, bass, and Ivo Golmajer, drums. These are dwarfs who try to fight against the darkness through their music. In their own way, they have clothed the messages of ancient myths in their music, which they carry as a positive message to everyone who listens to them and to everyone who is sufficiently open within to understand that mythological truths are eternal, experienced and confirmed again and again, and therefore eternal in what they represent. Just like music. Valhala's music is full of this positive message and bright energy and demands attentive listening. (Pan Records, Studio 26, RTV Ljubljana, 1995
