Jonathan Selzer of Metal Hammer magazine described Wardruna's music as "a conjunction of the earthy, the organic and the ethereal" with "runic-based rites inhabiting a frequency that once heard have always seemed just adjacent to everyday consciousness". The album was delayed to Janudue to the COVID-19 pandemic. The album is named Kvitravn, which means "white raven". In February 2020, the band announced the release of their fifth studio album in June 2020. In October 2019, Wardruna announced they are now signed to the major labels Sony Music/ Columbia Records and they will be going on a European concert tour from March to August 2020.

The band's fourth album, the acoustic Skald, was released on 23 November 2018. In early 2018, they embarked on their first tour of North America. In August 2017, Wardruna headlined the 20th alternative music, folk music, and experimental music festival Mėnuo Juodaragis in Dūburys Lake, Lithuania. Thanks in part to the success of Vikings, the album debuted at No. Wardruna's third album, Runaljod – Ragnarok, was released on 21 October 2016.

In 2015, Gaahl left Wardruna on amicable terms. He later appeared as an actor on the show. In 2014, Selvik announced on the group's official Facebook page that they would take part in composing the score for season 2 of Vikings along with Trevor Morris. The group's debut album, Runaljod – Gap Var Ginnunga, was released on 19 January 2009 by Indie Recordings, followed by Runaljod - Yggdrasil on 15 March 2013. Gaahl also recorded with Trelldom, Gaahlskagg, and God Seed. Selvik had also recorded with other projects including Det Hedenske Folk, Bak de Syv Fjell, Jotunspor, Sahg, Dead to this World, Skuggsjá, and Faun. Selvik and Gaahl were both previously members of Gorgoroth, appearing together on the album Twilight of the Idols and the live DVD Black Mass Krakow 2004.
