Swedish for <#8220;the pagans<#8221; or <#8220;the heathens,<#8221; Hedningarna puts a new, self-proclaimedly rebellious twist on Nordic folk music. They combine traditional instrumentation and lyrics - with occasional help from Finnish singers - and modern technology to bring one of the most enjoyable and listenable acts to world folk music today.

They gained a wider audience when Finnish metal band Finntroll covered their song <#8220;Varg Timmen<#8221;.

Current Hedningarna members are Hållbus Totte Mattson (lute, hurdy-gurdy, mandora, mora-oud, etc), Anders Norrudde (violin, hardingfela, moraharp, basmoraharp, stringed harp, swedish bagpipe, willowflute, cow- and goathorn), Magnus Stinnerbom (viola, hurdy-gurdy etc) and Christian Svensson (percussion and sampler).

Former band members include Tellu Turkka, Sanna Kurki-Suonio, Anita Lehtola-Tollin, Liisa Matveinen (vocals), Björn Tollin (percussion, programming, samples) and Ulf Ivarsson (bass).
