O que rolou com a banda Skáld? Parece que foi feio o negócio, trocaram todos os integrantes principais, na época estavam até excluindo os comentários.

Junior, a verdade (e falo aqui sem qualquer menosprezo pelos talentosos membros originais), é que a mente por trás do Skáld é o seu produtor e compositor, Christophe Voisin-Boisvinet.

Cada um dos membros originais resolveu seguir o seu caminho, a Justine tem uns projetos musicais e um estúdio de tatuagem; o Pierrick tem projetos musicais de música irlandesa; e o Mattjö fundou o Hrafngrímr. De lá pra cá, a formação ainda sofreu outras mudanças, tendo hoje um time muito bom também:

Christophe Voisin-Boisvinet: compositor
Steeve Petit: tambores, vocal
Marti Ilmar Uibo: tambores, vocal
Ravn: nyckelharpa, lira, talharpa, moraharpa, gudok, lira viola, harpa, harpa dupla
Julien Loko: vocal, bouzouki irlandês, talharpa
Lily Jung: vocal
Kohann: vocal
Laetitia Marcangeli: vocal, hurdy-gurdy
uRYa: vocal, didgeridoo, morin khuur
