Career In 2015, Wallumrød formed the trio Spirit in the Dark together with Audun Erlien and Anders Engen. The band has released two albums: "Now is the Time" (2015) consists of stripped-down covers of gospel music while "Superbells" (2020) has cover versions of Christmas carols, psalms, and pop songs.

Wallumrød contributed to the band "Cloudberry Cream" together with Nikolai Hængsle (bass) and Knut Reiersrud (guitar). Axel Røthe (drums) and his father Knut Røthe (guitar and vocals) were the main forces of this band project.
In the summer of 2013 Wallumrød and Kjetil Møster were guest artists at Bushman's Revenge's concert at Kongsberg Jazz Festival.
