So cool to see a review in English about this, I didn’t even know she had a new album. Thanks man!

I think I stayed 2 cabins down from ya, or else someone has the same bird. Either way, nice discussion, Emperor was the highlight with Amon Amarth being a close second. however, all was top-notch.

Hey man, Jan from Bærzerk here! As a smaller band we do really appreciate the fact we get so much support, and the chance we got to play at Midgardsblot at all. It was mind blowing when we got the news, we wanted to play there and we ended up doing that not even a year after first mentioning it (to me)! Felt absolutely unbelievable to play there. And I very dearly hope you liked our set if you saw us! This was only our 5th ever gig, so we still have quite a bit to go in terms of stage presence and such haha, but I try. Anyways great video, peace to you brother!

YEESSSSSS

I grew up playing the fiddle in Potter County, PA. When i was a child, i remember my grandmother taking me to Ole Bull State Park. We climbed the hill to the ruins of his castle and I played my 1/2 size fiddle on the foundation of the castle as a tribute to Ole Bull and and my Norwegian influenced Pennsylvania fiddling roots and heritage.

Thank you ❤ And I can understand that an Interview is not that easy

Rúnahild has asked me to pin a special note, making sure that I include Riita and Varg in the list of names of people who are instrumental in making the blót ceremony what it is. Anyone who has ever been interviewed knows it's too easy to accidentally leave names out when listing from the top of your head. Thank you to everyone who plays their part in that special opening for the festival!

andreas is not nattramn it's leere, nattramn is mikael nilsson

54 minutes and half a bottle of wine later, I am loving what this is doing to my brain, especially with my brand of neuro spice. Classical music and soundtracks are a pretty big guilty pleasure of mine. Thank you for the recommendation. I have a couple favorites though. I love the weight that Region Smidur seems to put on your chest and how it just sits there and reverberates within it. But also, with Marie Louise. It is impossible not to listen to that one like a good story a friend is telling you after a long, tiring day.

www.youtube.com/@SpittingCobra00 Review my song bro

Just found this channel... Wondering if you cover Icelandic Artist (Icelandic Music might not be Scandinavian but it is Nordic)... on this channel such as Bjork - Fossora (2022) & beyond... Saw you cover Metal as well (Enslaved, etc) which is very cool... Lots to dig into on your Channel... Have u heard ... Ivar Bjornson & Einar Selvik - Hugsja (2018)... Masterpiece

As with any album review, I feel like I barely scratched the surface of all there is to love on this record, and will definitely continue to find more worth talking about with every listen. But at least for first impressions, what stands out to you about Keel Road? To me, I can't overstate how much the added vocal effects like the humming in Once a Shoemaker or the whistling in As I Walked Out make the album cozy and homely. Stood out at their concert here in Boulder too as a really unique thing for a string quartet to do \m/

Thank you so much for those words, my friend <3 I cant wait to see you again!

Vulture Industries has been one of my favourite bands for years, and a friend is the singer in Texas Cornflakes Massacre. It's great to see you speak so fondly of them both. This is the first I've seen of your videoes, but now I want to watch your backlog, as this was great stuff. I've been to every Midgardsblot, except for 2023 (family tragedy, the only thing that could keep me away), and it's easily my favourite festival. Can't wait for next year!

Hi. So nice to meat you and thanx for the loving words about Friggs Døtre.❤ Greetings from Birgitta (obviously playing in Friggs 😅)

Man, Amon Amarth are the nicest dudes too. I feel sorry for anyone who can't just enjoy them.

😻😻🌞🌞❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥💚💚💚

Heya. Cris from Eldrim here. Thank you so much for your kind words. From our perspective our gig at this years Midgardsblot was somewhat of a small nightmare due to technical issues, haha, but looking out at the amazing crowd still made it an amazing experience. Much love.

For me, Emperor ware an epic highlight, Amon Amarath were fantastic, but the winner was Dwaal - utterly crushing in the Gilderhall..

Definitely, Benny is a ROCK STAR!!!! - Hellyeah! - I agree with you. Thank you for the video. It is great and kisses for your precious Bird.

Finally had the time to watch the video. Great video again!

I love that i was able to attend this year. Even though i traveled alone i made so many friends while i was there!

This was my first year and i will come back. I came by myself, but never felt alone, people was awesome! I came strictly for Songleikr, but discovered so much new( to me) music. I also enjoyed the sagas told by the storytellers.

Jenny Wande here :) It was soo nice to meet you! I agree with you on Friggs döttre! They are sooo talented. <3 Great video as always. Hope to see u next year.

Really great video! Really nice to look back at a great festival! Hope next year I get to talk more to you!

As for Nytt Land, I saw them at the solskin Festival this year what a special set, it was very small, which was on purpose, and they did a fire ceremony later on, there such nice people, after there set they just walked around talking to people

Enjoy your video, and I want to listen to some of the bands further but can't understand their names. Could you put them up with the video of the band on screen thanks

A few things I want to follow up on since the video was already long enough! 1. I love seeing all of the musicians support each other. I turned around during Lindy Fay's set to find so many of the other "house" musicians dancing to her music. That kind of thing happens all week long and it's so beautiful to see. 2. I want to make sure credit is given to some of the metal bands that really slayed - Inculter was straight up 1980s white sneaker thrash that was insane. Unleashed was one of (if not the) first "viking" death metal bands and they absolutely killed it, and Ereb Altor was the bathory-worship we all love. 3. I was really bummed that Gåte cancelled - you guys know I was probably most excited to see them out of anyone. That being said, Lumsk still filled in that folk rock niche VERY well. 4. It was amazing to see the potato stand got promoted to working up at the festival rather than in a tent by the campground. They deserve it and it made me so happy to see them brought back to the festival that way. All of the food is amazing but we all love that loaded baked potato ;) 5. And apparently there was a Norwegian/Americana band. I'm actually really bummed that Salig Syndere flew right past my radar, because that would have been RIGHT up my alley.

Really enjoyed this interview! I love listening to musicians like Espen and learning that musicians are musicians through and through. I’m just a lonely guitar picker, but relate to so much of what you guys discussed in this interview.

Thank you for sharing these so I can enjoy Midgardsblot for longer.

Thank you for sharing, I love FBN, and some day I hope to make it to Borre❤❤❤❤

The best festival 🤗🤘

Very nice baro

thank you❣

"Can we please just tape a sub" - I feel this... so badly! This is the reason I tend to only sing in the car. 😅

Another fantastic interview my friend!

Thank you for this. I play tagelharpa because of hearing Espen. His music is inspirational.

Awesome interview both of u! Sååå bra Esperino!!

Great informative down to earth interview 👍🏻 really looking forward to hearing the new album I wish you all the best for its release 🎶✨️

Great and funny interview, really good

Espen is a great metal vocalist and bass player, beside his many other talents.

Oh hey, its THIS troublemaker. ;)

I love this band, can't wait for the new album, skal!

I can’t wait to attend this year!!

My vote is for Sweden next and then Denmark afterwards. Iceland and Hardanger will need to engage in a holmgang to decide who goes next. An artist that I've come across is Harald Foss who makes songs about the Viking Age, would he qualify as authentic folk music?

Thanks for this review! Bassplayer gets one b-part of melody = bassplayer happy😂❤ (Ps. We are already working on our next album ;) )

Thank you for bringing up my album! 🎉😄

I think you should do 5 albums from Sweden then Hardanger.

Great video and great recommendations.

Yes! Absolutely continue this series. I vote Hardanger.
