- Isn't it Twilight of the gods I hear you asking??
Short note from Birger Niehaus (Rune and old Norse Expert): “Twilight of the Gods” would be “Ragnarøkkr”. This is probably a wrong reinterpretation of the original “Ragnarǫk” (which means “fate” or “final destiny of the Gods”). Both forms are attested in Old Icelandic sources, but “Ragnarǫk” is most probably the correct term. If you want to go with the “Twilight of the Gods” translation, you would have to choose “Ragnarøkkr” (ᚱᛅᚴᚾᛅᚱᚢᚴᚴᛦ) as the base form.
The Nine Realms is an album of fantasy orchestral compositions inspired by ancient Norse mythology and folklore. The album mixes modern orchestral writing with ancient instruments and vocal techniques inspired by Old Nordic culture. A team of musicians and singers worked diligently to produce - and perform - the Old Norse language featured throughout the album. Great care was taken to represent these elements as authentically as possible. The music is as expansive and expressive as the worlds and stories it represents.
