This song is based on the Norwegian Runic Poem, which, as in the Icelandic Runic Poem, names all the runes of the young futhark accompanied by a stanza alluding to the name of each of the runes. There is also a third Runic Poem: the Anglo-Saxon. Runic poems are believed to have served as a mnemonic tool for remembering the names of the runes and their order in the alphabet. It is an important compilation of popular culture of the time, comparable to old English sayings, Gnomonic poetry, and Old Norse poetry. The Norwegian runic poem, written in Old Norse, has been preserved in a 17th century copy of a destroyed 13th century manuscript. This poem appears in skaldic meter. And it has the following structure: The first line of each stanza is a phrase of the following type: "name of the rune + copula + X", where X is an attribute to the name of the rune, followed by a second rhymed line that provides some information somehow related to the previous sentence. In this poem and in Icelandic, all the runes of the young futhark appear in the same order. The names of the 16 runes and their order is as follows: Fé, Úr, Þurs, Óss, Ræið, Kaun, Hagall, Nauðr, Ís, Ár, Sól, Týr, Bjarkan, Maðr, Lögr, Ýr ᚠ - Wealth causes dispute between relatives. The wolf inhabits the forest. ᚢ - All dross comes from bad iron. Reindeer often run on frozen snow. ᚦ - A troll causes disease in women. Few men find joy in misfortune. ᚬ - The end of the river is the path for most trips. And a scabbard is the fate of swords. ᚱ - It is said that riding is the worst for the horse. Reginn forged the best sword. ᚴ - The ulcer is a curse for children. Death makes a man pale. ᚼ - Hail is the coldest grain. Kristr created the world of yesteryear. ᚾ - Anguish leaves little choice. A naked man is chilled by frost. ᛁ - Ice we call a wide bridge. A blind man needs guidance. ᛅ - Abundance is a blessing to men. I say that Fróde was generous. ᛋ - The sun is the light of the world. I bow down to all that is sacred. ᛏ - Tyr is a one-handed god. Often a blacksmith must forge. ᛒ - A birch has the greenest leaves. Loki forged times of deception. ᛘ - Man is the product of dust. Strong is the claw of a hawk. ᛚ - A waterfall is a river that falls from the mountain. All treasures are gold. ᛦ - Yew is the greenest of winter trees. It tends to crunch when burned. Male voice lyrics are names and words from German, Danish, Norwegian and Finnish (still unconfirmed). Uunia runus sigurd. Fähig ani regina gunda.
@doggone Except the costumes are historically correct for Nordic bronze age, and what do you mean "if they even had music" are you serious? So, the cow horns, lyres, drums and pipes didn't clue you in to the fact that they had music? The fact that we have folk music that has been passed down since the Viking age didn't clue you in? In fact, we DO have music written down. The Wooden tablet from Denmark was a song recorded in the 14th century after being passed down, just like the many poems and sagas. You seem strangely mad for no good reason. You should probably keep your uninformed opinions to yourself and just let people enjoy great music.
@doggone There's plenty of examples of music passed down from Ancient Scandinavian culture. I mean, they LITERALLY INVENTED like 12 different instruments that are still used today. A quick goggle search might have saved you the trouble of this comment, tbh.
It is sometimes forgotten that once, northern people were also tribal and pagan. Something about the drumming is almost universally human. Like a heartbeat. Sometimes it still resonates
Pretty much all peoples at least started off as tribal. It’s one of the most basic human forms of government and life style, but a very affective one. Small communities using resources from the land around them and fallowing the resources, needing to be in touch with nature to survive. I personally find it really beautiful and just a part of human nature to take care of our communities and the land that provides for us.
Remember, that we all are brothers All people, beasts, trees and stone and wind We all descend from the one great being That was always there Before people lived and named it Before the first seed sprouted
This is Norse music, I'm glad you did a review, and glad to see people giving the music a chance. Some may find it weird, but once you listen to alot more you just feel it. The meanings behind the lyrics are powerful and calming.
@@grelm1322 This song in particular I believe is based on a Norwegian poem so it would be specifically Norse. Germanic is just a less specific grouping of the same thing.
I'm a long-time lover of Heilung, but even I can understand how they may be a bit jarring at first. Personally, they activate my leftover Upper Paleolithic DNA and give me a strange sense of calm, yet I also suddenly feel like making a spear from things I find in the woods.
Stones are called "les menhirs de Monteneuf" and are located near the Broceliande forest in the North of France (Brittany region). This is the place where originally took place the Arthurian legend & the knights of the round table. In that forest you can also find the golden tree of Paimpont, still sacred since the celtic age for the pagans in Western Europe.
This is a performance about a shamanic ritual. Heilung makes music about the Bronze Age to Viking age. They call themselves Amplified History. Their lyrics are based on original texts. Have a look at their epic first ever live performance: LIFA live at Castlefest concert. Start with: In Maidjan Then: Krigsgaldir Alfadhirhaiti Othan Hamrer hippyer
Heilung makes all cultures come together. Many cultures, feel that same energy and connectedness through their songs. Roots connect to roots, and see, and hear the connection and likenesses, celebrate likenesses not differences.
If you get the chance to see them live, even just their production value and their sound quality is worth it. Besides all the existential implications and the spiritual nature of their music, their rituals are top-notch performances. 😍😍😍

magic mushrooms, native to uk, have a hallucinatory effect, when you get past the nausea, that is :) do not confuse them with flyagaric toadstools (the red ones with white spots aka Alice in wonderland) UK has a long relationship with odin (we call Woden ) its where we get wednesday from
psilocybin is native to norway as well, and basically almost any country with the same type of fauna. The UK has a long relationship with norse culture cause we couldnt leave the anglo saxons alone for more than like 2 seconds before deciding that your gold is our gold now
The Anglo Saxons are themselves Germanic (Angles came from Denmark, Saxons from northern Germany) and arrived in Britain still firmly pagan, hence the use of the west Germanic names for the gods (Odin = Wotan in German and Woden in English) but after roughly 150 years adopted Christianity from the remants of the Roman population that they had conquered. So basically when the Vikings showed up the English aristocracy had become full Christian and many of their subjects but most anglo saxons still knew a lot about their pagan religion and many of the lower classes and more remote living smaller lords probably still practiced it or at least many parts of it. Even as late as the 8th century (within which the first viking invasions occurred during the last couple of years) some English kings still linked their lineage to Woden (Odin) as their forefather
@@hmvollbanane1259 They surely kept a lot of their origin culture into Christianity. Just look at the Christmas Log, the symbolic of the Mistletoe, the date on which we celebrate Christmas and many other traditions that we celebrate as part of "christianity" today but actually came from Nordic Heritage. All of these have today a different meaning, but they all came from Nordic and/or Celtic culture.
If you watch the whole show, it's very ritualistic. Everything from the real bones to the antlers. Being French, German, and Swedish. It grabs you in the feels
Some rituals seems to have universal appeal. Tribal groups all over the earth used local animal skins, drumming, fire circles, the natural resources around them to survive and explain the wonder of seasons. This is humanity in its most elemental form and it’s beautiful on every part of the globe. From Northern Europe to the Indigenous peoples of America, to the many tribes across Africa, Asia, etc etc. Humanity is magick. And we all have lost our connection to what makes us the same and what binds us- Earth and her many gifts. ❤

I believe part of the problem with us hwhite folks is that we lost touch with our roots. We were once much like any other tribal society that honored the lands that offered food, water, a place to build shelter. Somewhere along the line "progress" and greed crept in like a silent serpent in the night and we are left with our legacy on this earth being death and destruction without thought or mercy. We need to go back. Let our bodies and spirits remember who and what we were.
Awesome reaction! Could you also check out the live version of In Maidjan by Heilung? It's amazing, especially since it's their first ever live performance!
I think the best phrase to describe it is eerily beautiful, haunting. There's a tense atmosphere to it, but it's balanced out by the captivating vocals and peaceful flute melody. Come to think of it, that's the best word to describe Heilung: balance. It has a Yin and Yang aspect to it, the music, and it always draws me in base on that.
So happy that you found this gem of a band, they are a band like no other and I am curious if you have listened to their new work they recently put out! Definitely worth a listen, I highly reccomend! I always find great calm and piece in their music. When I feel like so much is wrong in this world, I put in my ear bugs and turne the world out for a bit just for a few minutes of strange serenity with thier music ❤️ my mom is quite conservative so I can't imagine sharing this band with her but my dad would 100% get behind this because he loves all thing Norse that it's almost embarassing hehehe! Admittedly, I am kinda the same way but a bit more discreet about it 😅 my dad has Norwegian roots and quite proud of it even though he's born and raised Canadian 🤣🤦♀️ typical cringey dad lol!
That's what I said..this is very tribal..Charlemagne the great was even in AD..but whatever the case Modern Christianity has certainly not helped other tribal people through out the rest of the world...
@@HemlockRidge yes your right...what I was trying to say is that heilung said they were Roman coins that they would give the tribal peoples during the dark ages but like you said they look more Neolithic than dark ages..
The language might be some sort of ancient nors, but it might be a little Icelandic, German or Latin there as well. The lady is from Norway, and the two men are from Germany and Denmark
@@JayRuller_ Yea man, you should hang around on this Genre of music for a little while, uncover some amazing sounds that send you into another age/world.
I can imagine this is EXACTLY the sounds made by pre-Christian Norse shaman, priests and warriors.......love the rune stones!.....quick note: the language is a re-creation of proto-Germanic
it is completely understandable that this kind of "old" spiritistic thinking and feeling is difficult for Americans with a comparatively very young history to understand, except for the "healing" of the remaining Native Inians. No pure Viking music the music and sounds of the band are based on Archaeological Historical Historical records and rock paintings and carvings as well as traditions from Norse/Gothic/Germanic and Celtic rituals going back to the end of the last Ice Age in Europe. For people with Celtic Norse roots these have deep spiritual meaning and can open mind Putting into a trance that can lead the open mind back to the womb of the mother from which all life originates. In the Gothic/Germanic Celtic mythology, the mother is the beginning of all and is also depicted as a white hind and therefore every woman is considered holy only women egg A direct connection to the mother could only be women. The male shamans were the droids. They were considered white men and leaders and were subordinate to the high priestesses when her children.. it would be interesting what an American native would have to say about that...
Wealth cause dispute among friends; the wolf lives in the forest Slag comes from bad iron the reindeer often races over the frozen snow. Giant causes women's sorrow; few are cheerful from misfortune River mouth is way of most journeys; but the sheath is the one of swords Riding, one says, is for horses the worst; Regin forged the best sword Ulcer is fatal for children; death makes man pale Hail is the coldest of grain; Odin shaped the world in olden times Need leaves you little choice; the naked freeze in the frost
[MALE VOICE] "I carve/ prepare the Wunjo ( ᚹ ) Rune of Divine origin for the Victory
Ice we call the broad bridge; the blind man must be led Good year is a blessing for men; I say that Frodi was generous Sun is light of the land I bow before the holy Tyr is one-handed among the Æsir; often the smith must blow
[MALE VOICE] "I carve/ prepare the Wunjo ( ᚹ ) Rune of Divine origin for the Victory
Birch is the limb greenest with leaves; Loki brought success of deceit Man is increase of soil; mighty is the hawk's claw Water is what falls from the mountain; but of gold are the jewels Yew is the greenest tree in winter; it often singes when it burns
Heilung gives sound to long lost music and words. What is presented here is a sung version of the Old Norse Rune Poem, i.e. a verse meant for people to learn or remember the Nordic runes of a time even before the viking age. It is Old Norse in the Younger Futhark rune version, Old Norse being a root language of the modern Norwegian language. For people interested in this, the Old Norse language and mythology, there is right now probably no one better out there than Dr. Jackson Crawford. Here (below) is his video about the Old Norse Rune Poem, which he reads in Old Norse and gives an English translation. Heilung also has another Old High German (an even older language) / Old Norse song called Traust, which also deserves a mention. Jackson Crawford: ruclips.net/video/Glh_hT2laRo/видео.html
Haha it’s hard to say what was around in those times, base on archaeologists new findings, are more accurately continuous findings, it’s seem our previous understanding are far fetched, and history will always have its mystery.
Apparently it’s so old. That it uses Dialects from Latin English. Old Norwegian. Gothic. Gothic it’s self is a pretty dead language now. But it mostly sounds like they’re singing in Norwegian.
Ahaha - that one is a kicker of an intro to Heilung! :) I love their live stage performances, as well, especially the LIFA live performance of Krigsgaldr. The language is not Celtic. I guess it's old Norse?
Why do they go to Dublin and not Belfast? I don't know but I would be at the front of the queue for tickets for Belfast. I tried for Dublin but the only tickets left were right at the back of the stadium. If I get to see them I want to be right at the front and emerse myself in the ritual.
@Shark hello I've had so many try to tell me where the language stems from and each time its been different lol, all in all I like this one ill of to check more of there work out soon.
@@JayRuller_ I think they are trying to say that the Vikings influenced the English language 'cause they were in England for a long time and they left us (I'm British too!) many words - usually words for everyday things. They're saying we use Dane words a lot of the time which is true.
It's the type of music you just feel, I believe in Norse paganism and enjoy these chants/songs. You just feel it and long for a place you've never been.
@Bill Rand I’ve got no soul 🧐 very interesting statement if you don’t mind could you please expand on that, I think my reaction based on something I’ve never seen was justified, well in my head but am alway open for enlightenment if you don’t mind.
Hey thank for stopping by and giving your thought 💭, but question did u listen to what I said at the beginning? Clearly not, also take some time, have a little look at the comments section. No one can fully agree on the language origination, has for me looking foolish, hmm that tends to happen on blind reaction. Stay safe
@@JayRuller_ it's all good mate. You made a best guess and there's nothing wrong with it. I think you might enjoy the full album. Side note, they don't call it a "performance" rather a ritual.
Hmm 🤔 when this became about race ? More over I was very receptive, personally I was really interested in finding out their origin . Please don’t assume anything, thanks for tuning in.
Nordic people singing and playing nordic folk music. It doesent get more authentic than that. But if your talking about the video... but still I have quite a lot of friends that often eat strange mushrooms doing strange things in the woods... I think Kai, one of the bandmembers is a practicing shaman.
@@vetrarbloanottunni2185'Do actually believe that this is ancient ' authentic '' music from centuries past, when people may have dressed in similar fashion to the video. That they performed like this?
@@Insolation1 :D Ofc this is reconstructed, but with a lot of authentic elements. If they skipped the synthesizers, over-fat sound and the show element etc, I think it would be more authentic. But I know that they themselves call it aplified history. If we would want the real deal with tribal shit I think we need to go to some decolate island somewhere where people havent been in contact with anyone. Like the North sentinel island that is found in the bay of Bengal. Really crazy tribe people... ;)
@@toreheggelund612 As far as religious go the Asatru and pagan folks I've talked to seem to be very chill and really don't care so long as you leave them alone. It seems to be only the big 3 abrahamic religions that feel they must force everyone to believe by the sword.

We need to go back. Let our bodies and spirits remember who and what we were.
Who is this us you speak of?? You and the phlegm mice in your pocket?
@@williamroberts8853 Phlegm mice? What are you on about?
The stone area they are standing in. Is a Celtic Stonehenge.
Really! wow I've been there crazy to even think how they where built.
@@JayRuller_ Apparently this video was filmed somewhere in France.
Its Norsk, an old scandinavian Language, similar to islandic. What you feel is the magic of an shamanic Song. Shamans in siberian Tradition ... ;)
Awesome reaction! Could you also check out the live version of In Maidjan by Heilung? It's amazing, especially since it's their first ever live performance!
You are hooked bro, don't lie to ya self lol
Their songs are performed in different languages such as old Norse, old German, maybe old Danish.
3:50 This man just had his soul revived. 😂
That is what heilung does to its listeners!
I think the best phrase to describe it is eerily beautiful, haunting. There's a tense atmosphere to it, but it's balanced out by the captivating vocals and peaceful flute melody.
Come to think of it, that's the best word to describe Heilung: balance. It has a Yin and Yang aspect to it, the music, and it always draws me in base on that.
So happy that you found this gem of a band, they are a band like no other and I am curious if you have listened to their new work they recently put out! Definitely worth a listen, I highly reccomend! I always find great calm and piece in their music. When I feel like so much is wrong in this world, I put in my ear bugs and turne the world out for a bit just for a few minutes of strange serenity with thier music ❤️ my mom is quite conservative so I can't imagine sharing this band with her but my dad would 100% get behind this because he loves all thing Norse that it's almost embarassing hehehe! Admittedly, I am kinda the same way but a bit more discreet about it 😅 my dad has Norwegian roots and quite proud of it even though he's born and raised Canadian 🤣🤦♀️ typical cringey dad lol!
The language is Old Germanic. Definitely NOT Celtic. They are performing a pagan ritual at a place of power. Forget Medieval, this very ancient stuff.
That's what I said..this is very tribal..Charlemagne the great was even in AD..but whatever the case Modern Christianity has certainly not helped other tribal people through out the rest of the world...
@@yvonneshaub6111 Charlemagne? No, no. This is BRONZE AGE. 3300 - 1200 BC.
@@HemlockRidge yes your right...what I was trying to say is that heilung said they were Roman coins that they would give the tribal peoples during the dark ages but like you said they look more Neolithic than dark ages..
Pleased you took the time
@richard spence it was really an interesting experience trust me.
The language might be some sort of ancient nors, but it might be a little Icelandic, German or Latin there as well. The lady is from Norway, and the two men are from Germany and Denmark
If your Soul can’t hear this then an explanation would never be understood.
1000%
Highly recommend watching the entire LIFA show with a glass of wine, beer, or whisky, and low lights/candles. Trust me. 😘
What I heard is that there "lyrics" comes from old rune stones from Scandinavia (might be the rune text at the end of the video.
If you like this kind of music I would recommend to watch the Group FAUN the songs: Baldura, Halloween, Gaia...
They start the ritual by eating Psilocybin mushrooms
Awesome isn't it?
It’s really something else I’ll admit that much, but once you get into it there was a sense of healing
@@JayRuller_ Yea man, you should hang around on this Genre of music for a little while, uncover some amazing sounds that send you into another age/world.
I can imagine this is EXACTLY the sounds made by pre-Christian Norse shaman, priests and warriors.......love the rune stones!.....quick note: the language is a re-creation of proto-Germanic
that woman makes me feel a certain way, shes something special.
The whole vibe of this song plus delivery had me in a trance.
@@JayRuller_ theyre inm no hurry to take you some where, they Build & Build along the way.
it is completely understandable that this kind of "old" spiritistic thinking and feeling is difficult for Americans with a comparatively very young history to understand, except for the "healing" of the remaining Native Inians. No pure Viking music the music and sounds of the band are based on Archaeological Historical Historical records and rock paintings and carvings as well as traditions from Norse/Gothic/Germanic and Celtic rituals going back to the end of the last Ice Age in Europe. For people with Celtic Norse roots these have deep spiritual meaning and can open mind Putting into a trance that can lead the open mind back to the womb of the mother from which all life originates. In the Gothic/Germanic Celtic mythology, the mother is the beginning of all and is also depicted as a white hind and therefore every woman is considered holy only women egg A direct connection to the mother could only be women. The male shamans were the droids. They were considered white men and leaders and were subordinate to the high priestesses when her children.. it would be interesting what an American native would have to say about that...
I hate that here in the Netherlands we lost our pre roman languages.
Their music and culturalization is much more ancient than mideval times. You are talking about times from just before or after the turn of 0 a.d.
Wealth cause dispute among friends;
the wolf lives in the forest
Slag comes from bad iron
the reindeer often races over the frozen snow.
Giant causes women's sorrow;
few are cheerful from misfortune
River mouth is way of most journeys;
but the sheath is the one of swords
Riding, one says, is for horses the worst;
Regin forged the best sword
Ulcer is fatal for children;
death makes man pale
Hail is the coldest of grain;
Odin shaped the world in olden times
Need leaves you little choice;
the naked freeze in the frost
[MALE VOICE] "I carve/ prepare the Wunjo ( ᚹ ) Rune of Divine origin for the Victory
Ice we call the broad bridge;
the blind man must be led
Good year is a blessing for men;
I say that Frodi was generous
Sun is light of the land
I bow before the holy
Tyr is one-handed among the Æsir;
often the smith must blow
[MALE VOICE] "I carve/ prepare the Wunjo ( ᚹ ) Rune of Divine origin for the Victory
Birch is the limb greenest with leaves;
Loki brought success of deceit
Man is increase of soil;
mighty is the hawk's claw
Water is what falls from the mountain;
but of gold are the jewels
Yew is the greenest tree in winter;
it often singes when it burns
Brace yourselfs!
Haha 😆 from the look on my face, I was the whole time
bruh your PC fan sounds like a fighter jet lol
I know! it totally mess-up the video, but have upgraded since, please checkout my latest video from them.
Neolithic! Pre history
Heilung gives sound to long lost music and words. What is presented here is a sung version of the Old Norse Rune Poem, i.e. a verse meant for people to learn or remember the Nordic runes of a time even before the viking age. It is Old Norse in the Younger Futhark rune version, Old Norse being a root language of the modern Norwegian language. For people interested in this, the Old Norse language and mythology, there is right now probably no one better out there than Dr. Jackson Crawford. Here (below) is his video about the Old Norse Rune Poem, which he reads in Old Norse and gives an English translation. Heilung also has another Old High German (an even older language) / Old Norse song called Traust, which also deserves a mention.

Question is Tristan a name that would have been around those times or area
Haha it’s hard to say what was around in those times, base on archaeologists new findings, are more accurately continuous findings, it’s seem our previous understanding are far fetched, and history will always have its mystery.
@@JayRuller_ I have looked up my name (Tristan) they said it was of Celtic origin but I didn't know how common the name was
Norge🇳🇴❤️
Apparently it’s so old. That it uses Dialects from Latin English. Old Norwegian. Gothic. Gothic it’s self is a pretty dead language now. But it mostly sounds like they’re singing in Norwegian.
@Nezar King they are something special and different from anything I've ever heard, thanks for stopping by.
they use latin, old english, old norse, gothic, proto germanic and proto norse as well as many others lol
@3:50 is when his ancestors spoke to him
Language is Norse. The song's called Norupo (NOrse RUne POem)
Modern version of medical stuff
Ano ana literally means Mother Earth. Chris speaks 5 languages, one being Germanic Norse.
The language they sing in is Old Norse, perhaps you might even say Proto Germanic
Love it.. hasn’t got a clue WTF is going on.
Haha 😂 I swear I didn’t
Its almost 1000 years before medieval times actually. Lol
Nordic, bruh. My ancestors. At least in part.
Ahaha - that one is a kicker of an intro to Heilung! :) I love their live stage performances, as well, especially the LIFA live performance of Krigsgaldr. The language is not Celtic. I guess it's old Norse?
Proto Germanic, pre-norse to be precise.
the language is scottish Gaelic
No. Just no.
Nope
Why do they go to Dublin and not Belfast? I don't know but I would be at the front of the queue for tickets for Belfast. I tried for Dublin but the only tickets left were right at the back of the stadium. If I get to see them I want to be right at the front and emerse myself in the ritual.
The first thing you must understand is that you do not understand... everything else follows.
its before medieval...its ancient
so many different views and belief
It is far, far, far before the Middle Ages and the Viking Age.
Early paleolithic rock...and roll?
lol
lol ill go with one.
bahaha yes
👍
i'm just stuck on the microphone taking up shit
The noizy mashine you have going in the back ground is ruining it all. Its like listening to a dust sucker while talking to a person
Unfortunately that was my laptop 💻 fun trying to keep itself cool 👌.
ENERGY MY MAN..WE ARE ALL ENEGRY. THE SAME ENERGY. THIS TYPE OF MUSIC TOUCHES ANCIENT PLACES FOR ME
Heilong is meta
the video is wikid. open your mind.. you may catch an open 3rd eye and a soul generational healing
Are you serious, listening to that infernal noise mashine on top of the song... Well put sand on my chickenwings why dont you. Same thing
Not Celtic, forgotten ancient languages
Reading all these comments, no one can agree on the origin of this particular language, but overall it’s very interesting to read.
@@JayRuller_ In broad terms it's Germanic (Proto-Germanic in this case). The language has since split off into norse and germanic languages.
old viking
Pls react to Ride by Lana del rey! Its the best music video out there I promise u
Sad to say I recorded and uploaded that song but it’s currently blocked 😑
@@JayRuller_ oh no😢 do u think u can cut out sum part of it, then it’ll prob work
why was it scary at the start?
I honestly think it's nord or vikingo
Just a advice .... Try reaching to Indian stuff like songs , food etc it will help you a lot in gaining subscriber and views:)
Appreciate the advice my friend thanks 🙏🏾 for the ever lasting support!
They use like 10 different modern and ancient religions!!!!
The language is germanic
@Shark hello I've had so many try to tell me where the language stems from and each time its been different lol, all in all I like this one ill of to check more of there work out soon.
From Medieval times? how cute that you think that.
by your accent u are brit byt yet u use dane worda before u other germainic or slav swea fin we are one you are my mother and my brother
dane law
Am sorry but am finding it hard to understand what you're trying to say.
@@JayRuller_ yeah you are rigth
im a dlaw mfk
but to all my bros im you
ruclips.net/video/wLWJOVM0zr0/видео.html
@@JayRuller_ I think they are trying to say that the Vikings influenced the English language 'cause they were in England for a long time and they left us (I'm British too!) many words - usually words for everyday things. They're saying we use Dane words a lot of the time which is true.
.This is some weird sh*t! But, I like it.
Haha 😂 you saw my face I didn’t know what I was getting myself into, but I enjoyed it nonetheless
It's the type of music you just feel, I believe in Norse paganism and enjoy these chants/songs. You just feel it and long for a place you've never been.
youve got no soul man,,,and at the start they were eating shrooms to get into a trance
@Bill Rand I’ve got no soul 🧐 very interesting statement if you don’t mind could you please expand on that, I think my reaction based on something I’ve never seen was justified, well in my head but am alway open for enlightenment if you don’t mind.
Dude, do your research before doing one of these. You made yourself look super foolish. It's Nordic.
Hey thank for stopping by and giving your thought 💭, but question did u listen to what I said at the beginning? Clearly not, also take some time, have a little look at the comments section. No one can fully agree on the language origination, has for me looking foolish, hmm that tends to happen on blind reaction. Stay safe
@@JayRuller_ it's all good mate. You made a best guess and there's nothing wrong with it. I think you might enjoy the full album. Side note, they don't call it a "performance" rather a ritual.
itt: a black guy is confused by white native religion
don't worry, we didn't appreciate your people's faiths, I don't expect you to appreciate ours
Hmm 🤔 when this became about race ? More over I was very receptive, personally I was really interested in finding out their origin . Please don’t assume anything, thanks for tuning in.
Why are u so mad😂
Fuck off white supremacist. Odin is the ALLFATHER, not the SomeFather.
You should like, smoke a joint and chill tf out 😆
So ignorant...
When is not knowing something considered ignorant?
But he liked it. I was ignorant of Maori or Polynesian metal, until i found some. ❤
This is as authentic as Lord Of The Rings.
K
Nordic people singing and playing nordic folk music. It doesent get more authentic than that. But if your talking about the video... but still I have quite a lot of friends that often eat strange mushrooms doing strange things in the woods... I think Kai, one of the bandmembers is a practicing shaman.
@@vetrarbloanottunni2185'Do actually believe that this is ancient ' authentic '' music from centuries past, when people may have dressed in similar fashion to the video. That they performed like this?
@@Insolation1 :D Ofc this is reconstructed, but with a lot of authentic elements. If they skipped the synthesizers, over-fat sound and the show element etc, I think it would be more authentic. But I know that they themselves call it aplified history. If we would want the real deal with tribal shit I think we need to go to some decolate island somewhere where people havent been in contact with anyone. Like the North sentinel island that is found in the bay of Bengal. Really crazy tribe people... ;)
@@vetrarbloanottunni2185 Do you think this authentic ruclips.net/video/hnSNfxjrwck/видео.html
no one cares. this is pagan european music
My friend somethings are just not for everyone, and its very apparent this isn't for you lol stay safe.
Religions are like farts.
Yours is good, but everyone else's stinks.
For all the "White people have no culture" sayers Like you are.
@@toreheggelund612 As far as religious go the Asatru and pagan folks I've talked to seem to be very chill and really don't care so long as you leave them alone. It seems to be only the big 3 abrahamic religions that feel they must force everyone to believe by the sword.
no...YOU just don't care. And its irrelevant what you think.
The old pagan way are the way we should be living.
