@@grimreaperhenrik yeah a lot of the KI(2013) characters had an overhaul to their stories. The original was unapologetically cheesy. Spinal wins an Oscar for his role as a skeleton in a movie(Jason and the Argonauts I think). In the new story he's after the mask to free his soul. I think the cannon ending for him is he's taken control of by Kahn Ra to help him destroy Aganos.
can you imagine how intimidating it would be to see an army chanting this song in the middle of battle and suddenly spinal and other undead skeletons rise from the ground to aid the enemy and seeing your warriors being skinned to the bone all while hearing spinals scary maniacal cackle and screams
My thoughts as the enemy: "Shit, why is their battle chanting so catchy? Someone go pray to that ghost chick" I'd probably then be smacked by a skeleton
+TheGeckoNinja One does not need chanting to start running away from dead rising. Just remember that one WW1 battle at Osowiec Fortress: Germans waited until 6 August for the right wind conditions. At 4 am, at the same times as regular artillery started firing, German forces used poison gases against the defenders. Thinking that all of the defenders were dead, Germans started advancing. Fourteen battalions of Landwehr - at least 7000 infantry men - were participating in that attack. When German infantry reached the first line of defense, they were counter-attacked by what was left of 13th company of the 226th Zemlyansk regiment (about 60 men). Surprise attack and bloody clothing (Russian soldiers were coughing blood up because of poison gases destroying the lung tissue) put Germans in the state of shock and made them run. The five remaining Russian guns opened fire at this point aiming at the running mass of Germans. European papers called it "The attack of the dead".
I don't know why but "the enemies have burned our land" gives me chills. I thought this was a proud war song, but it makes it sound more like a broken kingdom's last attempt at victory by succumbing to dark powers. SO COOL
I have dnd brainrot. This is a good origin for an undead warlock. You have sold your soul to skeleton pirate king in desperate act to your people. Your patron is a pirate warlord cursed with Undeath,and he wants you in the crew.
according to KI1 he was also previously Thunder Hawks brother who was a famous warrior in life. Although that was muddled when the comic book said that Thunder Hawks brother is Fulgore.
I figured it out. "Slår på sköldar" is "beat on shields". They are banging on their shields like a drum to intimidate the enemy. "Rasslar med svärd och Slår på sköldar" is "Rattle with swords and beat on shields". This army was making a ton of noise.

The song and lyrics make me think that Spinal may have once been some sort of Khal Drogo-esque warlord (or some European equivalent), this whole 'lifeless, soulless, baptised in blood' sounds to me as though he was BORN a warrior and leader of men, dedicated to killing and conquering. His god/demon status alluded to in the lyrics, I suspect is born out of reverence for just how mighty he was in life, and they chant and pray to him, that they may too be blessed with his strength.
Weren't the Vikings in Scotland at one point, though? Also I think it's interesting how they ask Spinal to become their Chieftain or Warchief. It would make more sense if he became Warchief considering they're going to war, but this would mean that there are multiple clans that willingly call for Spinal's help.
This is a late comment but I realize in the song, they don't sing "Flå" (or to skin) everytime. The majority of the time it sounds like they're saying "Dö" or "Död", which means to die, or dead respectively. Example: 4:08 It sounds like they're saying Dö/Död, while at 3:27 they're saying Flå
I know I'm very late to the game, but I have to join those that hear two different variants of the chant. At 2:07 it's definitely FLÅ-FLÅ-FLÅ, but at several other times I hear DÖ-DÖ-DÖ (DIE-DIE-DIE). I'm not disputing the fact that these might be the lyrics given by Mick Gordon, but maybe they changed it last minute or something, happens all the time. To a Swede there is a very clear difference between the chants at 0:46 for example and the one at 2:07, surprised that not everyone can hear it.
I'm so happy to that you translated English lyrics to the song but singing it out loud doesn't sound as powerful as the Swedish lyrics. SO ITS TIME TO LEARN A NEW LANGUAGE!!
"Skogen den pratar" is such a metal way of saying shit is going down HARD. As a swede its weird to hear Swedish in this context but then I remember this is kinda how Swedish war chanting sounds
great song and translation. although he does say "Død-Død-Død" sometimes (like at i.e 1:24), and then "Flå-Flå-Flå" (i.e at 2:06)...if you are scandinavian its impossible not to hear that. anyways, thanks for uploading the song, its massively awesome. kudos
Dark Western ok well then i suppose me and everyone that is scandinavian and that CLEARLY hears both død-død and flå-flå are completly deaf. dont listen to us...try to hear it yourself lol :D if you cannot hear the difference, then i dont know what to tell you. im laughing my ass off here...im telling you the truth but you wont hear any of it :D
+Dark Western Ah, i see. It's just me hearing it, plus i've seen translations everywhere that argue the beginning chant is "Död" (which translates to "Death" if i'm not mistaken) while others are "Flå"
Dark Western I actually said that in comment originally, then used the edit tab, as "summoning" seem presumptious... since they call him a god. Great minds and all that i guess.
Great translation! Only problem is that you got the chanting part wrong in a lot of places.. They are actually singing "död" withs means "death". But they do sing "flå" in some places to.. :D
I even fixed my spin reformed bone and killed broken bone my spin is compeltely fixed all bone replaced and now I do Hindu push ups back extends hand stand push ups I do barrel rolls I attack with no mercy - willy 0
Actually, Sweden was pretty brutal up to just about 400 years ago. xD One wouldn't think it. But they had conquered most of the balcan area in Europe. They even had a hand in what formed Germany and their main issues that led to the first world war (Although to be fair, a lot of countries contributed to that). There are even some statues left in Poland of the Swedish King at that time that was a warmongerer.
Wait so if Spinal has no muscles obviously then how does his skeleton body become animated without his soul or and residual lifeforce energy? The lyrics makes this song and character make no sense even from a fantasy standpoint. Because the people called forth Spinals spirit to possess his body in revival to aid them in crushing their enemies. So if his spirit inhabits his body from the summoning then how does it makes sense to say in said lyrics that he is "soulless" Very contradictory I must say.
"We eat mushrooms for power and intoxication" fuck yeah Spinal
This theme alone makes Spinal like a million times more badass
Why do you think he's been my favorite since 95
No bones about that.
What would make it better is if they put a sound byte of Spinals laugh somewhere in the song
@@HisDudeness2020 YOHOHOHO!

Fun fact spinal spent a couple hundred years walking around on the bottom of the ocean looking for the mask of the ancients.

When you eat the entire bottle of calcium gummies, this is what you become
You know... assuming the lyrics are accurate. They sort of paint Spinal as being some kind of ancient hero if you think about it.
The song and lyrics make me think that Spinal may have once been some sort of Khal Drogo-esque warlord (or some European equivalent), this whole 'lifeless, soulless, baptised in blood' sounds to me as though he was BORN a warrior and leader of men, dedicated to killing and conquering.

Wind howling... Choppy, angry sea... Weather worn Skeleton crew rowing relentlessly towards their quaking enemies all while chanting this.
They need to make a scene of that it would be EPIC AS FUCK💀
Doesn't get any more metal than a war cry of chanting, describing the eternal struggle and the wrath you will put upon your eternal enemies.
I thought Spinal was a pirate!? Like the ones from the West Indies but I guess not! That's still cool though! HE'S AN UNDEAD VIKING GOD!
The SeaDevil101 that looks like a pirate for some reason (not complaining, just saying) its peculiar.
Then again, Vikings were technically pirates... Except more Scandinavian
I thought Spinal looked like he was wearing a Scottish tartan or parts of a ripped up kilt.
The SeaDevil101
He literally has Viking stuff in game. 😑
Weren't the Vikings in Scotland at one point, though? Also I think it's interesting how they ask Spinal to become their Chieftain or Warchief. It would make more sense if he became Warchief considering they're going to war, but this would mean that there are multiple clans that willingly call for Spinal's help.
Officially the best song of the game given this context
The only Swedish I'll remember till I die (or at least go senile) comes from that intro. Damn is it fun to chant along!
ChronoEdge i just made a recopilaton of some parts of the lyrics for a maybe future idea of a a tattoo
God I pray for your future nurse/caretaker, cuz they gonna think your a madman....going madder?
The lyrics make me want to write an epic fantasy.
Do it, man. I don't care if you write it yourself or get help from those AI programs like Claude and ChatGPT. Just do it.
Great, now I will never be able to pick another stage besides Spinal's stage. Thanks a lot, every other stage is now less epic in comparison.
Bloodredtyrant youve been saved then
When death is at the gates, spinal has already led the way and left a ghost town, death just collects souls.
Swedish is kinda badass
Thanks m80
ikr
Not when you actually understand it.
It kind weird, non-swedish speakers seems to think so but Swedes themselves think it sounds lame as hell. At least I do :P
they invented badass
Speed 2x
*HANG ON CHEWIE WE GOING INTO HYPERSPOOK*
(if there was 3x or 4x)
LUDICROUSSPOOK!
GO!
they went to plaid!
Spinal had no flesh & meat,he nothings but Bone.he bad to the bone
so spinal is a fucking Swedish skeleton warrior pirate god. You cant get much cooler than that.
All fun and games until the trees start talking

Thank YOU for making the effort. Other than the chant which IS very hard to make out, I think you nailed it. So, great job. =)
the only thing i missed in this song is spinal luaghter at the beginning of the song other than that it's just pure art, keep up the good work man
that i can understand, and it's still a very good choice
Dark Western no problem man and keep up the good work
iiZeMaN and the voices chanting spinal
This song hits different when you realize Spinal looked like a Harryhausen tribute
What a glow up.
This theme could almost be used in Shadows of Mordor. Has this oddly familiar sound...except the lyrics of course.
the beginning sounds like a sacrificial ritual
It is and isnt, it's a chant. But then they're making more skeletons for his army
