This is interesting to have a video make you explain your love of FOLK MUSIC ALL AROUND THE WORLD.... and it be BLOCKED in most of the world.... REALLY?!?
Doesn't seem to be blocked in Australia.
@@Ineluki_Myonrashi lucky for you guys.... its is blocked across Europe hell its not blocked in the USA but is blocked in Puerto Rico a territory OF THE UNITED STATES?!? explain it to me?
@@OldSkuleNerd 2021 baby, 2020 is old enough to drink so now we're all getting slammed with Drunk Universe
Me watching this from the netherlands with a VPN I wanted a few years ago while I didn't knew what to do with my VPN.
Well that sucks ☹️ you should check out Apocalypse Orchestra- garden of Earthly Delights. Metal with bagpipes and a hurdy gurdy.
The instrument is called a TaglHarpa. The rough sound you refer to might be because the strings are horse hair instead of nylon strings used on most violins. Einar is extremely talented and i would love to see more of him on the channel.
Dude you have to do Wardruna "Helvegen" with Aurora.
Totaly agree the best song ever
This!!!
For sure!
Amen to that! Also Skugge. They have a lyric video on it
it is done
Wardruna is legit. They do culturally correct instruments and styles. I think they did the opening theme song to the History show Vikings, and the main guy worked with the video game designers for Assassin's Creed: Valhalla to get the music right. Such a great group.
The opening is Fever Ray. But they did make up a lot of the soundtrack especially in the first couple of seasons!
IIRC we don't exactly know what norse music sounded like, but we know of the instrument we had. So basically any "norse" music we have is an educated guess. Still cool as hell though
You have to watch Einar Selvik's live viking suite, it left me almost in tears its so powerful.
His instrument is called a Tagelharpa and it's a Nordic instrument from the viking age. I'ts named after the Word Tagel which means Horse hair from which the strings are made.
Wardruna's songs always give me an unimaginable energy. I listened to Kvitravn right before a big interview; I was nervous, almost shaking; started the interview after listening to this masterpiece, passed it with no effort.
Fun fact: Einar's nickname while playing drums for Gorgoroth was "Kvitravn- the white Raven"
songs called white raven "sounds like a crow" I'm gonna say probably not a crow.
Einar has also made music for "Vikings" (the show) and more recently the soundtrack for "Assassin's Creed Valhalla". Also I was lucky enough to experience Wardruna's live performance with Aurora in Bergen (I live one hour away), the one "every" YT reactor have done for the past few years. :p Truly a memory I will never forget, it was such a magical night!
Odin has two ravens that aid him in watching over earth.Huginn (thought) and Muninn (memory). There's a myth that says that at first they were white as the snow (a sign of purity) but at some point the Allfather asked them to see into people's souls and that's how they turned black as the night.
Thanks so much for doing Kvitravn. The W in Wardruna is pronounced as a V. Einar Selvik used to be drummer for death metal band Gorgoroth. Since you liked this one check out their song Helvegan live with Aurora.
The other great folk band to check-out is Heilung LIFA Krigsgaldr the live video was their first public performance and it was perfect.
I second this.
yes love that song
i got only one thing to say yes
black metal, not death metal
sort of allredy done already done Oldskulnerd REACTION to Heilung | LIFA - Krigsgaldr LIVE Oldskulenerd REACTION to Heilung - Norupo Live at Aurora
Glad you enjoyed this, folk music is amazing. Einar is known for singing with despair and having a texture to his voice that makes it sounds like it's from the past. Einar also was the composer for the TV show Vikings. He looks like Ragnar, HAHA but didn't see Jax from SoA until you said it.
Try either Gra, Lyjaberg, Raido by Wardruna. Those all have videos and are beautiful. I love Einar and his music with Wardruna. Found them not too long ago but can't live without it now. Do you take donations for requests? Just to make sure they get reacted to? :)
Yes, just love Raido!
Einar Selvik spends much time in the nature,finding inspiration,recording sounds and videos. This one they recorded in Russia. The white ravens are very rare,but this one suddenly appeared when they started to shoot the film. And,mind you,KVITRAVN (White Raven) is Einar's spiritual name. Naturally,both the band and the filmcrew were awestruck!
Einar SO deserved this,he is really an awesome guy,and gives so much of himself in his musical project...
And you,Mr.,had a really insightsful reaction here,glad you got a kick out of Wardruna - you can look forward to five amazing records! As next song,I recommend LYFJABERG,another new song that comes with a wonderful video from nature.
Thanks for listening,bye-bye! 😁
No this is definitely a trained Raven. Meeting a Leucistic raven in the wild at a shoot for a song called white raven is like winning the lottery 10 times in a row.
If i'm not mistanken the main singer here used to play drums for Gorgoroth, a Norwegian metall band.
Norwegian satanic black metal. Badass band too. Him and Gaahl in my opinion were who made that band what it was
Very well said, it's definitely Hypnotic, you should try Wardruna - Healing mountain, it's even better in my opinion. Lucky I'm in Aus, I have no idea why anything like this would be geo blocked... Thanks OldSkule :-) These folk songs are almost spiritual in nature and hit inside.
"comforting - hypnotic - unsettling" you just explained our existence on this earth/in this universe. everybody knows this but don't really want to say it and hypnotize themselves with the ego.
Fun fact. Einar was the drummer for the band gorgoroth from 2000- 2004.
So late to this game😢. Love your reactions! Especially happy to have found you doing Wardruna! I see a fleur de lis in your logo. Saints fan, perhaps? I'm from just South of Baton Rouge. Coonass from the Bayou, baby!
Anyway, it was Sleep Token that initially drew me in, but I'm here for everything else! Thanks for the great reactions!
the instrument is called a tagelharpa or talharpa (tail harp so called because they use horsetail hair to string the instrument) there is a similar instrument from my country (Wales) called a Crwth, which Wardruna also used on their most recent album Kvitravn
Comforting, Hypnotic and unsettling. That describes the Norwegian landscape.
Ok next step is over to the Færoe islands and check out Eivør. She's done a bit of everything. Personally I like her Folktronic stuff but she has the most incredible voice. For both extremes you should try Trodlabundin and Falling free live at the old theatre Thorshavn. You'll thank me lol
Love both of those, but my favourite is I Tokuni, just magical!
Oh and it's pronounced VAH - DREW - NAH
Taglharpe basically a wood frame and horse hair strings with a bow
Loved this!! Should definitely check out Raido or Lyfjaberg next!!
The instrument used is a Taglharpa.
You gotta check out the folk group Skald . start with the song Rün
Another band in the same vein as Wardruna is Skáld; they are a band that was made to emulate the Viking poets and their poetry. I recommend their song Rún as a good primer as it is similar to White Raven which you seemed to like, but it's more reliant on the drum as the core of it's music.
Kvitravn is Einars stage name from Gorgoroth. The instrument is a Nordic instrument called tegelharp. It rough sound is pretty close to the norwegian national instrument - the Hardanger fiddle. An eight or nine stringed violin 🎻
In 500 years wardrunna will be thaught in history class...
Wardruna is making music from the viking age. They have made songs based on many of the writings and verses from that era. Einar Selvig, the singer and songwriter, has made alot of the music for the tv-series Vikings and also did a song for the latest Assassins Creed game Valhalla. He is a Viking, thats why he has the viking beard. No one else in Norway has a beard like that, so im wondering where you have seen all these other Scandinavian people looking like this :)
i got even more enjoyment out of you´r heilung reaction now that i seen this one
Not only are wardruna extremely talented musicians but Einar is an amazing story teller. And let’s not forget the cinematic of their videos
Oh yea.. I forgot to mention my friend Sigurboði Grétarsson from Iceland. He has performed with Einar also
Dude, you now must do Heilung. Krigsgaldr is a great start.
I've been saying this for a while!
So is In Maidjan. From there, Alfadhirhaiti is an absolute banger
Wow he made a video of the one you said, it came out a week ago im gonna watch that one after this
already done it was great inspiring and funny all hail Nordic t-pain 😂😂😂
In Majdan is a must as well
You NEED check out Helvegen with Wardruna & Aurora
it is don some years leter but it is done
I dare you to find one Wardruna song that isn’t captivating! I’m waiting.
Some suggestions:
Lyfjaberg (Healing mountain)
Raido
Grà
Raido is my favourite!
it is funny that you said you had never seen a white raven because in Iceland we have a saying that goes, ''sjaldséðir eru hvítir hrafnar'' (Rough English translation, it's rare to see white ravens) and you would use that for a person you haven't seen for awhile.
I get goosebumps every time by this song. The instrument Einar plays here are a "Moraharpa" one of the oldest versions of harps in scandinavia. For me Wardruna (Ward-runa) is much like Heilung is a kind of music that speaks to my spirit for lack of better words. Call it magic or such but i think you either feel it or you dont. Some people dont have that connection. I get both focused and relaxed by this kind of music. Folk metal aint heavy metal so its not always an easy step for some people to like both genres. I do however. I often mix Manowar for example with folkmetal on my lists :).
The lyrics of this song is basically about finding and following a spirit animal in this case White raven and sore on the winds.
Its a Sami inspired song. Samis are indigenous people of Scandinavia who existed there before the germanic tribes settled there and became the dominant power. Samis had a shamanistic religion and although its probably not practised as much today they still have it inbedded in their culture. There still exist "wise women" :).
Love Warduna great reaction. Cool fact he was actually part of the soundtrack for Assasins Creed Valhalla
@oldskulenerd Some one may have mentioned it earlier but one of the guys in wardruna made the music for Assassins creed valhalla togheter whit the guy that made the music for the tv series Vikings.
This is the most heart felt song I've ever heard! The Kvit part is like a "vit" then ravn part is like "Rawven" the name of the group "ward" "roonuh" "woredroonah" Wardruna... I'm new to your channel, but if you like this song-check out Solringen, Helvegen, Skugge and Lyfjberg... they are incredible... also the group Danhim is amazing!!!
How about a band nobody has reacted to yet that uses traditional instruments in their music. The group A Tergo Lupi, either Red Sun or Black Feathers for the song. And I believe the stringed instrument Wardruna is using is the Tagalharpa, same as A Tergo Lupi.
Love this band and song
SKÁLD - Rún
and basically there whole library
This is pure peace to a Norse soul.
Hail Odin.
Would also recommend giving Skàld a try. Rn is a great song.
Wardruna have a LOT of really great stuff, the singer Einar Selvic also did quite a bit of the music for latest Assassins Creed Valhalla game, and was also featured quite frequently on the Vikings TV series. Check out the song Helvegen in particular.
If you liked how his voice resonates, you’ll definitely like Danheim too.
As many others have said, you should definitely check out Heilung
Great Band!
It's a really good song imo, been listening to some of their music. The woman making the sound effects is at her best in this one, in some others she takes a bit more to get used to imo. Like how it was with old Nightwish where it took some getting used to the more opera like sound of many of their songs
White ravens are ultra rare. They get kicked out by their family of ravens cus of their lack of colour. So they have to survive alone in the wilds and that is really hard for them to do alone. So if you see white raven, you sure are lucky as hell. By the way raven in Viking mythology is seen as a wise messenger and often think of as protector, helper.
It is a Raven, a crow sounds much higher :) there is comparison videos on youtube that make it easier to discern.
Wardruna and Trevor Morris make Vikings show great
Can't wait to see you get into this stuff
The Norse were (and are) huge about groomed & braided beards. :)
Only rule if u visit Scandinavia , never tell us there is only one god that made u exist, that will make Tor, oden ,frej and freja angry and it will make us angry
And yes is a nordic instrument , a old swedish instrument that has been in scandinavia for centuries even at the time of the vikings
White Raven in norweigian according to google translate is Hvid Ravn Kvitravn. In danish is Hvit Ravn
As a person with a Norwegian last name... they put random consonants together that the american tongue just doesnt like...
That instrument is called a tagalharpa
wardruna use very very old music instruments, one could say.. ancient to theese days. they are mostly hand made replicas of what old vikings would use
"Textured Roots" 'nuf said.
Wardruna-Lyfjaberg is another really good one
Pro Tip: if you hit the CC button, it'll usually translate for you. It's especially helpful if you do "Healing Mountain" by them. Some deep lyrics there.
Also, the music isn't "unsettling", that's just your primal blood flowing again!
You need to see there live song of a song they did, this one being with Aurora
I also have metal background like you, I see much similarities to folkmusic
actually- and if you liked this just go on with more Wardruna. Love them
The song is meant to tell people not to mess with Norwegian, Danish, Swedish, or Finnish people."
Always good to see the codes start to peek out and activate, past any nation and BS. Welcome to to the "Raido" ;-)
tagelharpa by the way that is the instrument
Wardruna make their own instruments. To make it authentic
Our brothers in west
Well now you have to do Heilung. Another good folk group is Corvus Corvax, they've performed at Wacken Open Air.
it is done
If you are entering folk metal, you should also give tiny Denmark a go, try Myrkur - ulvinde.
❤
Dude they done the theme song for vikings or helped with some of the songs
Hey OldSkule..Check out Songleikr..... Maria Franz and Christopher Juul also of Heilung doing Norwegian Folk music. I recommend the song Ulvetime (Hour of the Wolf). But yes also check out Heilung
Bethesda should pay wardruna to put some of their songs on a new skyrim game
He actually helped make a lot of the songs for Assasins Creed Valhalla :)
the strings are horsehair i believe
Eluvietie swiss folk metal, Faun German Folk, idk what else you've done. Skald I like some of, Danheim etc if you like this style. This is the first of your reactions I watched but I love this song.
But anyways I love this stuff I am all into viking music this is awesome I'm glad you found it great to see you finding this stuff
You will like Heilung. Take songs from the LIFA live at Castlefest concert.
Start with:
In Maidjan.
Then:
Alfadhirhaiti
Krigsgaldir
Hamrer hippyer
Also try the band Skald with the song Run.
Danheim
Paleowolf
Faun
sort of allredy done already done Oldskulnerd REACTION to Heilung | LIFA - Krigsgaldr LIVE Oldskulenerd REACTION to Heilung - Norupo Live at Aurora
If you loved this you should also listen to “Helvegen” and “Lifjaberg” by Wardruna!
You should try Heilung. Especially Noporo. That one doesn't get enough attention and it's AMAZING
it is done do a look at he´s chanel
Can you react to Heart of Iron by Sabaton? Tells the story of the German 12th army in 1945 and how they saved another German army and civilians at the end of the Berlin offensive. You'll dig it
Sabaton is always a great listen.
It's called a "string harp" 😁
Heilung next! Norupo, In Maidjan, or Krigsgaldr pleez!
As others have stated give Heilung a try.
lol I like this guy can u do more wardruna and some soad ?
The rat tail is a viking thing
You should check out Finnish neo-folk group Tenhi. They don't put out much music anymore, but they are impressive.
Definitely check out Eluveitie
um......... REALLY?!?
ruclips.net/video/b68dIJfLkyY/видео.html
@@OldSkuleNerd I just started following a few days ago so haven’t seen your whole list yet lol you got a lot of vids mang
Please react to his other song called (helvegen)
Dude just subscribed love your content you have to give a reaction to Heilung they are a great band and the live shows are in a different world
Awesome reaction dude. Big hug from me in Sweden. Here comes some rantings: You cant just delve into a song and think you can interpret paganism :). The three of life is Yggdrasil and connects the Gods world with our world. Some of people today are very closedminded thanx too christianity itself :). Paganism has been around for 1 miljon years maybe longer because arkelogist have found tools from 600000 years ago....let that sink in we call that paganism because christ was nailed to a cross 2000 years ago. Me myself i always has preferred nature over a church i see life and i see will in nature i know the animals and i know the plants. A christian would almost call me a witch. But i grew up in Scandinavia in one of longest hold outs of "paganism" or Asatru as its really called here. Who to say who are wrong? I Christianity an insane cult that has lost its way from the gods or are the gods that was here in tune with earth evil for a million years or more?
Here comes ranting: you can’t just delve into a comment and think you can interpret Christianity
See what I did there…. Cheers
A cada rato paras y preguntas w...s xP
Einar & Ghaal = GORGOROTH !
Einar actually started Wardruna together with Gaahl after Gaahls release from prison
Two words:
Dzivia - Imperivm
Try some dutch folk music like "zeven dagen lang" from rapalje
should check out Ochelie Soroki. cool russian band, sourt of same type of music as wardruna.
would be nice with all the Russia hate going on these days.
be well greets from Norway
Nice reaction. Kvitravn sounds close to queet rovin :)
If you'd like something a bit lighthearted and silly, try the band Ruskaja (pronounced "Rus-sky-yah"). They are essentially a Russian ska band and they are hilarious in my humble opinion; I mean, how many bands sing a song about a tractor? The song I think you should start with is Baradad which translates as "beard" and is all about the mighty masculine mass of machismo (which the singer also rocks in the song).
Wardruna uses ancient instruments. You will NOT find any modern day instruments in their band, unless it existed in medieval times. Their instruments date as far back as 900 AD. If they couldn't get their hands on old instruments they made them, themselves.
i misst this one totala misst it shame on me
