  • Has anyone tried listening to Wardruna whilst meditating? This is the perfect meditation music, I'm gonna try it tomorrow. :)

  • Gaahl has a very distinct voice

  • boring shit

  • @makina777 your mom is boring.

  • @oasisforever00 hi mom :)

  • @makina777 you are booring shithead.asshole

  • @123ahrrr this song and band is boring dude, you're just defending it cause you are in love of gaahl xD

  • @makina777

    I really don't like gaahl, but i love this band...

  • @CorvusArcanus i prefered this guy in gorgoroth cause the current vocalist sucks, his voice is weak

  • @makina777 If you don't like it, then just go away and listen to that which you Do like.

  • @guitarii The best statement a person could say. You are the most "smartest" person I have seen so far on Youtube and that is no joke.

  • I find it pathetic that people want to talk shit on Gaahl simply because he s gay. When he was lead singer of Gorgoroth people didnt think he was a faggot they enjoyed his music. I still enjoy it regardless.

  • Gaahl is really amazing, I like him with wardruna more than gorgoroth

  • amazing...

  • Does anyone know the name of the guy playing the Jouhikko???

  • Love this music ! Added to my playlist, thank you for posting.

  • Each time i listen to it i hear major influences from Jan Garbarek. It's something good...

  • extremely entertaining to watch, must have been quite an experience live.

  • me encanto gaahl eres grande (Y) !!!!!!

  • what's the horn called that is kvitrafn starts playing at 1:06?

  • why is gayhl on stage?

  • @internetmacker My guess is because he's in the band.

  • @HoleThroughTheSkin so that is where this "warm" atmosphere is coming from.

  • jeg liker norsk musikk

    I like Norwegian music

  • its pagan folk music guys.

  • Aaah ! Ce groupe me ressource d’énergie, c'est toujours un plaisir d'en écouter après 1 ans et demi d'écoute régulière!

    Mais a quand le second volet ...

  • @LLIaTyH And you just killed the commentfield with a homophobic, narrowminded and plain stupid comment. Just shut the f*ck up and enjoy the f*cking music darling.

  • @LLIaTyH This so called "Faggot" once tortured a dude by squeezing his balls and collecting his blood in a cup threatening to make him drink it. And he'd do the same to you if you'd say that to his face.

  • @ThrashMetalBovi Ye agressive stupid faggot

  • @ThrashMetalBovi That sounds disgusting actually not admirable.

  • @Midvinterblot542

    That's what makes Gaahl so awesome.

  • Comment removed

  • 3:13 Amazing

    I want Wardruna at my funeral!!

  • @dorberg1 if you do not understand this music, you'll never understand the works of Burzum.

  • thats more then just great. i hope they will play in germany some time.

  • lindy fay hella is soooo damn gorgeous!!!!

  • Excelente ...

  • !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

  • That woman is just so..... enthralling!

  • It is sad that this is pretty much the only pride I can get out of being Norwegian, this and our viking history. Because when you look at our country, we abuse animals, exterminate our wolves and bears, being bitches to the USA. And Norwegians are pretty much identical to each other, wary of being different, such a pathetic people we are, its sad but true.

  • @Deathstick88

    I'm sorry to hear that, because as an American I'm fascinated with my British and European background. Although we also have our problems in the US---it's lost touch with any real traditions that are long standing, and the homogenized pop "culture" here disgusts me.

    I suppose you are not alone in that way of thinking.

  • @DIONY5O5

    Ok but in mario bro's when you got flower power that made you a bad ass...

  • Very beautiful Pagan music, very well performed. I have noticed though that Gaahl closely resembles my late Grandfather-who was definately of Scandanavian ancestry.

  • 1:55 to 2:00... far right, what instrument is that?! I must know.

  • @HeidnischerKrieger Jouhikantele

  • @Desantjer Thanks!

  • This makes Gaahl seem even creepier.

  • Perfectly clear !!! tribute to Norwagian music from SLOVAKIA !!!

  • Can someone tell me the instrument that just drones one note in the background the entire time??? or is it a sound sample??

  • @mroubison its probably a mouth harp

  • @mroubison

    google: "Mouth harp" or "ozark harp" EXTREMELY annoying instruments. 

  • This is deep stuff for those with old scandinavian blood. Really holy type jams.

  • @drubeast From doing a little bit of Runic meditation study I can tell a bunch of the songs are named after runes easily. Even the sounds of the songs fit the runes. Wardruna is genius.

  • deep and spiritual music

    an hymn to the past,traditions,old beliefs

    hail to wardruna !!

    admiration and respect

  • wtf kinda music is this?!

  • Vraiment envoûtant, mais a quand le second album ??

  • Gaahl sounds just like Till Lidermann from Rammstein yes???

  • i cant believe he is gay!!! the vocal!!!

  • @heavy671 I think the only reason he said that is cause he is satanic and gay is antichristian

  • @KadeshLeMort No, actually i read an interview and he is a complety faget, i mean he is hanging out whit the clasic femenin fashion clothe designer gay, its an atrocity!! (i mean im not homofobic but in black metal that its really a shame)

  • @heavy671 he is gay only so he can rape christian ass...

  • This is magic. I love Wardruna so much that I carved their logo on my favourite flute.

  • OK.. so i don't understand nothing but it sounds cool..

    what are the songs about???

  • That it the gay - I don't condemn him! It is free in the choice! In its this world that interests him should interest only, instead of how at it will look at others. The Satan is freedom! Freedom to be that whom you want to be!

  • @Midvinterblot542 There is no evidence of pre-Christian secular laws in Iceland regulating homosexuality, calling it a "high crime" , or a crime at all. There were social norms regarding it but it was not seen to be perverted, evil, or against nature. Related attitudes centered on manliness or the perceived lack thereof, and people had less of a problem with a dominant homosexual than a passive one. It was Christianity which made homosexuality "evil", "perverted", etc., and related laws ensued.

  • Comment removed

  • @Midvinterblot542 I am sorry, but it is you who are mistaken, and I am not being politically correct. Our ancestors were much more tolerant (I didn't say "accepting") than you give them credit for. I suggest that you do your research too. Start with "Gunnora Hallakarva", an on line article published by Fordham University. Then again, if you are predisposed to clinging to your views, you will ignore research which does not support it. I once thought like you. I no longer do re: this topic.

  • @Midvinterblot542 I do know the meaning of agr and nid. In pre-Christian Scandinavia, issues re: homosexuality focused on the lack of manly qualities exhibited by the passive male partner, who acted "like a woman". THAT was the issue. Please cite ONE pre-Christian Heathen source that LEGALLY condemns homosexuality. I say "legal" because you said that it was a "high crime resulting in exile", and that is what I was addressing, not the non-legal social attitudes of the time. Clear now?

  • @Midvinterblot542 A law in the Old Norwegian Gulathingslog, Ch. 32, passed in 1164, says that two men who have sexual relations are to have their possessions confiscated. This regulation, introduced by King Magnus Erlingsson, is the only anti-homosexual measure in Medieval Scandinavian law. Severe penalties for homosexuality do not appear until the 13th century. In the 12th century, the punishment was likely to be penance, as it was for incest or fornication. These are Christian punishments.

  • @Midvinterblot542 Also, please note the difference between "acceptance" and "tolerance". Homosexuality WAS frowned upon in the Viking Age, as were "gay" insults, but homosexuals (especially if passive) were ridiculed or ignored. They were not beaten, jailed, hung, burned, or otherwise killed as they were after Christianity came. The problem again was men "acting like women", or like slaves, being passive, not in control, irregardless of who their partner was.

  • I feel fucking weird listening to peacefull music after Gorgoroth!

  • @SlayerMegadeth86 Peacefull!? You gotta be fucking kidding me...One thing the norsemen are not is peacefull and neither is their music.

  • @3dDuke I might have used the wrong term because this(indeed) makes me think of a battle(which is not a peacefull thing at all) but when you listen to this after Gorgoroth...

  • @SlayerMegadeth86 It happens to the best :), and yes, this sounds like a battle call or some sort of thing like that

  • @3dDuke You obviously don't know much about "Norsemen." Most "Norsemen" were farmers, not warriors, although they have earned a reputation for their successful viking raids. If you have read any of the eddas or sagas you would understand their view on life and nature.

  • @Midvinterblot542 So? I do know that. I also know they used mercenaries or slaves. But they were also merciless killers. Have you read any norse kings sagas? Looks like you haven't.

  • @3dDuke If you know, then why make a claim that they were NOT peaceful. You're making false statements and for that you are called out. The end.

  • @Midvinterblot542 The one making false statements is you. The vikingr were peacefull towards nature, those who opposed them would only see and face deadly killers. I fail to see where that is peacefull, your making them look like they were a bunch of weak pussies rather than the brave, fine warriors they were.

  • @3dDuke You're jumping to conclusions like the fool spoken of in the Havamal. The Norse peoples were both peaceful and warlike when necessary. They were overall noble and honorable, not "weak pussies" as you have insinuated.

  • @Midvinterblot542 Noble? They were mostly folk from villages, there were no nobles, more like "warlords" than nobles (they were barbarians basically). I am not insinuating they are "weak pussies", it's you who is making them look like that.

  • @3dDuke Is English not your first language? Noble has more than one definition, look it up.

  • @Midvinterblot542 It is not

  • very nice :)

  • @originalnickname93 , a bit narrowminded i guess?

  • it's funny seeing gaahl so peaceful.. :D

  • @MsTrinaa You can tell he's very concentrated.

  • @MsTrinaa well... gaahl was always peaceful and calm. even when he was still with gorgoroth. just saying...

  • @MsTrinaa music can soothen the savagest beast... or the wildest bitch in this case. LOL.

  • this is asgardian awesomeness welcome to the halls of valhalla Ghaal!

  • Gaahl..playing it safe???

  • thank you wardruna from vinland........the few of us here in the states who feel baldrs presence when experiencing these sounds really are grateful........cant wait for rune wheel 2...............HAILSA!!

  • People talk about Gods 'n Stuff... even better than Black Metal...?

    I don't give a fuck... there are NO FUCKING GODS... there never will be.

    Just fucking humans doing their thing... Living - Breathing - Existing.

    And sometimes creating. Fuck the old Gods - because there are none.

  • final good music for the gods and its not black metal where everyone is growling and screaming and you cant understand one word

  • Hail the old gods!

  • Gaahl totally doesnt fit in. hahah

  • Kto z Piekła kciuki w górę : D

  • Please help me find some bands that are similar to Wardruna. I can't seem to find a single song similar to their style. There are a lot of Neo Folk and Folk bands and all of the one's i heard have very little in similarity to Wardruna. I hate Viking Metal and stuff like that, so forget about it, all i want is pure acoustic songs with a dark and deep feel that Wardruna creates. I would be much greateful.

  • @ziribai Tried Hagalaz Runedance or Swedish Arcana? Not quite the same thing, more modern than this. But there are quite a few traditional folk acts here in Sweden that does this kind of music. I'm sorry I don't know any names on top of my head right now.

  • @ziribai

    Wardruna have some links on their page I think. I'm not sure what you're looking for, but have you heard of Mari Boine?

  • @ifosfamid Thank you, Mari Boine is not what i was looking for, I've managed to find some great artists in the genre i'm searching, perfect example is Ruhr Hunter

  • This is a side of Ghall that i didnt knew o.O excelent music

  • im readin the poetic edda right now.(not too good at icelandic so i decided to read it in swedish) dude its hard because of old expressions and that whole thing but its bloody worth it.

  • I just got a boner.

  • that was spot on... insane. i love this band.

  • best band!

  • the chick is beautiful id smell her ass like a damn dog

  • sorry if i sound like an idiot (im new to black metal) but was this before or after Gaahl in Gorgoroth?

  • @MrSupermandude after

  • @MrSupermandude after

  • @MrSupermandude After

  • Thank you Jah for devising Vikings! ;)

    This is no longer a music, its masterpiecie!

  • is no one realizing this noob guy is a troll?

    Black Metal isn't to everyone's liking, but to openly bash a genre that Wardruna is obviously not even associated with, aside from Gorgoroth's former vocalist being involved in, is silly.

    I for one like Black Metal, save the incest themed insults for someone who cares

  • @robertleuthold Who's the troll? I cannot tell because they both seem to be (unfortunately).

  • @celticbattleaxe I was referencing @NoobFTWin

    granted, this will no doubt rouse him and I am all outs of Grandpas Guitars to put him back to sleep ;)

  • Come, on here: both of you - quit arguing over absolutely nothing!!

    First off, IQ is NOT a measure of how smart you are - it is merely a STANDARDIZED test comparing you to everyone else, which doesn't mean you are necessarily stupid - don't even try to argue with me - Psychology is my major. Secondly, I am a Celtic Pagan, but I respect Christians ONLY if they respect everyone else. Just shut up, both of you, and listen to this spectacular piece!! COEXIST, people; COEXIST.

  • whats the name of that beautiful girl?

  • @danielnaranjo77

    Her name is Lindy Fay Hella

  • Feo! Uraz!! Thurisaz!! Ansuz!! Raido!! Kauno!! Gyfu!! Wunjo!!Hagalaz! Nadiz!! Isa!! Jera!! Ihawz!! Peorth!! Algiz!! Sowilo!! Tiwaz!! Berkanan!! Ehwaz!! Mannaz!! Laguz!! Ingwaz!! Othila!! Dagalaz!!!!

    The words of Thor himself

  • I feel this is as good as Black Metal. Is Gaahl performing as a sirens?

  • @SlippedWolf

    You mean you feel this is as BAD as black metal? because black metal is such a crap!

  • @NooBFTWin Why the fuck do you watch/comment these videos if you dont like them? Are you some kind of stupid asshole with no respect for someone else musical taste?If you are one,well congrats for being such an ASS...if you spent your time watching this,for sure you would enjoy viewing your mother doing a horse.I´m pretty sure that the biggest shit isn´t black metal nor ambient folk, its you and your ridiculous closed anus-like mind! so please stop doing cock-sucker comments and go fuck yourself

  • @BardagiOkSigr

    Well, I have a normal life actually, only people that listen to black satanic metal do have problems and would probably do all these things u mentioned, man just admit ur life is a shit and u listen to black metal because it is as sad as u are.

  • @NooBFTWin

    Normal?Hey imbecile just uncovered up that you're embarrassed by your mediocre meaningless life... after all,who the fuck say "black satanic metal"? what a moron,serious problems come from people like you (christian-minded scum that thinks everyone else outside their ideals is "a shit").Maybe you're right in something, im kind of sad...after realizing how low and lame humans can be because of people like yourself. If you have some self respect left or any IQ point, STOP WRITING CRAP!

  • @BardagiOkSigr

    My mediocre meaningless life? My life is pretty OK, and I'm happy with it, something that probably may look weird to you, since you like black metal, probably the most crap and sad music around, and the fact that someone that likes that kind of crap talks about IQ just makes me laugh, and oh, im not christian, but there's a big difference in not being christian and being anti-christian "because it looks cool" like you probably are, now go cut your veins, fag (like this singer)

  • Thank you kvitrafn! This is the sort of music I've always wanted to hear! Fits so good to nature itself.

  • Unbelievable. Amazing!

  • How is that flut from 1:05 - 1:42 called? where can I get one?

  • @MrLackan I guess it's bukkehorn (goat horn).

  • @MrLackan

    all the instruments are self made ..

  • Breathtaking...

  • If I was of Nordic heritage, I'd be obsessing over these guys right about now.

  • amazing band.!!!!!  Lindy is really gorgeous!!!!

  • VERY much better than black metal!!

  • BEST MUSIC EVER.

  • anyone know what that wind instrument is played by the blonde guy in the front?

  • @sparticaldidit It looks like an animal horn of some sort.

  • @sparticaldidit Aha, I see on another video that it's a goat horn.

  • Åt mina svenska vennar! Vi har mycket gemensant. Dom ska inte ta oss!

  • Wardruna >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Gorgoroth.

  • Anyone have the full lyrics to this song? Can't seem to find the parth that Gaahl wispers... >_>

  • they've gone beyond the metal world, the music is deeper felt,,,,,on their way to becoming gods :)

  • oh my god i've only ever heard gaahls black metal vocals but he really has a wonderful clean voice.

  • the song sends a beautiful chills down the spine

    interesting to see Gaahl in a non black metal setting (but I give him high marks for his part)

  • black metal + dead can dance=Wardruna

  • woooow this music really touched me ! *.*

  • This is ZENA, Queen of warriors!

  • @Wayfarer8 omg lmfao

  • What genre is this? 

  • @NecroLust1349 Neofolk, Ambient

  • @northeromen I have to admit, this is pretty good. I was really just checking out to see how this music would sound after Gorgoroth, but Kvitrafn makes great spiritual music.

  • @NecroLust1349 Norse Folk

  • what is the name of the horn type instrument? where can I buy one?

  • this is great, I don't get why people are so amazed that Gaahl could do something so different to Gorgoroth. It's like food, you wouldn't want to eat fried chicken all the time, why would you just want to play the same kind of music all the time? Anyway Black Metal has nowhere to go, it's a musical dead end, many adherents are religious about it, all these "rules" about what IS Black Metal, a bit boring after a while.

  • @skwijeebob1 Hmm I see what you mean but I have to disagree with you on this one. IMO black metal is a living and evolving genre. (I know, BM extremists will say that it's not a genre, it's a way of living and all that crap) But from an objective point of view, I think BM bands have dead ends, not BM itself. There still are BM bands out there, like Moonsorrow, Enslaved, Negura Bunget, Kroda etc that play BM in their own way without making it sound stale.

  • @J33vs thanks, I'll check out those bands.

  • why he cut his hair?

  • is gaahl still in wardruna or has he quite all music now?

  • Mindblowing! I love the Norse mythology.

  • Wow! The norwegian national sport: posing!

  • any of yall know there saying?

  • This is amazing...I'm so in love with Nordic Mythology and culture that I can't stop listening to it.

  • this way beyond "f*ck"..

    this is some devine music , the music of the nordic gods

    A tale told by the runes them selves

    Thank you guys and girls for THIS experience

  • gayboy,but its ok

  • its a lil bit unreal if you look at gaahl back in the days with gorgoroth and now with wardruna.its like he´s another person.

  • ROCK ON GAAHL!

  • shivers my whole body! beyond awesome!

  • gaahls makeup is nowhere near as intimidating as the corpse paint.

  • Gaahl is my hero, i really look up to this guy.

  • poor....What had become of Gaahl????

    Of Ice and Movement is dead and buried....

  • @okrum Fuck this is much better than black metal

  • @Moonsorrow84 I personally don't think so but It's a question of taste I guess...

  • @Moonsorrow84

    everything is better than black metal ! haha

  • @Moonsorrow84

    bullshit it is. its great though.
