@zubpetr They took a leave of 5 years - but just yesterday I found out that they are coming bak! Search for YouTube channel "GjallarhornOFFICIAL" or their web page:
gjallarhorn . se (remove the spaces; and just push OK for the stupid Licence Banners that keep popping up there).
New 20th Anniversary DVD is coming out and they are beginning to tour - both Europe and US this year!
Also Finland and Sweden was one country for hundreds of years. Not until recently (19th century) Finland became and autonomus country. They have to learn swedish in school too.
@Flyingtart Actually, we became and autnomous Grand Dutchy under Russian Imperial rule in the 19th Century, and and Independent country in the 20th Century ;)
And yeah "pakko ruotsi" or compulsory swedish. *sigh* That's what you get when 6% of the populace have a different first language....thank goodness english is compulsory too, at least where i live :)
I was once unaware that there were Finns who spoke primarily Swedish, however it makes sense. The Finnish folksong, Who can sail is written in Swedish (Vem kan segla forutan vind).
@cladam81 i don't think that that low sound you hear is a didgeredoo. it's an upright bass. you can hear by the clangy sounds in the beginning of the sound. you can hear the strings hit the fretboard. great song
Anyone knows what happened to Gjallarhorn? Please dont say that they are no more :*-(

It also makes sense since Sweden borders Finland.

Haha yeah why would you be learning swedish in school? Both swedish and finnish are two REALLY small languages. Useless...
Flyingtart 4 months ago
@Flyingtart They might be small languages, but when you live in the country where they are spoken... :p
but meh, I was forced to study swedish for almost 5 years, and I can't even say "Good afternoon" in swedish :/ Yeah, that was pretty useless ;)
Sad part is, I'm not even kidding...

@timotio444 ThAT may be a bass, but the digeridoo is an incredibly low horn sound you'll hear later in this song as well.
