I was born in scotland, but when I visited Norway, it was like I've been there before and I had even lived there before and listening to wardruna reminds me of my visit.
I get strange feelings when I listen to Wardruna that I cannot explain. It's defiantly not a bad feeling, it's sorta a peaceful feeling. I can feel it in my chest.
Let's stop with the argument about ancestry for now. I came here to enjoy this beautiful music. I feel at peace now, as should you. No need for quibbling!
this is the kind of music you would hear if you go to some Hindu temple. It's very interesting to find some similarity between two completely distinct cultures.....
@de1andeki actually, i grew up in India. that's why I was able to draw this comparison. On top that, if you compare the Norwegian mythology w/ ancient Indian believes, you can find a lot in common.
But, I agree w/ you. I haven't heard anything this good in a long while.
I'm surprised none mentioned that both who you are and ancestry define a person. Basically I believe a person is defined by its character only, but the character itself is highly influenced by ancestry and the environment in which the person grew up.
Therefore, both are required to fully define a person.
I have ancestors in Russia, Germany and Italy but this music makes me feel I belong somewhere to the Norweigan region ... strange ... there's no music I like more than this.
Apparently my 1/8th Cherokee joke wasn't firmly grasped by some. To be clear, I do not believe that, however, it seems that nearly everybody you meet enjoys claiming that they share blood with the ancient Whateverthehell tribe. More is the pity that I have to cover my previous comment, at sarcasm loses something when forced an explanation.
I do not apologize for failing to accept defining ancestry. It's a laughable claim that reeks too much of "sins of the father."
@Thrillseeker666 You should never let anyone define you but yourself; otherwise, you're just as bad as the teenagers that worship pop culture. There is nothing honorable about being a sheep. Our ancestors followed their own paths, so why can't you?
@Thrillseeker666 Why do you keep saying that your ancestry does define you? If you know nothing about your ancestry it does not define you at all. Only if you let it define you will it define you.
@Thrillseeker666 I guess you're not very smart or something. Ancestry means nothing. How can something other people have done, define you, merely because you share heritage? It can't. If one of your forefathers shot up a pre - school... Does that mean it defines you as a pre - school shooter too?
I would think not. All humans are the same, ancestry matters not... I am proud to be Norsk, however I do not let it define me. Why restrict yourself? That's what Black Metal is about. Open mind, friend
Ich bin als Sohn italienischer Emigranten in der Schweiz aufgewachsen.Ich finde euer endloses Gequassel über euer nordisches "Ahnenerbe" ziemlich daneben. Schreibt doch mal etwas über die Musik der Wardruna, anstatt über eure Gefühlchen. Nichts für ungut. 19 Marchi55
@19Marchi55 I wasn't babbling endlessly about anything. All I said was that I was proud of my Norwegian heritage, and I only said it once. But yes, I do love Wardruna's music.
Some of you might want to check out these websites. There is so much extremely valuable Ancient Pagan knowledge there. Go to EXPOSINGCHRISTIANITY,COM and JOYOFSATAN,ORG. These are our Pagan roots, and humanity's Original Religion. The whole reason for "religion" was to spiritually empower ourselves to get out of the cycles of reincarnation, and to overcome them. That's what these sites are all about. I personally love this CD, I use it sometimes to meditate, or driving music. Money well spent!!
One must remember that evolution has stopped for humans in the modern society, since everyone survives deseases and hard times. This means that all the different human races will mix, and become one that will be less adaptable to all the different climates on the earth. Therefore I think it would be a good idea to prohibit that different races get children with each other. If we let the mix continue, the humanity will suffer from a poorly adapted race for the rest of our future.
@BygdeNord That's patently wrong and not in line with the theory of evolution. Evolution continues to this day. Also there's a built-in safety in our system, if competition doesn't work, disease will. A huge amount of people will simply perish during the next plague, the few that remain will repopulate from scratch. Genetic variety is the key to survival for the species.
@abkalmo The evolution caused by desease in terms of plagues etc, does not make humans adapted to normal living, which really is all that matters. If only a few remain after a major plague, they will still be as adapted to normal life as their ancestors. Also, the genetic variety will be less if only a few people remains. In old times, nations mixed very slowly, which led to local mutations having a huge influence on the genetic variety from place to place, but this is not the case today.
@BygdeNord No, evolution leads to selection [of traits] changing the very nature of those that survive. The fact that they survived might be because of a genetic trait or feature, this variation will then quickly become dominant in the remaining population. Their ability to adapt is what will define them, they will not be like their ancestors.
The genetic variety will be cause for concern, however that is where exchange, mutation and natural selection [again] comes in to play.
@abkalmo If we are hit by a major plague, and only a few remain, they will still carry the knowledge and technologies of their ancestors forth, which leads to everyone surviving. This will further lead to no adaptation, since everyone survives anyway, and even though the survivors choose their partners by their traits, the ones with "worse traits" will still get their offsprings, who will mix with the ones with "good traits" eventually, and lead to a mixed race once more.
Do not make assumptions about my beliefs; I do not believe in an afterlife. So saying I believe what I believe because I fear death is asinine at best. Nor do I see gods as bearded men who ride through the sky. Rationalists can be spiritual too.
Do YouTube a favor and do your research before wasting everyone else's time. -_-

Funny how every American is 1/8 cherokee. Your blood lines don't define you, nor does your ancestry. Define yourself or you're just pissing in the wind.
@Thrillseeker666 All that diluted blood over in the US that makes them people think they were German or Irish or anything but American really... I find it pathetic. Not after so many generations, they are not.
@Peikko Sorry to disappoint you dude but i'm an american and i'm made up of (in order of amount) English, Scottish, German & Irish and a tad bit is unknown. I'd say as far as regional purity i'm doing ok.
For climatic adaptation i'm pretty well geared for cold rainy northern forests. I'm in the northwestern US and always wish i could move farther north.
Although i agree to a point, if a person's family moved all over and has all kinds of different ancestry... well they're just a mutt.
@275Ranger275 i think you're wrong that american is "1/8 cherokee" as u say. when you say "your blood lines don't define you, nor does your ancestry" you are saying that the roots dont matter. u dont understand. the roots are eternal, the roots grow before, are first, and create us, all of us. the roots matter more than us. all heritages are great just as the roots of all trees are great.
@KnifeNut88 you completely missed the point. let's say, your ancestors were great people who achieved alot, sure, it's good to acknowledge and respect them for that. However, all of this was done before you were born, you yourself contributed nothing to those achievements, so trying to gain reflected glory through association to them having descended from them makes you no better a person. You need to achieve something yourself to be a good person, not just be descended from good people.
@rabbitspliff whatever, if you come from a people that have achieved next to nothing you have less to be proud of and you are less capable. Not every race can put men on the moon.
@275Ranger275 This, though it is good to know your bloodline, know who came before you and strive to surpass their achievements and in turn, give your children new achievements to surpass. No cherokee in this lad, just Irish, Swiss, and Austrian.
I am a Christian, and i am proud of my Norse heritage, i wish not to figh with my fellow brethren, but to stand together agaist all oppression, which is our governments. Please brothers and sisters, we need to shut the fuck up, and join together.
I love this song...it reminds me of both my Norwegian/Norse-Gaelic heritage and my Cherokee/Mohawk heritage... :)
The pagans/shamans/heathens of the earth should stand together against the radical Christians and Muslims, not fight amongst ourselves...We all have a common goal, do we not? The preservation of the old ways of our ancestors and the freedom to practice them without having monotheism forced upon us...right?
I love this music - for me it's magic.....and for many of us pagan Northern Europeans this is the link to the other world.............our pagan Gods rising before us......mists and legends............wonderful !
This music leads me back to the roots of my spirituality. But well if Europe doesnt need a thing then its still more american influence. More of their respectless, arrogant behavior... and i really feel sorry for those who are that stupid and blindfolded to move there...
Twocows, you are an idiot, yes this is great music, but there are many great american bands as well. Just because our culture isn't like this doesnt make our music suck. Clearly you know nothing about music if you narrow it down to norwegian folk. Thing of the great american classical composers, how about metal bands like Between The Buried and Me or Necrophagist, how about classic rock like Led Zeppelin or ska like sublime, nope, you are narrow minded as fuck
i hate how i cannot enjoy nice solitude in nature with tunes like this without having people, houses, buildings, etc within at least a few miles. im going to have to travel.
I agree. I work out west over the summers and you can truly find some solitude in nature there. Sitting in a rain forest in Alaska, listening to a salmon stream; watching the sunset from inside a mountain basin with only the people I traveled there with. It's freeing. But when I'm home... even hiking in the White Mountains I see far too many people. There aren't enough conservation lands, so everyone flocks to the few that exist in the eastern US.
Stuff like this makes me proud to be a pagan... Though I have never set foot in Norway (yet), I can feel the longing my Great-grandfather Emil must have felt when he left Lillestrøm. Someday I will go there and see his home town... perhaps if I can coax a beer or mead recipe while I'm there from a local...
@panzerveps Oh, definitely, I think Lillestrøm would just have to be my first destination to see where my Great-grandfather lived, but I'll have to stay a while and go out into the countryside. Perhaps if I have the time for it when I do go, I would like to travel around for a few months.
This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life. God didn't go to all the trouble of sending his Son merely to point an accusing finger, telling the world how bad it was. He came to help, to put the world right again. Anyone who trusts in him is acquitted; anyone who refuses to trust him has long since been under the death sentence without knowing it
Are there any girls here from Norway? Everyone person I talk to that likes black metal is a guy! It's boring! Please female black metal listeners, if you are out there, reply to me, because I don't bite, I am friendly:)
How do you know this? What Tacitus tell us might actually indicate the opposite. He tells us that those who have commited perversal acts was thrown in swamps to die. Archaeologists have encountered some findings in these swamps; usually TWO MEN. Not Absolute evidence... but you can't look pass the chance of this beeing two homosexuals.
@dmaavaisd being a christian isnt necessarily bad. its what you do. some of my best friends are christians and a lot of dicks i hate are too. but the people that i know hate christianity today cuz they hav lost sight.
The message of metal, if any confusion (about the whole Gaahl homosexual thing): Be who and what you want to be, stand firm by it and fight for it if needed!
@TwoCows23 im a southerner asshole. southerners arent stupid. they may sound stupid by the way some of them talk but i assure that i among others are not unedjucated and i take offense to that. i like that you like the music but dont dog on other regions of your own damn country. i am a viking afterall none the less
@icancount2qbakwd I hope you're aware that I mean the Bible-thumping, Stars-and-Bars waving insane Southerners. I know there's smart Southerners. Like Thomas Harris. I like him.
Fuck you, if it wasnt for you stupid fucking northerners, we would be living in the shithole we live in now....and so do you believe that we were created out of nothing?? fuck off, its you retarded northerners without the fucking minds, on behalf of all americans, i apologize for alot of our stupidity, like this deuche bag
@TwoCows23 Pagan music in America would be closely tied to the Native American tribes, which we successfully commited genocide on. It has nothing to do with northerners vs southerners, it's a national atrocity.
@TwoCows23 Since when is creationism American. Dumb ass, try the Roman Empire (Italy) and England. There is a mass Viking population in America. Just like Italians and English. Do whatever you want in America. Just do it in your house and do not hurt anyone else. The Constitution gave the most free government ever. Norse civilization was too small and spread out to need democracy. But they were not anarchists. Odin demands order out of the chaos.
amerikanen hebben de band met hun oorspronkelijke culturen verloren , en zelf de paar goed ingelichte onder hun kunnen het niet meer écht snappen omdat ze in een andere omgeving opgegroeid zijn
alhoewel er overal wel uitzonderingen zijn
most americans lost their bond with their native cultures and even those who are well informed can't completely understand because you grew up in another culture ,
although I think exceptions can be found everywhere.
@TwoCows23 wow your so smart calling all people from the south stupid yet its the northern people who are holding us back. and how can you blame them for not hving this kind of music when its not thier culture, continent, religion, or even in the same 800 year gap beatween the two idiot
@TwoCows23 This is probably the dumbest comment to make on a video about Vikings who believed that the world was created by the gods. Vikings, Christian and pagan, believed the Earth and its creatures were made.
@TwoCows23 Actually my band mixes Baroque, Romantic, Classical, Blues, and Viking Tribal sounds like this into our Viking Metal style.......I like it to sound more like my Heritage Angelo Saxon and Norwegian.....I add Odinism and Asatru into it that sorta stuff death grunts and melodic vocals as well we are called Garmr and we hail from Maryland we are still in the writing process I am working on a five piece song called Ra'n Heart.........I guess it took a neo classical guitarist - me to do it.
@TwoCows23 ....stfu....Why would you apologize for creationism on behalf of all Americans when the majority of the world believes in some form of creationism....Dont insult your own country so you can kiss the asses of some Scandinavians.
@buttlord123 Wow, that is just pathetic. Do you even know what creationism is? I think maybe you're thinking of a creation myth in general. Those are perfectly cool. Creationism is something else entirely.
@TwoCows23 ...Idiot.. Creationism is the religious belief that the earth, humanity, life, and the universe are all the creation of a supernatural being "God"....The word Creationism doesn't just apply to the Americans that deny evolution etc.. It applies to Islam, Judaism, and Hinduism as well, they also believe that their "Gods" created the universe as it is today and also deny evolution etc..
Btw, I live in Texas and you can walk into any fuckin music store and buy this CD.
@buttlord123 That is what we call a "CREATION MYTH". THEY ARE TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT CONCEPTS YOU JACKASS.
Do yourself a favor: go to Wikipedia (and don't nitpick and say that Wikipedia lies. It doesn't.). Look up "creationism". Then look up "creation myth".
lol ok..you are wrong, but calm down little bitch...Like I said before Creationism refers to a WIDE range of beliefs, not just American Christianity!....You have already been corrected by several people in the comments below..But, this is all coming from a person that gets all his info from Wikipedia...go figure. lol
@buttlord123 Yeah, because Wikipedia actually, you know, cites its sources.
I suppose this is an argument over semantics though. Look dude, when people nowadays talk about creationism, they mean fundamentalist Christian creationism. I admit that I was kinda quick to judge your response, and, well, I *was* flat-out wrong, but apparently there's forty one people who agree with me. Because those forty one people know it's Christian creationism.
@TwoCows23 ...glad you can admit when you were wrong...but 90% of those thumbs up are from various Europeans that hate Americans and will thumb up any comment that insults Americans in anyway, trust me dude..But to say that we dont have this music in the US because of stupid southerners and christian creationists is ridiculous...Go to your local Barnes and Noble and pick up this CD.
@Daermun Hey, way to take a massive and multifaceted religion and judge it by a tiny group of wackos. By that same logic, Gaahl and all the others are hypocrites for following Norse religion because they're not out raiding English farms.
@TwoCows23 No, in actuality it's more like saying that Gaahl and the others are hypocrites because thy Do not believe in Wodan and the old gods, which is not what I said. Raiding is not a religious tenet. Your example is more like saying if you don't molest children your not catholic.
And at no point did I judge a "multifaceted religion" by any small group of wackos?
@Daermun I'm just saying bro. The majority of Christians in the world see Genesis as an allegory and not as historical fact. Only fundamentalists say it actually happened, and they're a minority everywhere.
@TwoCows23 shockingly the comment which started this where i said blame the pope not americans was a joke anyway so i really dont care lol. I just think its stupid he said blame americans for creationism when its just a bunch of morons who believe in it.
@Daermun Yeah, I getcha. Just the same, creationism is pretty much limited to the countries consisting of a whole lot of nothing wedged between coastal cities. Like Australia, South Africa, and, of course, America.
@TwoCows23 Dude lol you have this kind of "stuff"... True Americans are the Natives not you... And don't blame the Southerns because though im not a big fan of they're music i admit that is very typical...
@newjersey02 "Rap music and that Spanish music" are a kind of modern popular ethnic music. im not saying its's good bcuz alot of it is crap, but same for all genres. point: all genres are great, each in their own way
@newjersey02 I highly agree with you there...how anyone can listen to that garbage is beyond me. Plus it's a total lack of intellect in that form of "music"....this is thought provoking and intelligent.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow

The pagans/shamans/heathens of the earth should stand together against the radical Christians and Muslims, not fight amongst ourselves...We all have a common goal, do we not? The preservation of the old ways of our ancestors and the freedom to practice them without having monotheism forced upon us...right?

Twocows, you are an idiot, yes this is great music, but there are many great american bands as well. Just because our culture isn't like this doesnt make our music suck. Clearly you know nothing about music if you narrow it down to norwegian folk. Thing of the great american classical composers, how about metal bands like Between The Buried and Me or Necrophagist, how about classic rock like Led Zeppelin or ska like sublime, nope, you are narrow minded as fuck

EerieWinter 1 year ago 2
@EerieWinter
I agree. I work out west over the summers and you can truly find some solitude in nature there. Sitting in a rain forest in Alaska, listening to a salmon stream; watching the sunset from inside a mountain basin with only the people I traveled there with. It's freeing. But when I'm home... even hiking in the White Mountains I see far too many people. There aren't enough conservation lands, so everyone flocks to the few that exist in the eastern US.

Stuff like this makes me proud to be a pagan... Though I have never set foot in Norway (yet), I can feel the longing my Great-grandfather Emil must have felt when he left Lillestrøm. Someday I will go there and see his home town... perhaps if I can coax a beer or mead recipe while I'm there from a local...

@panzerveps Oh, definitely, I think Lillestrøm would just have to be my first destination to see where my Great-grandfather lived, but I'll have to stay a while and go out into the countryside. Perhaps if I have the time for it when I do go, I would like to travel around for a few months.

This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life. God didn't go to all the trouble of sending his Son merely to point an accusing finger, telling the world how bad it was. He came to help, to put the world right again. Anyone who trusts in him is acquitted; anyone who refuses to trust him has long since been under the death sentence without knowing it

@TwoCows23 Since when is creationism American. Dumb ass, try the Roman Empire (Italy) and England. There is a mass Viking population in America. Just like Italians and English. Do whatever you want in America. Just do it in your house and do not hurt anyone else. The Constitution gave the most free government ever. Norse civilization was too small and spread out to need democracy. But they were not anarchists. Odin demands order out of the chaos.

buttlord123 1 year ago
@buttlord123 Yeah, because Wikipedia actually, you know, cites its sources.
I suppose this is an argument over semantics though. Look dude, when people nowadays talk about creationism, they mean fundamentalist Christian creationism.

Because those forty one people know it's Christian creationism.
