@awesomeakki17 That depends on which runic alphabet you are referring to. The eldest, "The Elder Futhark", is the basis of the alphabet for many languages. The runic alphabet still influences us today, such as the current English alphabet and several others.
niice. ive been looking more more bands like this. anyone know of anymore? Apocolyptica, Therion, and nightwish. (from what ive read here). any more bands you guys could advise to listening that are like this?
Yeah, I know what you reffer; I know the first works of Nightwish and those was with lyrics about history, and literature; even in Dark Passion Play Tuomas wrote some songs about that like "The Poet and the Pendulum".. However the point is that Therion and Nightwish are pretty different.
