In case anybody is wondering, the guitarist is Jørn Viggo Lofstad, best known as the lead guitarist of the Norwegian progressive metal band "Pagan's Mind".
This is the stuff that should get a ton of airplay in the states. It fits right in with the modern mainstream rock/metal sound and would be on the charts next to bands like Halestorm. It “should” be HUGE. But I guess only some of us are lucky enough to experience this side of Floor because yet again money and media have deprived a lot of people of this awesomeness.
"There is no one on this earth like Floor" You can say the same about Jörn Viggo Lofstad ( the guitar player), amazing! check out his band Pagan's Mind with the also amazing singer Nils K Rue 🤓
This is a Floor project with the Norwegian guitarist Jørn Viggo Lofstad from Pagan's Mind. This is an example of Floor's own songwriting ability. She wanted to do another style of music that she also loves. The more aggressive hard rock type of song. This allows her to sing a more traditional vocal style in mostly full chest voice. Great job Wolf Hunterz! As usual. Peace.
Evertime I watch this video I can't help but think .. "This is the way a Valkyrie looks alongside a regular human" .. she simply has left her shield and boar spear in the green room
Floor has said in many interviews, that one of her favorite vocalists is Lzzy Hale. This side project has a distinct Halestorm feel to it. The whole CD is badass!
Drifting islands from the same album. It's a duet with her sister Irene. They always sound good together. In an interview floor said that even her parents didn't hear the difference lol.
Northward is a 2 band baby that was born,when Floor Jansen from Nightwish wanted to collab with Jørn Viggo Lofstad (pronounced Jurn Viggo) from Pagan`s Mind. Floor is of course Dutch,but lives on a big farm in Sweden now, "Jurn" Viggo is from Norway.....therefor Northward. (2 of the Nordic countries represented in a way) He accepted right there on the spot.....who wouldnt grab a opportunity to work with Floor? It is said that this duo is the most successfull one out of all the sideprojects,and there has even been said they are planning a second album (yes they got an entire album with kickass songs!),once everything settles down with covid19,and Floor gets to fulfill her duties with Nightwish first. Northward came to life around the time where every band member had some time off,so they all did separate things. It allways makes my day whenever someone reacts to "Jurn" Viggo and Floor,as i do try to make people more aware of Pagan`s Mind too. A highly underrated metal band,with soo much extreme talent and a international sound. I might just tip you 2 off in a handful of songs by Pagan`s Mind,so you fully understand why Floor wanted this collab. Im that passionate about theese guys,they have worked hard for years allready trying to get that breakthrough. "Jurn" Viggo is an absolute guitar wizard,and theyr lead vocalist Nils knows how to blow you away too. Northward - Let Me Out is another favourite of mine,it is on YT but doesnt have a official video,or a live recording (yet) They do have a official lyric video for Northward-Storm In A Glass. Wich is very different from While Love Died,but still a rock n roll type of song.
@@ChrisPage68 Hey buddy! Yeah times have changed i think,i just wrote what i heard talks of awhile back. But as time has moved forward,it looks more and more like a solo album happens next. But i get this genuine feeling that Northward is not a dead project. Floor celebrated theyr anniversary on Twitter last November,so there is defintly still stuff there. I just love to hear Jørn Viggo accompany Floors voice,so i will continue to hope :) Maybe he contributes on her solo album,who knows.
This is insane but also very funny. Floor is a master of vocals but she's always been a master of funny faces too. Skin ( Deborah Dyer) from the band Skunk Anansie is one of her favorite vocalists, so there we can hear some influences. Great catch!
More great stuff, but I want to recommend the new Jinjer video that dropped this week. It’s all Tatiana killing it in one take. Jinjer - Judgement (& Punishment) - Tatiana Shmayluk - One Take Vocal Performance.
The whole Northward album is KILLER!!!! Go Check out the guitarist's main band Pagan's Mind; simply AMAZING prog metal majesty. They have 5 full albums to wet your whistle on.
Yes, this one’s awesome 😎 Do yourselves a favor and check out Drifting Islands from this album to hear a duet between Floor and her sister Irene 😉 Actually, the whole thing rocks, but I recommend Big Boy, Timebomb, I need, and the title track Northwards 👍 Have a fantastic day 🤘😎
ur boy Mr.Von Cleveland was reacting this, some while go all ready =:D, but am glad u guys cathing up this one too ps: if u wanna react that guitarist own band, am suggest this example: Pagan's Mind - Through Osiris' Eyes (Full Circle live)
Its a good album, I had this very track playing this afternoon while on my MC Glad you liked it, but how could you not like anything with Floor in it anyway :) Thanks for the reaction.
Always love these side projects and Floor is the best..So maybe you could react to the new Ayreon video featuring Simone Simmons just out..Thanks..Ayreon - This Human Equation (Official Lyric Video)
Hey, you guys should definitely check out Tina setkic dragon force through the fire and the flames cover at 15 years old awesome awesome thanks 😊🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hi from the uk check out Soilwork let this river flow with floor jansen Evergreay in orbit with floor jansen Delan a day for ghosts live pro shot Broerenkert ft floor and macro Floor and irene jansen who i am live at p60 Netherlands (2007)
*Now it's time for some more Nightwish.....I would take everything from any Nightwish-era.....try "Wish I Had An Angel"(Live), "The Riddler", "Wishmaster"(Live) and "Walking In The Air"(Live) [Tarja] , "Bye-Bye Beautiful" and "Amaranth" [Anette], "Sacrament Of Wilderness"(Live), "Music" and "Tribal" [Floor]....*
Floor & Jorn did a great job with this song & the video - it’s catchy isn’t it!
In case anybody is wondering, the guitarist is Jørn Viggo Lofstad, best known as the lead guitarist of the Norwegian progressive metal band "Pagan's Mind".
Led by the great Nils K. Rue!
@@ChrisPage68 Yes, he can deliver amazing vocals.
@@ChrisPage68 he is great. Discovered him trough Ayeron :)
The intro riff reminds me of U2's "Vertigo".
For some reason, I've never checked Pagan's Mind out, but I really liked Lofstad's performance in this song. That solo is an explosion of sound 🤘
Floor wrote these songs in 07, 08 with this guitarist. Didn’t complete the project and release the cd until 18 I think.
NW took 2017 off and she called Jørn "You know that project we have in limbo? I got the time, lets record it!"
Love the facial expressions Floor is making. Especially the eye popping and the crunchy face. ;-)
She does great Scary Face. 😱👹
Especially the 'Hch Hch!' ^^ Great song btw.
Love anything Floor does.

It's a banger of a song and you're right.
There's no one else on earth like Floor!
The guitar was great in that song as well.
"Hardcore Kelly Clarkson" LOOOOOOOL loved that description!
You guys are so down to earth. Your chemistry is a major reason I'm a fan. And your singing.
Love anything Jorn Lofstad does.. you here when it’s him🤘🏼epic
I love the solo at the end. Great tone and power.
Directed by Ville Lipiäinen once again. He is "the Nightwish director"
He also directed Life Sonata Arctica
@@NeeceLoneWolf Not surprised, thanks for the info!🇫🇮
@@NeeceLoneWolf And various videos for Poets Of The Fall.
Check out Pagan's Mind - Full Circle and be even more amazed by this amazing guitarist.

this woman can do EVERYTHING PERFECT.
Thanks for doing this one!!! Northward needs more love!! Also see After Forever and Revamp floors previous bands to Nightwish.
Floor has said in many interviews, that one of her favorite vocalists is Lzzy Hale. This side project has a distinct Halestorm feel to it. The whole CD is badass!
One of the best rock songs in 21century. Sorry my english.
1 st comment woohoo... love you guys keep going. Floor kicks *ss here. nice to see her in a different sort of style. Guitar player good.
Drifting Islands by Northward!
It's a song from the same album. I think that Floor's sister sings in that song too.
You guys are goofy AF. I love you guys so much.
Imagine Floor singing this ft. Lizzy Hale... ❤️❤️👌👌
I'll pay for that duet
And she makes Julian fries.. YOU ROCK!!!!!!!
Drifting islands from the same album. It's a duet with her sister Irene. They always sound good together. In an interview floor said that even her parents didn't hear the difference lol.
I thought this was one of your better reactions. Loved the genuineness of it. Ghost Love Score, then this. Keep it real.👍👍

In the interim, Floor's putting together what sounds like a solo album.

this track is a straight banger! i love it :)
The mighty Jorn Viggo Lifstad, from Pagans Mind on guitar.
My GOD 🤘🏼jorn rules
That whole CD rocks ass.
This is insane but also very funny. Floor is a master of vocals but she's always been a master of funny faces too. Skin ( Deborah Dyer) from the band Skunk Anansie is one of her favorite vocalists, so there we can hear some influences. Great catch!

Kelly couldn't compete with Floor.. 😉
In all fairness...nobody can lol.
@@MKEbcl Yep. 😉
This song is so catchy! By the way I love you guys 😂
Dead By April - Losing You
Have you listened to After Forever/Floor Energise Me and their cover of Hearts Alone.
Its a good album, I had this very track playing this afternoon while on my MC Glad you liked it, but how could you not like anything with Floor in it anyway :) Thanks for the reaction.
Sounds a bit like Hanna Pakarinen's style, song: Go Go. But more intense, of course! :)
floors famous fur vest
Always love these side projects and Floor is the best..So maybe you could react to the new Ayreon video featuring Simone Simmons just out..Thanks..Ayreon - This Human Equation (Official Lyric Video)
War Child is a lucky man.
Hey, you guys should definitely check out Tina setkic dragon force through the fire and the flames cover at 15 years old awesome awesome thanks 😊🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Slayer-angel of death.
Speaking of Kelly Clarkson, imagine her and Floor doing a duet together.
This is a little Halestorm ish? Yeah?
