@ i think that these music sound's touchy because instruments sounds very raw, not perfect and at the same moment very natural, not like modern instruments
I think this will be a contender for best music at all the game awards this year. Sarah and Jesper are an awesome tag team enough, but alongside the Viking demigod Einar Selvik? Winners for this year for sure!
but what about danheim and heilung, gealdyr or runfell ? :( dont get me wrong einar selvik is awesome but the others i know too, they also deserve to be shown :(
I know he's a pagan, but from his own words: Einar Selvik is an adherent of modern Paganism characterized by animism. In a 2017 interview with Morgenbladet, he talked about his worldview: "I am a strong supporter of individual responsibility. No one died for my sins. This is a slightly pagan body of thought: the gods help those who help themselves. It mirrors that you are your own god, that it is your responsibility how you behave, what you contribute in this world." I love Wardruna. He & Lindy's voices are gifts from Odin - giving us his son Bragi in Einar's music. 🖤🎶🐺🛡⚔🦅🏹
I don't think he can top his Ragnar Lothbrok theme...but I feel this soundtrack will come pretty close to it! I can't stop listening to this one! So powerful, vivid...it stimulates the senses like no other music track could in my opinion.
I swear bringing Einar Selvik in to make the soundtrack is the greatest choice they have ever done. This game is gonna have one of the best Soundtracks ever.
Gotta admit, before Ubisoft shared soundtrack details i was really disappointed with trailer music. My exact thoughts were "Dude you're making a viking themed AC and not working with Wardruna?" but there it is, dream coming true :D Well done Einar!!
@@creedexxi9004 My favorite of their songs! Would love Helvegen in AC. If not, I'll just play it while I play. I did something similar when I put on the viking outfit and wielded the axe in AC Rogue while killing civilians.
@@NPC-ej4ql i already watched the gameplay and it was far better than i imagined and especially with Einar selvik the game is even greater, a game that is about vikings culture and history for me is all but a masterpiece !
@@meruin1612 Yeah, cool. People like you keep calling almost any upcoming game a masterpiece after watching a few ingame scenes, but later on, when the game's actually released, they throw shit at the developer on Metacritic, UA-cam and other platforms, because "it's not what I expected". Been there before, next.
I as a Scandinavian always appreciate when foreigners come to appreciate our ancient history and desire to preserve and enjoy it. Me, like most of my fellow citizens and neighbor countries dont really care super much about things like that, except for a few historians and architects, so for it to reach global attention and acclaim, and so many people from all around loving our history sometimes more than their own, really puts my mind at ease that it wont just fade into oblivion anytime soon.
Well, I think most nordic peeps feel proud of having such spiritual and fierce ancestors so saying that most don't care is kind of a ridiculous thing to say.
@@anton8694 If youve spent any amount of time in Scandinavia, youll realise that is the case. For us, our history is just "there" if you get what i mean. Plus, old-norse culture has little to do with modern Scandinavian culture so i think youll find better conversation talking with Swedes about the Caroleans for example. Scandinavians are no different from the rest of the world. We enjoy music, videogames, movies etc. Not every Scandinavian is obsessed with Vikings, just as not every American is obsessed with Cowboys.
I guess you can consider me an exception, since i enjoy looking for old runes around my house, look up different facts and events, and me being a history-nerd in general. But that is of course an exception.
I love Jesper Kyd he gave us the best music for Assassins Creed included Ezio's Family the main theme of the franchise , and I love Sarah Schachner because of the amazing music of Assassins Creed Origins.... but lets be honest, Einar Selvik will be the heart in this soundtrack
As if Assassin's Creed couldn't get any better, I've love Wardruna for a long time and had no idea Einar had anything to do with the soundtrack until I started playing the game today, what a most pleasant surprise.
I remember when i first found out about ac valhalla. I was chilling out at a friend's house. While we were watching the trailer, i just heard Einar singing "voluspa" in my head the whole time. After it was over, i turned to my friend, and said "i hope they're smart enough to get Einar Selvik to do the soundtrack". And then, months later, Einar announced that he'd be working on the game. Well done, ubisoft.
The fact that Einar is in this game makes me want to play it even more. I hope Danheim and Heilung get contacted to add some additional songs to it. They're both awesome and both have their own spin on viking songs as well.
I've been a fan of Wardruna for a while and a fan of Assassin's Creed for even longer, so when I heard Einar Selvik was going to play a part in the soundtrack of the new game I was beyond excited. This man is absolutely amazing at what he does.
When I heard Einar was going to be a part of this project, I knew then that I would have to buy this soundtrack. This track only confirms what I already knew I have to do. Much love !
I discovered Einar and Wardruna through the show Vikings and finding out Einar did the music for Assassin's Creed Valhalla, just makes me want to play this game even more
Haunting and so so beautiful ♥️ Just watched Eimear Noone be the conductor for this/ a full orchestra playing this on TV and got goosebumps ♡ Genius all round.
I always like AC music they out a lot of time and use orchestras but this is by far my favorite sound track for any AC this is just good quality composed music
Welcome here AC Valhalla players , I come from the past , If you are here it means you discovered this amazing artist called Einar Selvik , good luck on your path .
No need to play Norse music during the slaughter of civilians in AC Rogue, while wearing the Viking outfit and wielding an axe, anymore. Now I can do it in a game from my favorite video game franchise that's specifically about my favorite mythology while listening to my favorite band, Wardruna. 2020 will definitely end spectacularly for me. Hopefully.
Love the music! As a Swede this feels very authentic, and yes I know they're norweigan. I'm very suprised there's not some douche complaining about the lack of stealth in Valhalla. Like play the first one and do your "stealth".
Ladies and gentlemen, we have the best game soundtrack of this decade
*Witcher 3 and Skyrim*
"hold our redanian vodka and nord mead"
So lets tell that these period /age (idk how to call it in english) games have in general specific and touchy soundtracks
@ i think that these music sound's touchy because instruments sounds very raw, not perfect and at the same moment very natural, not like modern instruments
I think this will be a contender for best music at all the game awards this year. Sarah and Jesper are an awesome tag team enough, but alongside the Viking demigod Einar Selvik?
Winners for this year for sure!
I think the new soundtracks of the decade now is ac valhalla
I almost envy those who would discover Einar/Wardruna because of new Assassin's Creed, such an amazing music awaits them.
i am envious of us in total , honestly nobody deserves his music
I'm excited for them, thinking of the musical journey that they will go on. :)
@@TheCelticKT well they as "Wardruna " are releasing a new album soon so you'll be able to listen in ;)
Lol, kinda wish I could be reintroduce to them.
I'm just very happy we'll be getting a great soundtrack with his collaboration. This year has been great for video game soundtracks.
It's pretty nice you get free game with this album
😂😂😂
couldnt find a better person than einar selvik for a nordic soundtrack♥️
YES !!!
I was extremely excited when I heard Ubisoft was going to work with him
but what about danheim and heilung, gealdyr or runfell ? :( dont get me wrong einar selvik is awesome but the others i know too, they also deserve to be shown :(
@@AnajutheKhajiit Heilung can be heard in the new Hellblade trailer
@@AndranikMuse I know but still its a bit rude to keep one only going ;/
Einar is some kind of pagan saint.
he's pagan if I remember right.
D Klaus Your sentence makes no sence...
Read in the Lyfjaberg comment section that some believe that Einar is Bragi,the Norse god of poetry,reincarnated.
possibly, so?
I know he's a pagan, but from his own words:
Einar Selvik is an adherent of modern Paganism characterized by animism. In a 2017 interview with Morgenbladet, he talked about his worldview: "I am a strong supporter of individual responsibility. No one died for my sins. This is a slightly pagan body of thought: the gods help those who help themselves.

I love Wardruna. He & Lindy's voices are gifts from Odin - giving us his son Bragi in Einar's music.
🖤🎶🐺🛡⚔🦅🏹
Hype is real. But imagine Einar being an NPC in the game, playing war chants. That would have been epic on another level.
That would be something else. Maybe even a Easter egg somewhere
Or the Guy on your boat that leads the singing.
@@Ryan23332 that is exacly how it is in game xd, he also does the poetry on the ships
Einar had multiple cameo in Vikings in which he is doing some war chants.
He is, he's the head skald on Eivor's longship. Sings and tells stories.
Imagine doing Ragnar Lothbrok theme and now this, Einar is a legend
I don't think he can top his Ragnar Lothbrok theme...but I feel this soundtrack will come pretty close to it!
I can't stop listening to this one! So powerful, vivid...it stimulates the senses like no other music track could in my opinion.
Einar is everywhere dude
Vikings
League Of Legends
Assassin's Creed
awesome
You really going to leave out The Last Kingdom, especially since the game and The Last Kingdom share an actor?
@@ConnorEllisMusic i didn't knew tbh
never watched the show
lol
Wait what? Also LoL? How didn't I find it out??

Duuuude exactly! Like if you think Norse music automatically you think of Wardruna...just wished they'd use songs like helvegen as a sea shantie
@@creedexxi9004 or use "Rotlaust Tre Fell" during a raid fight!
@@ecemdmr YES! Especially the ending chant. I have that memorized.
@@creedexxi9004 My favorite of their songs! Would love Helvegen in AC. If not, I'll just play it while I play. I did something similar when I put on the viking outfit and wielded the axe in AC Rogue while killing civilians.
@@meganlodon the immersion lol I didn't like that outfit in rogue tho
This is so beautiful that it's even heartbreaking for me I cannot live in those times, amazing heroic times of our European history.
A masterpiece game cannot be completed without a masterpiece singer, I can't wait to play the game alongside Einar's voice.
Did you play the whole game already or why do you call it a masterpiece?
@Josh Yates Yeah, nitpicking. That's not what he said, actually.

Beautiful track. Einar never disappoints.
Had high hopes for this from Einar.... Am not disappointed, it is STUNNING.
tHeY hAd uS iN tHe fIrSt hALf, nOt gOnNa LiE.
Based on this I think 50% of peoples time in the game is going to be standing around in the landscape somewhere listening to the music. Can't wait! :D
I do this with Black Flag and its sea shanties, cant wait to do it again.
Yeah I take the scenic route and smoke 😂
I fell asleep listening
i do it when am high x)
This is the best one they’ve released so far... my god this soundtrack is going to be phenomenal.
I love Jesper Kyd he gave us the best music for Assassins Creed included Ezio's Family the main theme of the franchise , and I love Sarah Schachner because of the amazing music of Assassins Creed Origins.... but lets be honest, Einar Selvik will be the heart in this soundtrack

God of War got Eivor, Assasin's Creed got Einar.They sure know what they're doing.
It would be very cool if Eivor make ost with Einar and Aurora)
You're missing one other game there friend
@@evalunanera6157 A thousand times yes.
Hellblade 2 got Heilung as well

i love Einar's voice, is magic...!!
Greetings from Greece
I was so happy when they announced Einar for the game I was the most hyped about for years.
So glad they brought Einar on, it just wouldn't be complete without him.
The gods surely speak through him.
Einar is the best musician in the history of mankind! God i love his music. Its like he is the incarnation of Bragi!!
The fact that Einar is in this game makes me want to play it even more. I hope Danheim and Heilung get contacted to add some additional songs to it. They're both awesome and both have their own spin on viking songs as well.
The gods from Asgaard arent dead. The god of music and lore is alive and well. Hail Einar!!
I have loved Einar & Wardruna for years now, and I so hoped AC Valhalla would feature their music. And by Odin, this is so awesome!
This is so epic! One of the best game series with the most impressive soundtrack, and now Einar with it! I just adore!
As soon as I saw him shown on the music team for this game my hype exploded and I got a huge smile well done Einar again :)
The soundtrack will be my reason for getting this game.
I've been a fan of Wardruna for a while and a fan of Assassin's Creed for even longer, so when I heard Einar Selvik was going to play a part in the soundtrack of the new game I was beyond excited. This man is absolutely amazing at what he does.
I was sold at the first listen. Einar is a genius.
"You Vikings are incorrigible. You emerge from the womb with only one thing on your mind… how to die."
king ecbert, one of the best characters in the show!
@@teirovi7856 I'm thinking the exact same thing, King Ecbert is a very very deep character in the show.
Björn, Ivar, Ragnar, Rollo, Floki, Athelstan, Ecberth, Aethelwulf... etc
So many good characters.
Everyone's thirsty for death.
They think of how their name and legacy will cary on before going to Valhalla, great show now a great game
When I heard Einar was going to be a part of this project, I knew then that I would have to buy this soundtrack. This track only confirms what I already knew I have to do. Much love !
There are no words to describe how much I adore this music... I feel the game would not be whole without Einar's art!
A match worthy of Valhalla! Perfect!
This is magical...as always
AC Valhalla is quickly making leaps in becoming the game of the year with the best soundtracks. WOWWWWWWW
I discovered Einar and Wardruna through the show Vikings and finding out Einar did the music for Assassin's Creed Valhalla, just makes me want to play this game even more
This game is going to have such good music, potentially the best we've had yet in the franchise.
This song and the " viking vibe" makes me want vahalla a standalone franchise focus only in vikings and their cultures ❤
Haunting and so so beautiful ♥️ Just watched Eimear Noone be the conductor for this/ a full orchestra playing this on TV and got goosebumps ♡ Genius all round.
Another amazing track!
I love Wardruna 😍❤
I'm so happy that Einar sings for ACV ❤
thanks Einar, from the bottom of my heart!
Feel so amazing with a good headset
this song already called the best of the best of mankind millenium and its beyond the decade valhalla calling me after the words of raven
Вот это кайф, Эйнар как всегда на высоте!
Niesamowity utwór, zamykam oczy i odpływam...
I can't wait to see Ubisoft presents: Assassin's Creed Valhalla with this song in the background
Sounds amazing!!!
very compatible when studying :D
this is simply amazing wow bravo
What a beautiful track. Wow. Sounds soooo goood.
Cant wait for this game!
Best soundtrack for a videogame!
Awesome song! From Georgia with love!

@@cullengal1992 no pls let that be a side music
Amazing.
the best, as always
My favourite singer 🤙 and im from Australia 🤙
Amazing Soundtrack!
Let’s not forget about the contributions of Dr. Jackson Crawford in regards to the Runes & Norse language used in the game. He’s here on UA-cam.
Has he worked on any shows, such as Vikings, The Last Kingdom, etc?
celestially ... deep in the heart ...
Einar is certainly a norse god that decided to live here in Midgard, and this powerful soundtrack is the proof of his godness
I always like AC music they out a lot of time and use orchestras but this is by far my favorite sound track for any AC this is just good quality composed music
You'd expect a show like Vikings or the Last Kingdom to had such a good song! It's truly amazing! I'd expect nothing less from AC soundtracks!

Tout est réuni dans assassin's creed Valhalla pour que je l'achète, univers vikings puis Einar ( wardruna) rien d'autre à ajouter
i fking need to see more viking themed games please with such awesome music!!!
It's really similar to a song named "Raido" by Einar him self.
No need to play Norse music during the slaughter of civilians in AC Rogue, while wearing the Viking outfit and wielding an axe, anymore.
Now I can do it in a game from my favorite video game franchise that's specifically about my favorite mythology while listening to my favorite band, Wardruna.

Una obra maestra
