Arkona's music has changed my life. The first time I heard it, I was on the bering sea in the dead of winter, working as a fisherman on a large trawler. I hadn't brought headphones, so I was without music for the long haul. One of my mates one day asked me if I'd heard of Arkona, to which I'd replied "No". He put the headphones over my ears and this song was halfway through. I thought it perfectly captured the spirit, the beautiful essence of the sea and the blood, sweat, and tears of the men at its mercy. Once I'd gotten off the ship and went home, I remembered this band and gave them a further listen, starting with this album. I was instantly mystified, enchanted. The way the music brought me to new depths, helping me realize the person I wanted to be with these new experiences I had. I went on to listen to every album available on UA-cam on the greyhound ride to Idaho from Seattle, and later bought every album. I think all the band members are unbelievable. I have no words to describe the passion and talent they have for their art, I'm grateful to live in such a great time! I don't know, I figured I'd just set this here where nobody will ever read it. You guys kick ass! Keep it up dude, you're changing lives out here. Hail from U.S.! 😊
You do realise this is Russian Slavic folk, don’t you? How would your mates react to your listening to a Russian folk metal? There is so much hatred towards my kind , driven by your government nowadays, that some of us do forget the difference between dirty policies of governments and us, simple people, who do have a lot of things in common. You call us communists, well, this is about 70 years of our more than 1500 year old history. Less than a breath. Your country had it’s freedom won with the support of our empress Ekatherina II. And I’m just a simple guy from Saint-Petersburg sending regards to our mates in U.S. One planet for all human beings.

i wonder if bands come to their own page and see so many ignorant comments and say " people missed it completely " Wtf with all the stupidity! Anyway, incredible band! awesome music. Simple as that !
I too am an American ( the hodge podge country)...and love the fact the Russian people with their talent and a message through musicians transcend all the particulars of culture and celebrate the realities of diversity. I 've been to Russia and believe they are a great people with such a unique way of showing powerful interpretation of art and culture.
@@user-fi3uw6hd9b , нет, мне уже не 20 )) Просто до 2019 года примерно про "Аркону" я не знал, поскольку есть в жизни дела поважнее меломанства, на которое налегал в подростковые годы.

I'm a Christian and I like this music, I enjoy learning about other cultures and I enjoy metal so why not have both? This is where Folk/Pagan Metal come in ;D
I don't quite remember all of it, as it happened back when I was 6-10 years old. But at least once a week I was taken out of the classroom along with 1-2 other kids and I was either made to do very simple repetitive work for hours on end, or I was screamed at and told that I was worthless. In class and lunch other kids were told to either ignore me or to bully me. They were given a free pass to do whatever they pleased, many times I was beat and I'd be punished for even blocking a punch.
