I can't believe it, but Skálmöld stills finds new ways to make more awesome music. What's more, they're even getting better. One of the best bands I've ever heard.
Icelanders the keepers of the lore! Expect a lot more of this. As stated several places here, we heathens we are back in the thousands not only up here, but in Spain too! Some people think you have to be from the northerlands to be a heiðingi, that's false. This is for all. We are not missionaries though
You're mixing things up. Skálmöld is not an Ásatrú band, they simply use Icelandic tradition in art. As for heathens, I'm not a fan of neo-paganism, as we know too little of the old religions to reproduce them accurately. Furthermore, I believe that ancient polytheistic religions are much more tied to culture than abrahamic religions are. Meaning I'm a bit dubious of people claiming another people's heritage. But that's just my opinion.
Well you need to understand the lyrics..... and the lore.... and the history.... Then you will understand the song, the imagery everything. Just feel it makes your blood boil! It's so great! these guys freaking rock!
The worlds pictured in this video in order of their first appearance: 0:00 (also the album cover) - Midgard 0:26 - Ásgard 1:03 - Helheim 1:31 - Múspelheim 2:01 - Jötunnheim 2:49 - Vanaheim 3:43 - Nilfheim
As a Dane growing up in Greenland, with people from both Iceland, Norway, and the Faroe Islands I find this very easy to understand. Loving it to. Hil Odin.
As a Dane growing up in Denmark, I find the lyrics of this song difficult to understand. We have forgotten so much. But I understand the soul of this song.
Even tough I don't understand Icelandic language, but the music is so amazing!! It feels like every song is telling you a story. Complete from beginning till the end. Now I feel happy that I bought their album (with iceland orchestra). Thank you Skalmold for the amzing music!!
This one is just perfect to be performed by skálmöld & sinfóníuhljómsveit íslands! What majesty and power it would bring over the listeners o.OGreat piece of music!
Yes this is a great song I love it ! But this is very strange that folks from so far places are so much into music like that and our mythology.... That is great !
Heard Skálmöld for the first time this year on Metaldays ... Must say, you guys are just awesome! Keep up the good work and your latest album is just sick! :D
Everything in this song is amazing. Can't put in words how much greatness comes from the vocals and music. Really lives up to your name. The power can be felt. Skál
We'll have to wait a while for other bands here. that's how shit goes. I just enjoy every opportunity to see nice bands live and wait patiently for bands to come :D

Icelandic is like svenska and norsk. You just have to replace the 'å' with 'Þ', 'æ' and 'ð', retrieve most of the words that come from french and english, add some 'ur' everywhere and make it a hell lot more difficult to pronounce and there you go! Almost the same I say. ;) Going there next week. Might have to play this, Sólstafir and Sigur Rós in the car the whole trip.
Saw these guys in Bucharest some years ago liv i think in the opening of AleStorm... I loved them. So professional, everything is so structured yet unpredictable. They deserve more attention yet maybe with more attention they'll turn into what Metallica has become lately... I don't know. but they are genius everything is just perfect, the drums the guitar the voices everything! go on Skalmold make more art and thank you !
Actually i belie iceland is the last nation that actually speak norse. the language of the vikings. they even got a language council to make damn sure it's a norse word for modern stuff.
while the part about the language council is true, you however can't really say that modern day icelandic is "norse" as in how the vikings spoke it. but it's still pretty close

Rauði Ulfhrafn Stop with this brotherhood shit please... It's cringey. I'm sorry that I am ruining your expectation of "family" but the vikings were respecting their kin too much to tell "brother" to someone who actually is not
TheMistrG Kristjan Lyngmo is the artist, you’ll find his page on Facebook and he’s currently selling prints of the artwork. I bought two from this album and they’re stunning. He’s got new ones out from Sorgir as well.
Well We never quit our Old Gods...I'm for example as majority here a member of the Church of Iceland so I'm Lutheran yes? ... but it doesn't stops me from praying to the Old Gods. I do not throw away Jesus Christ, but I do pray also to the Old Gods, it was always like that in my family and will be ! If I pray (not so often) It depends the reason sometimes it's Jesus sometimes other God or usually Goddess... so I don't see any problem.
I really would like to say that i do not see any problem in that, but if you realy know Jesus you should know that in bible says clearly to not pray for other gods... I like too much norse mithology but I do prefer believe in Jesus and I know we can not pray for Jesus and older gods because He don't accept this
Well it's your point of view, not mine and I do pray the God I want to pray at the moment. Old Gods are ok, Jesus Christ is a son of the God, and you can't say He doesn't accept my faith, except you're one of those who are "smarter than God Himself" and you're studying Bible to the last dot. I'm not like that. And I do respect Old Gods same as Jesus. And please let my free will alone.
I am not censuring you, I just given my opinion and sayed what is writen in bible. I think every one who trust in God and Jesus should read all the bible, but unfortunately (for me) I am not one of these. Also: You can pray tho every one who you wants to
These guys needs more attention. A powerful group
The instrumental part is amazing. The whole song is very powerful.
Yes! \m/

I understand the lyrics. Skálmöld is not pagan, they use pagan myths. Not the same thing.
If they are following ásatrú or not is not so relevat, they know the lore, the sagas everything.

ua-cam.com/video/TplbifmulaY/v-deo.html
In my opinion this song even suropases Gleipnir, my former favourite song by the band. This is just fucking perfect.
Saw Skálmöld live yesterday. The best concert I have ever been to. I only regret they didn't play this song.
Saw them play this in Reykjavik last Saturday, was amazing. I nearly cried!
So many words who are swedish too. Scandinavian. FFS we must unite as one Scandinavia. One Nation, One Folk. As we are...
I just came across this, my first time listening to them and I fell inlove
Masterpiece, both the visuals and the song!
Hi, I like SKÁLMÖLD and your collections, really cool! Hi from Russia
That instrumental is amazing.
Great song! feeling the viking power! Greets from Mexico City!
Yes this is a great song I love it ! But this is very strange that folks from so far places are so much into music like that and our mythology.... That is great !
Wow, this is great! Totally blown away...
Why didn't I know this band until now?? This is f**king amazing!
Well u know them now for 4 years, i just knows them in about 5 months and i became a big fan
And I still pray to Odin to see them here in Brazil...
Óðiiiiiiiiiinn Koooooomtu!
eu realmente não esperava achar um comentário br por aqui
Try praying to Bragi instead. He was the Norse patron god of poetry, not Odin!
You pray to Odin to see SKÁLMÖLD in Brazil, I pray to Odin to see Max Cavalera in Germany :-D
Hahaha . good answer greetings from mexico brother
I have no idea what they are saying but I love this band!! I'm a huge fan
Search lyrics and put into a translator . Very very heavy art
Chills don't need words !
The first verse according to the Google translate: "Accustomed indicator (accustomed to indicator)"
Heard Skálmöld for the first time this year on Metaldays ... Must say, you guys are just awesome! Keep up the good work and your latest album is just sick! :D

The visuals are so beautiful. This is my favorite music video
Just had a great performance in Riga! Thank you SKÁLMÖLD!
Dear UA-cam:
Why is there an ad in the middle of this?
GFY, love chicken.
Ads? You must be Saxon.
Fucking embarrassing
I can't believer it's been three years...
One of the most epic song i heard these last years. It reminds me Moonsorrow and Amon Amarth.
My new favorite band is here.
Well well, Seeing these guys live in a month :D i hope they play this. and Hel, of course.
lucky, it will be a while till they come to Canada's West
We'll have to wait a while for other bands here. that's how shit goes. I just enjoy every opportunity to see nice bands live and wait patiently for bands to come :D
yea.
Enjoy. they are very nice live.
Perfect as always.
I need shirts inspired by these visuals @.@

Vanir vísir (Vanir eru vísir)

Forynja banar ferðalang,

Hreykir sér svanur hátt á drang,

Flýgur Freyja (Flýgur yfir Freyja),

Definately After Effects.

go on Skalmold make more art and thank you !
How can it be that this band was the opening for Alestorm? Alestorm is not even worthy to be the opening for Skáldmöld.
Skalmold are trying hard to make viking-nerds learn icelandic faster.
And achieving it.
Actually i belie iceland is the last nation that actually speak norse. the language of the vikings. they even got a language council to make damn sure it's a norse word for modern stuff.
as it should be :D

The Faroe Islands too :)
can't get enough of this...
