Jotunheimen is a mountain range located in the heart of Norway. In English it means "The home of the Giants". The snow never melts here, and the peaks are the tallest in Scandinavia.
Australia Isn’t reAl What he means is that there is a Mountain Ranged named Jotunheimen. It’s a national park. Named after the Giants. I can see how you’d think he said Jotunheim
Men takk for at folk og samfunn misbruker Moderjord og ikke bryr seg om henne, det er ikke lenge før snøen smelter, vi må beskytte Norden og Jorden så lenge vi er dyr på denne planeten, fred og kjærlighet fra en svensk hippie
Science! If a giant did exist, their vocal chords would be much larger. In result their voice would be so low it almost wouldn't be audible to human ears. The random snippets of deep giant voice in this video is accurate to what it may sound like. Well done sir
Science? Whose Science? Why to judge any world by standards that have gone before? World this or any. To their own rules they follow. Open the mind. There is more out there, than any to guess. Adrian the Wizard inventor!!!
hmm isn't it similar with the humpback whales? they can have pretty deep voices that ya think would boom loudly but you need machines in order to hear their singing depending on the tones and pitch of their song. Sure you can hear them in general but even they have pitches that make it difficult for the human ear to hear. I would like to say the same with the giants but there is always the possibly of me being incorrect. Perhaps it all depends on tone and the sonic perception range that differs from human to giant since we both have our own pitches as well. Ive heard certain singers that can sing in a very deep voice and they got quieter the deeper they went.
According to Norse Mythology, the Jotnar, or Giants, were the dark equals of the gods, linked to Loki the trickster god and frequently trolled the Aesir. A far cry from the giants you find in today's fantasy, these were powerful badasses who not only could stomp around and crush things, but were super intelligent and pulled all sorts of magical stunts. Cool stuff.
Also it's not accurate to call them *Giants* when most Joutens were the same size as regular men and gods. There were some that were Giants but not all of them.
"Oh, then you've come to the wrong place, little brother. The highest peak in all the realms is not here in Midgard. it's in Jotunheim, realm of the Giants." - Mimir
It has a dark and moody atmosphere that I would expect the Jotuns to have, all cooped up in the mountains of Jotunheim and brooding on the death of Ymir and their other clashes with the AEsir.
This is exactly what I was needing to hear at exactly the right time. I don't know how you do it Adrian. So dark, and yet so serene all at the same time. I can picture the Viking's tales coming to life in my mind. It definitely makes me feel.
I have absolutely no difficulty seeing the Jötnar (plural of Jötun heheh) in this song. It just has captured the full spirit of Norse mythology and tales. Very beautiful song. Adrian, you are a wonderful composer.
I did an essay on Norse Mythology so I already knew the pronunciation of Jötunheimr and for a little poem: Lurking from the boggy marshes, high mountains and places of cold and fog, Tearing the world in their hellish wrath. Let all heroes know the name of the fierce Jötun, The true sons of fury.
One great dark forest, the corners of which seep between the different realms of truth. Tall, dark, and ominous pines that beckon and sway in the whistling wind, with thick, sturdy roots that anchor the land to the frozen earth, with branches seen from many realms... Music that spirits children away in the night, to lands yet unseen by men. They return in the morning, with tales both great and fearful, telling how they've ruled the frozen wastes of the North, battled eldritch creatures and danced with graceful elms. Parents that scoff and confiscate 'Narnia,' but here is where Adrian's music takes us.
This is exactly how I see and hear Jotunheimr. In this song, you can feel clearly the dark mystery mixed with some chaotic magic. The Jotuns are smart, wise, fast, kind... Considered monsters but yet magicians. Nice work.
The misty forest gave a sense of foreboding, that the warrior could not disagree with. But, he was a Viking; he would not run just because of the tales women tell while at the spindle. He removed his helmet, setting it down in front of him and drew his sword and a rag, wiping off the dark ichors of the last fight. Thump. He heard it, looking up. It was a loud sound, as if a tree fell in the distance. He quietly returned to work on his blade, hand gripping the hilt tightening. CRACK! He heard the splintering of a great oak. Closer. He stood, placing his helmet on as a dark shape towered over him in the mist, it was massive, at least as tall as a house. Two piercing white eyes illuminated the fog, watching him. “Norseman...” It rumbled. “These woods are not your place.” “I shall not be cowed with words!” He declared back, sword in hand, “A brave one too...” The giant mused, cocking it's head. “And meat. There is good meat on you...” It crouched down to get a better look, gripping a tree, the wood straining under it's crushing grip. “What brings you to this cursed wood?” The viking weighed his odds. He had the arrow wounds from the last fight, his shield had been smashed, and his body ached. He smiled grimly. “Victory, or Valhalla.”
Thank you again Adrian...and last time. "He" is back, and nothing else matter from now until end. Thank you for keeping the cage closed for so long, it's time for me to rest, but this time I won't let him be free. I can't. Thank you for all the rest of humanity I have left, these were the only 143-worth reasons to face "Him" for so long. Be safe dear mate, even you don't understand nothing in this letter, that's okay. This is only my "memorial". Dziękuje K.R
This is by far one of my favorites out of all your songs. It sounds so different from the others (a lot of your Celtic songs sound very similar to each other). And I don't even have to try to imagine a world of cold, filled with towering giants. The scene just comes to my mind as I listen. Truly amazing job with this song, it just stands out.
Wie immer großartige Musik! Deine Musik schafft es immer, uns in die Fantasie-Welt zu entführen und uns aus "dieser Welt" auszuklinken. Diese Kunst ist sehr bedeutsam :) Ich wünsche dir Großes!!
this was so cool, I like the beginning of it with the sound effect of the mysterious sound of what sounds like something where a warrior would go after it, then the build up where there be some sort of confrontation.
I read an article recently because I wanted to know who would have won between the Vikings and the Spartans. It said that while both were fierce warriors, the spartans rigid battle style would ultimately be their undoing, whereas vikings who were used to travelling all over the known world, adapted their strategies according to where they were fighting and were much more able to think on their feet. Basically, Vikings rule. Just saying.
@@JixieDyeAuthor Just because Vikings used to travel around and known for adapting different strategies doesn't mean they can beat Spartan... In hand to hand combat or shield fight... No Vikings is match for a Spartan.
If you all like Norse mythology (many of the comments made me think so!) I would suggest "Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard" by Rick Riordan. It is a really good fictional book with a lot of historical fact in the sense of keeping true to Norse mythology. Adrian, I love your music. It is what I listen to most often to study. :)
I've been reading Ranger's Apprentice book series and this is perfect music to listen to while reading it. I always listen to your music when I read the books. It adds to the feeling and mood of the scenes in the books. Thank you Adrian for making such beautiful pieces of music for all of us to listen to and enjoy.
Gaahh, this one is amazing - I've been looking forward to my next Viking fix from you :D I know Jotunheimr and how to pronounce it, except for the fact that I haven't seen it spelt with an R on the end before - I guess Jotunheim must just be the anglicized equivalent :S.
Killed Christians for their wealth, but converted for power in the new European Christian world. and no samurai weren't better. Vikings explored and pillaged many lands around the world, the samurai could get their own island under control. Plus Valhalla is just awesome.
Jakob James And what cuz of that ? that s mean nothing, Vikings had bad weapons and probably worst training than samurais, and they had katana , u can t say that Samurais was worst, katana could get through the steel, they had better black smiths....
What a piece of art... It seems your imagination has no limits. You have the great power to show us so many different landscapes. I feel so much better now, thank you !
With your music, I can write on and on without stopping a lot. It's like the story is writing itself. But without your music, it's boring and harder. Thankyou :)
It's for an upcoming album so it's not available yet. I'm making a full-length album with Viking music only, this is the 3rd song I have finished for it. So it will take a long time before the album will be done and released, I need to make around 10 more songs.
AdrianvonZiegler I am unable to reply to you on other posts on other videos, but I'm an aspiring writer for computer video games and would like to use your existing music or work with you on new ones sometime in the future...
Viveqa Rosengren I've read a lot of viking themed books and had to guess on pronunciation. Thanks for the input of a native speaker. I thought the ending r was pronounced when present?
Nurk0m0rath -er, --ar, -or are pronounced when present (in Swedish) and are plurals if used whit a noun. I´m not 100% sure, butis is how I have heard Jötunheimr being pronounced (by modern people).
I think this song is my favorite so far. So powerful. It would be amazing if you did the other realms as well. I think your take on Niðavellir and Helheimr/Niflheimr in particular would be incredible to listen to!
Booooyaaaaa! From Scotland with love! Awesome Adrian! Been a fan for a long time now, especially the Celtic and Viking music, keep up the brilliance friend!
Aren't the horned helmets a romantic Victorian rewrite of the Norse rapists and butchers? I say rapists and butchers with all due respect as my Great Grandmother was from Norway
+Dennis Cat Yepp. They didn't have horned helmets, although there is some indication that they may have used horned helmets in rituals, but definitely not for battle.^^ The picture here is actually a fan artwork from Skyrim, so don't take the image too serious. xD
+Dennis Cat Nope they didn't wear horned helmets, actually the berserkers might have there is some work that suggests that some of them may have, but the regular ones no they just wore regular helmets.
+Dennis Cat One should always look at what came before all of the wars. Norse pagans were peaceful and only became defensive when new values were being introduced by force and the ancestral ways of life were threatened. This happened all over the world. For example, the Ashanti culture of West Africa was a Goddess centered culture and was therefore peaceful, before they were forced to arm themselves to defend against colonial troops and the missionaries.The same can be said of the Native Americans and the Aborigines. The Goddesses of pagan spirituality also went through 'changes' over time, as the warrior cults became dominant in the world. Some were incorporated into new, all-male pagan pantheons, while others such as Medusa for example, were demonized or cast out, much the same way as Loki and Hel were by the monks who re-wrote the legends. History can be read in many ways, and the rarest is the truth, as it is always written in the eye of the beholder. Therefore, Vikings became known as 'pirates' when they attacked Churches and pillaged monasteries, as in fact it was the Christians who had dispossessed pagans in the first place. Drake became a 'pirate' in the eyes of the Catholic Church, because he plundered all of their slaver's outposts and the new colonies in the Americas. It is hard to call any side in a war, the 'good' or 'evil' side of it, yet the facts are simple and that is that before all of the wars , there was only the love of the Goddess and God of Nature. It doesn't help any to generalize and infer that all pagans from the Northern lands are as you say, rapists and butchers. What other proofs do you have of the Norse being such folk?
jötunheim, home of the giants of ice and one of the nine worlds. bound by the tree of yggdrasil. other worlds are known to be midgard (earth) asgard (home of the gods) niflheim (world of the mist and hel) vanaheimr (home of the vanir) i think this song really does connect to the germanic and viking legends. it is strong and it is exactly how they felt about these worlds.
I hate UA-cam. See a comment, just to realise i didn't see the three hundred previous ones. To any I might have offended... I agree, this is NOT fantasy music. -Not related to LOTR or anything reminicing to that. -This is music fully composed and created by people that have a sense for roots....
It may be of interest (if you don't know already) that there is a mountain range in Norway that bears this name (Jotunheimen in New Norse). The name derives indeed from the name of the giant`s world. Side note: I am currently writing a fantasy novel about Svartalfheimr. If I ever make a book trailer I will come back to you for the background music.
Growing up I learnt more about jötunheimr, Asgard and Midgard that any other of the Viking worlds (Niflheim,svartalheim,aflheimr,muspeltheimr and Vanaheimr)
I pictured a whole bunch of Jotuns being all brooding, and the story of when Thor and Loki and Thor's servants fought Utgard-Loki. And then I pictured the creepy parts of HTTYD. And Stoick's amazing brooding eyebrows. So, yeah, this song is pretty awesome.
Jotunheimen is a mountain range located in the heart of Norway. In English it means "The home of the Giants". The snow never melts here, and the peaks are the tallest in Scandinavia.
Interesting, thanks for sharing.
Jotunheim is the realm of the giants in Norse mythology, not located in what they call midgard

Thank you! I haven't seen anyone pick up that detail before, that was exactly my thoughts behind it when I recorded my voice.
Science? Whose Science? Why to judge any world by standards that have gone before? World this or any. To their own rules they follow. Open the mind. There is more out there, than any to guess. Adrian the Wizard inventor!!!
so this is a pretty much accurate way of what a giant could sound like? LOVE IT XD
That sounds pretty cool. Out of curiosity, how does that work? Like, I would think that larger vocal cords would mean a loud, booming voice.

And there were fire and frost giants as well, also teo more worlds where they lived: a world of ice and on of fire
Not all giants were huge either.
And you jus had to put it out there 🤓🤓
The kind of giants I like writing about.
Also it's not accurate to call them *Giants* when most Joutens were the same size as regular men and gods. There were some that were Giants but not all of them.
I listened to this while walking across the Jotunheim a few days ago. I'd say it fit pretty well.
Background music for anything Good qestion :D

У меня мурашки по телу идут когда я слышу это, очень высокочастотная музыка
When Im listening to this and I close my eyes I can just picture myself back in Viking times in Scandinavia. Chilling. Awesome music man.
I did an essay on Norse Mythology so I already knew the pronunciation of Jötunheimr and for a little poem:
Lurking from the boggy marshes, high mountains and places of cold and fog,
Tearing the world in their hellish wrath.
Let all heroes know the name of the fierce Jötun,

The sound of blizzard fits perfectly! I love the ambiance of your compositions, Adrian! :)

Thanks!
Troy Nelson This is a really cool story.
Thank you.
Troy Nelson A good story, well written. I think you should write if you ever get a good idea.
This song is amazing! It is now one of my new favorites!
Don't care about horns and totally authentic whatever, the music is great and the graphics are really cool too. Love it all.
This word constantly reminds me of Loki.
Though he says Jotunheim in the film. Loki of Jotunheim, as they imply that he's a giant not a 'god.'
He's both in the mythology. And many of the gods, even Odin, have giant blood.
Again a fantastic nice song by you Adrian :-)
Cheers from Sweden

Will listen to this on my journey through Jotunheim Nationalpark next winter ;D
Thank you almighty UA-cam suggestions, you have, once again, lead me to amazing works of art!
Oh, Yay! More Viking-based music! I love these tracks, along with the Celtic ones.
Jötunheimr, the realm of the Etnis, of chaos and crisis. The gods shiver in awe at your music Adrian!
It really hits the spot.

I can only make my voice sound like this in the morning. xD

You rock! Keep up the great work, Adrian!
Can the music be used in a video as long as I say the Name of the Music and that you created it?
It's easy enough after a night of drinking too.

bin mit Norwegen innigst verbunden. Liebe dieses Land seit ich dort droben war. die Historie , einfach alles! diese Musik ist ein Hammer!!!
My university course in Norse runes starts this afternoon. This got me excited. Thank you for making such amazing music, Adrian! Cheers from Sweden.
I still listen to this several times a week. It's so distinct and different, has impressed upon my memory. Good work.

Adrian I just want to say thank you for composing the epic soundtracks that I use for DMing and received high praise for my selections because of this
your music calms me yet gets my blood boiling its great
Not the same for me, I'm getting dark at this moment haha
I love this kind of music because it always makes you wonder what's out there...
Absolutely love it! I don't know how viking music would sound, but this piece of music is so great. Thank you for uploading.
Que genialidad por favor!!!!!!
Hey Dhyan69 tienes Facebook???? tu gusto musical es excelente!!!!! quisiera conversar en alguna ocacion con tigo!!!

Once again adrian, your music brings out the wonders that are not seen or heard in our world. Thank you.
Jötunheimen one of the most magical places I ever been to
Jonas Wijte it is really beatifull there
Jonas Wijte is it a real place i have only heard of it as the land of the giants in norse got history books
ThreadierMeat 51 Yes it is a chain of mountains in Norway
DevilNick ok i did not know
DevilNick thx
I love you're work! i making a tear come from eye! i love this songs bror! keep it up please!
Beautiful ...as usual
When I listen to this I see a exile wandering through marshes of a distant land. It puts me at peace
got to love the vikings
by far this is the best song i ever heard, hope to see a version 2 jötunheimr
this is cool!
omfg all of your music so so awesome. I seriously cannot get enough of it.
Proud Scandinavian! Vikings!
This is truly amazing. I spent my whole workout listening to this song.... It is incredible... no other word for it. Your work is amazing Adrian.
Dear Adrian,
Get into voice acting. You'd be amazing at that.
Sincerely,
Rinion.
How do you figure? Singing and voice acting are two very, very different things.
Nicolas Masson He seems to have some pretty neat voices that would be perfect for a few animated tales. Heh.
Adrian you are indeed a genius. Your music has so much emotion and impact on you when listening to it.
diggin' the Giant speak/black metal gurgles
Agreed, i guess if giants existed and spoke old Futhark they would sound pretty death metal.
James Conlon Old futhark is just the name of the rune alphabet. the language back then is called Old Norse
Love it, Love it, Love it. I freaking love it ! From all of your songs I like mostly the Viking ones, Adrian. Keep up the good work!
You could do some metal viking about Muspellheim.
I don't think slow music would fit with Surtur and his realm.
Inspired by norse mythology and Norway. In Norway there is a mountainous place called "Jotunheimen". Awesome!
Skandinavia RISE!!! Glory Valhalla !!
Wow, this really took me into a world of Giants and Norse gods and the like! Beautiful :)
If you all like Norse mythology (many of the comments made me think so!) I would suggest "Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard" by Rick Riordan. It is a really good fictional book with a lot of historical fact in the sense of keeping true to Norse mythology.

@@liloupetitchamps7132 why?

Jotunheim means "The giants Home" directly translated if that helps.
I didn't know that - thanks! :)
Such power and majesty! I love the traditional Nordic vibe to this. So beautiful!
Vikings where Gods on this EARTH. No fear no nothing ;-)
engri sh
Samurais were better to be honest
And they killed Christians. That w as good.
Killed Christians for their wealth, but converted for power in the new European Christian world. and no samurai weren't better. Vikings explored and pillaged many lands around the world, the samurai could get their own island under control. Plus Valhalla is just awesome.

Vikings used swords all the time. Not like the sword pictured, but shorter and smaller hilts. (and a bit less shiny) Ever heard of Ulfberht?
Sekai Talley-LaRoche that's not a sword.
Vikings were very fond of swords.
Jotunheimer... I was reading about jotuns and this fits the music perfectly
How do you pronounce Jötunheimr ?
Yoh-tin-hime-er
I´m Swedish, it´s like "yaw-toon-heym", but "ö" can´t be translated to English.
J-oe-tun-heim-er
Viveqa Rosengren I've read a lot of viking themed books and had to guess on pronunciation. Thanks for the input of a native speaker. I thought the ending r was pronounced when present?
Nurk0m0rath -er, --ar, -or are pronounced when present (in Swedish) and are plurals if used whit a noun. I´m not 100% sure, butis is how I have heard Jötunheimr being pronounced (by modern people).
More Viking music !
So many role players trying to make stories here 😂
+Matthew Velleius
you have a problem with writers?
+plakerd || He's an Idiot, probably. Otherwise he wouldnt appear like trying to mock others. *;-)*
I just find it funny in a sense, can your mind not process someone has a different opinion than you Gul'Dan?
+plakerd You seem thoroughly upset, try meditating or a good breathing excerise..yoga is also good.
u jusstgot trolled rifk lelelelele hisssssssssssssss
I think this song is my favorite so far. So powerful.
It would be amazing if you did the other realms as well. I think your take on Niðavellir and Helheimr/Niflheimr in particular would be incredible to listen to!
Its pronounced like (your-ten-high-mm) if that makes any sense.
+John Grewe more like Yuh-toon-hey-mm
Yur-tun-heym, actually
"Ö" isn't pronounced like that, it's not the same as "O". Its pronounced like the u in "burn"
Jeremy Eggert -er
I thought it was Yuh-tun-haimer.
Booooyaaaaa! From Scotland with love! Awesome Adrian! Been a fan for a long time now, especially the Celtic and Viking music, keep up the brilliance friend!
Aren't the horned helmets a romantic Victorian rewrite of the Norse rapists and butchers? I say rapists and butchers with all due respect as my Great Grandmother was from Norway
+Dennis Cat Yepp. They didn't have horned helmets, although there is some indication that they may have used horned helmets in rituals, but definitely not for battle.^^ The picture here is actually a fan artwork from Skyrim, so don't take the image too serious. xD
+Dennis Cat Nope they didn't wear horned helmets, actually the berserkers might have there is some work that suggests that some of them may have, but the regular ones no they just wore regular helmets.
+Adrian von Ziegler one person had it made as a symbol of him but mainly at parties and less serious ceremonies
+Dennis Cat who wasnt rapist and butcher in middle ages? vikings with their beliefs were clearer then hypocritical christians.
+Dennis Cat One should always look at what came before all of the wars. Norse pagans were peaceful and only became defensive when new values were being introduced by force and the ancestral ways of life were threatened. This happened all over the world. For example, the Ashanti culture of West Africa was a Goddess centered culture and was therefore peaceful, before they were forced to arm themselves to defend against colonial troops and the missionaries.The same can be said of the Native Americans and the Aborigines.
The Goddesses of pagan spirituality also went through 'changes' over time, as the warrior cults became dominant in the world. Some were incorporated into new, all-male pagan pantheons, while others such as Medusa for example, were demonized or cast out, much the same way as Loki and Hel were by the monks who re-wrote the legends.
History can be read in many ways, and the rarest is the truth, as it is always written in the eye of the beholder. Therefore, Vikings became known as 'pirates' when they attacked Churches and pillaged monasteries, as in fact it was the Christians who had dispossessed pagans in the first place. Drake became a 'pirate' in the eyes of the Catholic Church, because he plundered all of their slaver's outposts and the new colonies in the Americas. It is hard to call any side in a war, the 'good' or 'evil' side of it, yet the facts are simple and that is that before all of the wars , there was only the love of the Goddess and God of Nature. It doesn't help any to generalize and infer that all pagans from the Northern lands are as you say, rapists and butchers. What other proofs do you have of the Norse being such folk?
Great for my workout! Training for strongman, being from sweden it really helps motivate me! Great job!
jötunheim, home of the giants of ice and one of the nine worlds. bound by the tree of yggdrasil. other worlds are known to be midgard (earth) asgard (home of the gods) niflheim (world of the mist and hel) vanaheimr (home of the vanir)
i think this song really does connect to the germanic and viking legends.
it is strong and it is exactly how they felt about these worlds.
I can listen to this all day.
Listening to this sent chills down my spine. Exquisite and dark. Amazing!
I've listened to this countless times and I don't think I've never expressed how fucking awesome it is! Adrian, you are magic!
I hate UA-cam. See a comment, just to realise i didn't see the three hundred previous ones. To any I might have offended... I agree, this is NOT fantasy music. -Not related to LOTR or anything reminicing to that. -This is music fully composed and created by people that have a sense for roots....
It may be of interest (if you don't know already) that there is a mountain range in Norway that bears this name (Jotunheimen in New Norse). The name derives indeed from the name of the giant`s world.
Side note: I am currently writing a fantasy novel about Svartalfheimr. If I ever make a book trailer I will come back to you for the background music.
Klingt sehr gut ist und du Musik scheint diese Welt richtig zu beschreiben.
Asenheil und Wanensegen euch allen!
Growing up I learnt more about jötunheimr, Asgard and Midgard that any other of the Viking worlds (Niflheim,svartalheim,aflheimr,muspeltheimr and Vanaheimr)
none shall stand in my Way !! What i felt :) . all hail Adrian von Ziegler !
I pictured a whole bunch of Jotuns being all brooding, and the story of when Thor and Loki and Thor's servants fought Utgard-Loki.
And then I pictured the creepy parts of HTTYD. And Stoick's amazing brooding eyebrows.
So, yeah, this song is pretty awesome.
it was about time you returned to your best compositions
Fear the Loki's brethren, as they will bring you naught but ill. A great song!!!
Awesome.. ALl this emotions comming up. And as the title explains, your song is so perfectly reflecting the jotuns, dark giants...So amazing
I love this! It gives me such cool mental pictures that I want to draw. Keep up the good work Sir.
Nice. It is like I am in a dark forest. I can see the giants and wolves (like Skalli and Hati).
brilliant viking songs man. I'm really looking forward to more
