Gåte ("Riddle") is pronounced like "Gote", the letter Å is similar to the O in "Ordinary" in pronounciation. Ulveham means wolfskin, this is a very old story ("Møya i ulveham"). It's about a girl whose mother died at birth, and her stepmother raised her in a gray place, jealous of her and trying to put spells on her, turning her into a needle, a sword etc. But these things are much appreciated by people, so they always liked her. The stepmother tells her that she is destined to become a wolf, so she throws a wolf fur over her, turning her into an actual wolf - to live in the woods. The only way she can break free is to drink her brother's blood. She defies her stepmother, tears her off her horse and eats her. Turns out she was pregnant, so the girl drinks her (half)brother's blood and breaks free 😊 So happy they won!
A better translation of their band name would be the alternative meaning of Gåte, and that is Enigma. The latter makes a whole lot more sense. Their songs are enigmatic rather than riddles.
Gåte’s music is a dark, mesmerizing and stunningly beautiful take on Nordic folk. Where they flirt with elements from traditional Norse and pagan music as well as from more modern genres like rock and industrial. The chorus is a socalled KULOKK, - the maiden calling the cattle in from the the mountains. The roots of this song are a thousand years old.
This is really my style of music. The style of being good, fresh and uplifting. The style of music I don’t like is bad, generic, boring music that doesn’t push any buttons in me.
Shakira does flip in and out of headvoice all the time, just like Gunnhild. I definitely understand that comparison, but as I hate Evanescence I will ignore the other half of the comparison >_>
Its a very dark text and old. Im prowed🇳🇴. But sad they have to take away the text, some stupid people say they canånt use it becouse its over 1000 year old medieval ballad. They have to make a new text, its sooo sad 😢.
Emm.. Norwgian is not this.. it it closer to a part of norway with a mic of old Norse. I honestly have to admit as a Norwefian I have to listen HARD!!!!!!!! ti understand it
Are you making a joke that I'm not understanding? This is Norwegian! There are two official versions of Norwegian: Bokmål and Nynorsk (and tons of dialects as well). Surely you had Nynorsk at school?
Definitely not close to Norse. If you want to hear what old Norse sounded like, listen to Icelandic. Their language is practically identical to what old Norse sounded like 1000 years ago. This is dialectal Nynorsk of the type you still hear in upper Telemark as well as coastal Norway. And they’re using a few words that would’ve been more common 100 years ago.
