Hrafnsmál - The Words of the Raven, Lyric Video - Assassin's Creed Valhalla (Official Video) 

This! XD XD XD

What is the game?

@@battleax4609 assassins creed valhala, bruh, it was a joke....

Battle Ax stoopid

@TheColdWish I'm pure jelly

Learning Norwegian right now so I can sing these songs. What should I be learning instead

@@barriesandcream Icelandic is closer to old norse.

@@barriesandcream No, instead, learn Islandic, it is more closely related to old norse.

Funny that it's in Old Norwegian and that those who moved to Iceland were Norwegians speaking Old Norwegian and now they speak the language closest to Old Norwegian than Norwegian. (blame denmark)

I remember seeing Einar in an interview that Gaahl knew the language better than he did originally and hes had to learn it. Im glad he did as his music has scratched an itch i didnt know needed scratching since I fell in love with Clannads music in the 1980s

some say he's a reincarnation of Buri..

Only if I am the main character

@@Darth2416 take my money then!

fala em portugués idiota!

@@cisastur cala boca

@@Darth2416 how about Ivar as the main character, king ragnar?

^^

That's kind of an ironic statement, given Norse faith and views. Everything must end, so that there may be beginnings. All endings lead into new beginnings. Everything is circular in it's nature, balanced and perfect. Even after Ragnarok, there was not an end to all life or the end of the world. Simply the death of the Norse Pantheon, and a rise of others to replace them, who carry their tales and stories into the new world as they rebuild for themselves. Much as Odin and his brothers did after the fall of their Father and Grandfather. By the belief system they sing about and seem to hold, they likely fully expect to be replaced and accept it as the eventual reality of life, as generations and "worlds" change. Life was not a straight line. Rather, it was a circle. What changed in the circle was the names of those who lived and influenced it, shaped it, during their time in the circle.

. PERIOD. You forgot the PERIOD.

I have tickets to see them in October in Chicago and I'll pillage and burn if they cancel

Odins Wolf message me my friend if they cancel. Together we will burn them all

@@Darth2416 axe time, spear time, shields splintering

Odins Wolf though we go to our deaths we go knowing our gods wait for us in VALHALLA!

@@Darth2416 was born to die glorious and be carried off by a Valkirie to Valhalla

Yes

I completely understand I feel the exact same as you just wrote. I do have Icelandic and Norwegian in my heritage and I am and always have loved Norway. Einar Linda and wardruna hit my heart and soul like a freight train.🇳🇴🇮🇸😍 I listen to them all the time. Blessed 🙏 be

This is ancient tunes, and worldmusic in my mind. I think everybody can get the feeling this music is something they recognize deep down..and I am Norwegian - with old German, Danish, Swedish, Belgium, Scottish, Irish and English heritage, like most people in Scandinavia.

I'm from Puerto Rico and I absolutely love this. For some reason feel that Im at home, even thougth this is not the typical music of the island.

remember the diaspora are just as scandanavian as scandanavians usually - Take the UK - Many there their DNA is just as strongly connected to ancient norse as it is with the saxons

Desde un país tan lejano y pequeño como Chile. Entiendo perfectamente lo que describes. Wardruna es una obra de arte! ❤️

Auk verþù heilir, broðir.

Where did you learn old norse? I want too

@@Aari-mu1fl I recommend jackson crawford on RU-vid he has a series out now thats rather new on old norse lessons I'm currently still on lesson one cause dead languages are hard.

@@tuckerrichardson2606 Languages are only dead if no one speaks it

Elder Futhark runes with a legend on how to pronounce the letters, words ... beautiful, tricky, but great tools for divination as well :)

@EmtronVenger Beautiful

As a 2.6 Scandinavian I agree as well

no he is not midas and they don't turn to gold they turn to Diamonds

Italian right?

Ubisoft is strange

Its so fucking strange. With this ost I want to play this game even if its shitty. Cinematic looks WAAAAY better with this music

@Thrax Voivod Vikings acted like todays n-words, and there were as much sluts as we have now It is more about authentic look of the time and culture, so fucking Battlefield 5 tier music doesnt fit cinematic about atmosphere of viking age

@@ivan4010 they think #thinklikeaviking marketing will work better! Theres certainly some brain dead ass people upstairs in there

@Thrax Voivod couldn't have said it better myself

skal

SKAL TO ODIN!!

Heil Woden!

@Prabh Sandhu ok tbh, the God of War games are portraying the gods as evil lol

@Prabh Sandhu oh dont worry im not hurt lol I loved GOW4 and put aside my beliefs I believe making the norse gods evil was great seeing the creators of GOW need antagonists

Nothing wrong with this Morton. Nothing wrong with this.

sounds christian..

@@carloseduardosanchezramire4676 I am christian. That doesn't mean I can't appreciate pagan music and rejoice when it becomes more mainstream

@@morgoth_bauglir True, but christian values are against pagan ones.

@@carloseduardosanchezramire4676 depends on which values you focus on. In my opinion, both the bible and the pagan texts and myths we have, are very convoluted and can be interpreted in many ways, which can differ from person to person and from culture to culture

@@nihilnemo5421 HEY EVIE! I've been meaning to drop by the comments this whole week and I always forget to!

I'd rather wait for Kvitravn album. This will be nice soundtrack to raiding southern England though. Let's just hope the AC Valhalla won't turn into typical generic Ubi bullshit. I'd want an RPG game set into universe of Hellblade Senua's Sacrifice, now that would be great.

Πάμε λίγο οι Ελληνες.

But first Need to check the alliance map 😅❤

Not sure but their obviously a dud 😂

Probably a Christian😂

It sounds like a more vigorous use of the kravik lyre...thats what I suspect, anyway.

Yeah, that's Einar Selvik's perosnal lyre used many times. You can see it in Fehu (acoustic) at Wardruna's channel

Its because this is a video game soundtrack, its supposed to be a title song. While Wardruna's songs are usually more atmospheric, this one goes more like a normal poem.

Watch this clip of Einar playing this song on his lyre live. He strums it like it was a guitar instead of finger-picking one string at a time, which is what he usually does in his music. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vy2SWxtvPeM.html

Funny, Alan Walker is from the same city as Einar (Bergen, Norway)

@@thomasnorb4077 no fucking way! Now that's soo awesome! 😄

Im glad they brought Jesper Kyd back

They're all Germanic. In fact, the Norse Gods are the original Gods of the Germanic people.

ᚼᚢᛅᛚᛘᛅᚱ ᚾᛁᚴᚬᛚᛅᛋᛋᚬᚾ and then came Christianity to ruin it all.

@@palantir135 unfortunately.

English used to be related until the Greek, French and many other languages influenced it. Unless pretty much Old English.

English IS a Germanic language and looks / sounds like a Germanic language, and looks / sounds nada like Greek, pfff, and only Germanic languages can be so perfect and logical, like Dutch & English which are the prettiest and most refined languages ever with the most pretty words etc - also, Greek and most other European languages, including all Germanic languages and Celtic languages and Latin languages etc all come from the same language Proto European, anyway, and most words have always been in each new language that a certain dude created or modified, so it doesn’t mean that a word came from Greek or whatever, most base words were always in each new languages that was created from Proto European and from other languages that come from Proto European, and most languages that come from Proto European are pretty languages that were improved more and more, with each new modifying, while others were made into a non-pretty language, because not every dude that creates or modifies words and languages has such artistic talents and a logical mind, so very few dudes can create pretty words with great letter combinations and pretty word endings and pretty diphthongs etc, which is a true art, so the properly modified languages that come from Proto European are pretty, and they had a strong base, as the first words created in Proto European were nice enough for that time, but with Greek languages they became non-pretty, and then with Celtic languages and Germanic languages and the true Latin languages, they become pretty and better than ever before, as the dudes that modified those languages had a lot of talent for that time, especially the dude that created Old Norse, which is even more refined and easier to read than Modern Icelandic, so he had a lot of talent and a really good eye / ear for prettiness and harmonies, especially considering how ancient it is!

damn not the best of their music ....

I find it good enough for ""normies"" and even though i'll be flamed for it the music fit with the theme especially when the viking chanting started

Te recomiendo que jueges assassins creed origins, de esa forma vas a entender la historia

El cordobes 2006 pêro todos los juegos que saliram antes ?

@@FlyingTaurus origins es una precuela. Origins, odyssey y valhalla suceden mucho antes que los primeros assassin's creed

El cordobes 2006 gracias por las dicas companheiro 👌

Μακάρι

Μακάρι δεν λες τίποτα

They dint want to cause a massive spikes in viking raids. So they kept it more tame in the reveal trailer

Check out the new (same but using female Eivor) theatrical trailer set to the main theme!

@@vamikos Cant seem to find it....

@@trygveblacktiger597 It's the cinematic trailer, my bad.

@Pedro Abreu You would be surprised how many normies warm up to this pretty quickly once made to listen... one of them laughed when i showed him Einar Selvik and Trevor Morris' Vikings suite, and now he bears Yggdrasil tattooed on his chest. The difference is this in my oppinion: music these days i best played in the background while busy driving, working doing workout etc. There is little to feel or to experience. Normies have to learn that those things can be archieved by music.

Right there with you. That would be so beyond epic I don't think I could handle it. Especially if you could faintly here Ragnar in the mist saying "...I welcome the Valkyries to summon me home!"

...and a rumble of thunder...

@@edgunderson6570 Ohhhh the chills I would get.

That would be a great surprise

Lololol

they?

M. B. Wardruna of course I think it’s nearly a song a month at the moment

@@dieafrikaansbear8995 It's mostly Einar behind Wardruna.

Ok captain pedantic.

Me too, everytime I hear this song, something deep inside soo ancient!

Muito bom gosto muito das músicas

O fundador tinha é o mesmo do gorgoroth kkkk

Funniest part is that Einar is a much more common name. But gotta be "Spechul"

They were trying to go for a gender neutral name but Eivør isn't even gender neutral, its feminine

haha they should have, especially because Eivor is typically a woman's name. I mean, they could also get the singer Eivor to do music for the soundtrack :p

@Prabh Sandhu booked?? Composers are free to take up any kind of projects.

@Ruben Feneser Actually both are canon, ''After revealing the female version, Ubisoft clarified that both were canon, and thanks to a brief clip we now have a slightly better idea of how that works. '' is from an article on pcgamer. But their sources are from Ubisoft, so it's true. Though I do understand why people would say it's the female Eivor that is canon, but it's actually debatable.
