I am obsessed with HTTYD!!! I had HTTYD birthday this year!! 😄 Vikings are my fav time period as well, plus I'm Pagan and believe in Valhalla, Helheim, Thor, Loki, Odin, Freya, ext.
Oh, HTTYD opened to me this magical and dark part of history... There is some kind of charms in Viking's folk, and I feel it deep inside my soul. Maybe in the dark side, but it's because I am religious Jewish. 😅
If you are from Iceland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden or Finland it doesnt matter, we are all children of the north wind. Valhalla waits those who die in battle but remember the battles we fight are inside our heads. I seek my place in valhalla and i hope who ever reads this, greets me in there.

I'm Moroccan but I feel so connected with that type of music it's like I can remember my self dancing to it somehow in the past I don't know where all those memories came from but I feel that I have memories with that music somehow
I have DMD, 2 years in bed, never gave up, breathing on ventilator, but I find power trough this music, I feel strong, though, like my soul came from ancient viking.
I'm a Dane and I grew up in a small forest village with about a hundred people living there. My life has always been in the forest and there is nothing that calms me more than the forest at night. Now I live in a bigger city for university. Adrian, when I hear your music and look at this picture, I can feel something pull at me from the pit of my stomach.

You always bring me back.
my grandparents (i'm very close to my grandparents so i'm visiting very often and they're like my second parents) live in a village with about 9 people, which all are related to me, we have dogs, fox-traps and wild reindeers, deers, hares and mooses. They also own like half of the forest surounding the village and we often go picking blueberrys and cloudberrys... Skål från norra Sverige, det är -20°c nu.

Ive read many of the comments here. The thing about music is that it invokes imagery, emotions, fantasy, longings. This song does it all. I've read many comments about longing for another time, a time of real-life experience and struggle. A time when what was yours was yours and could only be taken by force. A time when family ties were as strong as iron and the land was the lifeblood of the hearth. A time when the balance between mother and father in the home was respected, each knowing their duty without complaint. A time when the Gods of our ancestors lived strong in the heart of the folk. A time when we did not know too much as we do now and the world was still full of mystery and magic. I long for that time and age as well.
It was a time of violence, short life spans, and great struggle. There's a difference between romanticizing something and historical fact. This was not a great time for women. "each knowing their duty without complaint" is one hell of an assumption.
I am from India,Bengal (eastern region) and I feel so connected to this kind of Nordic music. I can listen to this all day. I wish to survive in nature that has bluish and blackish shades everywhere with an axe and a sword. And to face and overcome nature’s harshness I often feel characters like ODIN is same as our INDRA(king of gods and god of thunder and rain)

I grew up in Norway wandering around in all the public forests. This reminds me of hiking around in the woods & mountains, very mysterious and humbling experience. Music is very appropriate.
According to this source from 2003, 88% of forests in Norway are in private ownership. You must've been very picky to only wander around in those owned by the government :p www.regjeringen.no/globalassets/kilde/ld/bro/2003/0001/ddd/pdfv/177177-norw_forests-brosj-eng.pdf
Haren94 In Finland,Sweden,norway there are alot of private owned forest. But we have a law that is basically called "right to public access" you can go into the woods and pick berries and mushrooms and camp if you want even if its "privately owned" But you cant cut down trees because those belong to the owner. I meet hikers/ sometimes hunters were my family own some forest. In Nordic countries we believe that everybody should get the chance to be in the forest and enjoy life. We have no problem with this.
You know you're a fan of the North, when music as beautiful and relaxing as this, is able to transport you to a time when man and the wilderness were a parallel race. :)
Victoria Arul I agree totally relaxing and soothing takes you away for a time where you are in the present moment of your life I’m playing this in my bed at night with the lights off and the light from my phone only and the effects are amazing on my mind now
I am from Poland but I am really fascinated with the viking culture and I love the Scandinavian countries. There is something magical in the landscapes of North. This is great music. 🖤
@@aaronalkor idk if youtube still does it since ive been using an extension to prevent it, but when I had written that comment a year ago youtube would interrupt videos *all the time* if theyve indeed stopped, thats lovely
Your work is soooo breath taking that I'm stuck with Northern civilization... I'm a Greek girl who would be proud if it had viking roots :) keep creating magic...
Yup ^ Harold Hadrada, King of England (defeated by William the Conqueror) was a leader in the Varangian Guard. So there could be some nordic genes kicking around the eastern Med somewhere.
Most in the Varangian guard where not actually real vikings. Most where from eastern europe. They where kind of vikings but not really. The Varangian guard was of course made of vikings in the start but after a while this did change
Nice to hear! But I do hope you are just as proud of your roots even if there aren't any vikings in there somewhere, although as pointed out here there just might be! =) The ancient greek civilization have had an enormous impact and proud history! But I'm still happy you like us up in the north anyway =) Or our heritage from ages ago I should say perhaps. Greetings from the north!
I am from Rome. I grew up with classical education: western culture of ancient Rome and Greece, but I am very fascinated by Scandinavian culture. I love this kind music. I recently returned from Wardruna's concert, and I want to deepen the history of Norse culture.
I'm tunisian so mediterreanean and that's in north africa, this was a travel in time and space and as if cold wind slapped me in the face. I wish i can visit a nordic country and go in a forest and just experience that cold and reconnect with mother nature ... i saw a comment here saying that this longing that we have today for this freedom is the call of nature to come back home , come back to it. And that's exactly it. Nature's call is much more persistent with the days, and music like this is definitely its language. All love to Scandinavia!
+Hamid Houssaini Nice! xD Yeah, I tried to make it relaxing and hypnotic, but I think there is something about Nordic music that just automatically makes you feel like you want to move mountains, even when the music is rather calm.^^
There is a forest near my home. The sky is getting darker, the wind starts to blow colder. There are some vultures flying trought the rain. *THAT'S THE PERFECT ENVIROMNENT*

Each time I hear this Music, I want to pack my bag, take a boat to the mainland, get to Dalarna, and walk into the ancient forest once more. I live in Sweden. Born Swedish. My family is from around Scandinavia. This Music speaks to my old norse blood.
My husband and I come from Viking and Celtic lineages. We often meditate to the sounds of music such as this and I listen to my warrior poet compose songs to honor his past and our future.
Half swedish/half norwegian here, can def see myself listening to this while out riding or walking in the forests and mountains. Bra jobbet! (= Good job in norwegian)
My family is Norwegian and our philosophy is to treat all Norwegians like our family you are apart of the bjorn brors and we will die fighting together my bror.
I've never made a DNA test and as far as I know all my family is Spanish or Mexican. But I can't ignore the connection I feel with the north, I never felt connected or proud of my roots I just feel isolated and this type of music lets me feel like if I was there in the ancient times and imagine adventures I'll probably never have, love your work
Perhaps because Spanish people specially from north Spain are Celtic descendants, and they came originally just as Norse, from the the central Asian plains. We have very antique roots in common.
Im an old soul who has taken another incarnation around this time as an arab, I remember these old Celtic times in the lands of Albion, your music brings about these soul memories. So much appreciation to your work.
"The blood of my ancestors burns within me, I will not bow to bullet nor blade, my convictions are clear and if I fall then a warrior's death I shall be granted. - To Valhalla!"
Brilliant music... Very soothing... I'm an admirer of Nordic culture. Well all cultures really. I especially love Viking stories and tales. We once had a bonfire on a frozen lake in Norway and we were playing Nordic music and hymns and telling Nordic tales... I still remember how cold it was yet the friends we made there were warmer than the burning wood infront of us. Kudos to the composer. Kudos from India...
Ppl from europe mostly have viking blood in them. my uncle searched the whole familty tree back to the year 900! And yes, also iam a part viking. Now i know why my beard comes from. Really love this music!
Half Finnish and half Russian. I absolutely love Scandinavian culture and language. When i visited my Finnish grandparents for first time i was amazed by the beauty of the snow forests. We have beautiful nature in Russia too, but most of my country is just grey box looking houses. Thanks for wonderful music!
The comment section of TH-cam is a graveyard for throughts, newcomers visit this place and hear the whispers of what others had to say before them, perhaps leaving a thought of their own, as I am doing right now. Look at the timestamps; they range from weeks to years.
I have a tiny percentage of Scandinavian in me genetically yet Nordic music speaks to my soul deep within me. I like dancing to it on the beaches or sitting quietly with headphones. My warrior times are over now...at 73 I finally get to relax.... and enjoy. It must be empowering to sit by a fire in winter with the Lights above. I am Canadian. Husband and sit by the ocean, Salish Sea, in all weather. We bring out our chairs and hot coffee and enjoy the elements...all weather sun gales rain snow...only hail stops us❤.
@@IGTKYIYKSM as I get farther into Norse Paganism, I like to think 'battle' is relative. Like dying from a battle with depression (suicide) cancer, etc.
I am from the Netherlands 🇳🇱 A small country in Europe. I think my country is amazing and I totally love it. I just miss that we dont have that much nature, which makes sense, cause our country is not that big. One time I went on a trip with friends to go wild camping in Belgium. I know it is not scandinavia, but it was he first time ever that I felt I was really in nature, cause we were an 8 hour walk from the road. I have travelled to so many cities, but still this was the best experience in my whole life. I love the nature, and this music makes me reconnect to it. Big love from the Netherlands, we really like the northern countries of Europe ❤🇩🇰🇸🇪🇮🇸🇳🇴🇫🇮
I did not have the privilege of being born in places like you describe in your comments but I definitely must have lived in previous lives, I feel it through your music, on my skin when I am in nature.
This captures the essence of all your previous Viking compositions, and I believe this will tie the album together very nicely. Powerful and strong, but packaged in a calm and relaxing format. Great stuff!
We were all from a better place then where we are now. I am american and no american is truly "from" here. We all immigrated from one place or another. When we hear this music and our blood begins to awaken.. our ancestors awaken inside us.. our past lives begin to reveal themselves i think it all tells us where our blood originated. We begin to connect.. emotions stir and our truths speak to us. This is why we feel so strongly when we hear things like this. It's telling us we are much more than what we think we are. We are all warriors in one form or another. We have all had to fight our battles in one form or another. Sometimes my ancestors speak so loudly and of so many truths i actually cry..there is no doubt we were all brothers/sisters before and are coming together once more. The more of us that awaken perhaps... perhaps.. we will make changes in our lives and in this world and slowly despite what we have been led to believe is the right path.. we will all join hands on a much more familiar and needed path. "society" tells us NO only out of fear.. out of fear that they will have to see the truths for themselves.. not made up man truths. The Old Gods/Goddesses are waking up and calling to their people. Perhaps to save the destruction that we have a society caused and to teach us how to help nature thrive and heal as well as ourselves. I'll stop ranting now. I'm sure i feel nothing that you yourselves don't feel as well. Skol my brothers and sisters.
I am Australian but my family is of Scandinavian decent and I have been learning about the biking culture for months and it is know one of my favourite research topics
Music such as this inspired me to write my book, which also has elements of Nordic Folklore. I absolutely love this piece of art and I listen to it whenever I need to lay back and visualise the settings. The raven sounds blending in with the slow rising melody is such a beauty. You inspire me and many more like me, I'm sure with your music. Thank you so much!
Once a long time ago I saw a strong, tall red headed man with a full beard in a parking lot. He looked true Viking as if he just stepped out of a movie or out of time. I didn't talk to him I only watched in awe. I was afraid to talk to him, afraid it would spoil my image I was so enjoying. Hearing this song brings back that day from my youth. The lesson learned is sometimes its better to hold an imagine than the truth.
I'm nearly 7000 words into writing the story that this has inspired in me. I have repeated this track countless times and it has now reached a depth of imagery for me that few pieces have the capacity to do. I may be a dreamer and capable of finding wondrous worlds in most pieces of stimulus that come my way, but Otrodinn is truly next-level. Thank you Adrian. As always, your creations speak to me in a way that not much else can.
For everyone claiming that their ancestors were Vikings just letting you know that most Vikings weren’t considered Vikings Viking was a word used when raiders went to steal they were said to be going Viking

As one candle can light another, so too can greatness of mind be transferred amongst men. To remain in solitude is to deprive oneself of this kindling Take care with your speech; it can be the catalyst for many needless problems. You never know who could be lending an ear to your ramblings
I feel very connected to nature when I listen to Nordic music on a cloudy day. I live in sunny California in the cities so it’s easy to forget that we all came from nature. Sometimes on cloudy days, I just put this music on, stand outside and take a few minutes to breathe in order to ground myself and remind myself of our origins as humans.
Wow! I’m just like You! I’m from Brazil and I just love dark cloudy and rainy days! I can feel exactly what ure talking about! Listening to this songs in cloudy rainy days is magical!
THIS MUSIC KICKS MORE ASSES THAN THIS WORLD HAS TO OFFER.. !!! Well done mate.., on all of your spiritual points of entry!! ... Which is no doubt, what you're creating.. !! So thank you for helping us return to these worlds.. !!!!! You are a miracle worker gate keeper!
I am an Arab girl, but sometimes, deep in my heart, I feel that my soul belongs to the Nordic culture and tradition, I am in love with the history of your Viking ancestors. I wish I could visit a Celtic country one day and spend a few days in the wild nature of these ancient lands, where majestic warriors and brave women with long blond hair and blue eyes that reflect the cold winter they carry inside, lived, never being afraid of everything. Skol.
I keep coming back to this. Must have heard it over a hundred times by now and it's still as mystical and emotional as the first time I heard it. This is one of your best. Thank you!
I can see them wandering, marching through the forest; the crisp spiky leaves poking through their worn shoes, stabbing at their feet. It is freezing cold and yet they continue in their bulky old fur jackets torn from the very animals they ate. But it wasn't just animals that they hunted, but they also hunted humans, seeking their treasures and riches. Jewel's and suffering however brought fear into the land and although the Viking's were mighty their consciences were drooping. They chanted and chanted trying block out the guilt; the regret but every victim left a stamp, a scar. They slowly turned to madness one by one and so they continued, hollow and heartless walking through the icy, snowy forest like clockwork. I can see them.
@@theodoric7335 I agree and an image of projecting your modern values on them. Their religion was built on war. To fight , to die was honor. that was life.
I always have had a strong feeling deep down ever since I was little always missing the feeling of being free both in spirit and mind running across open land living for a purpose breathing in the freedom from each new breath being one with something bigger than all of us at first I thought it was just a childish thing but so many people feel it deep down I now know it is our ancient spirits calling us home humans are meant to live like everything else meant to be free but we have strayed from the path of who we’re are truly meant to be that’s why so many people long for nature long to be free once more because we know that voice will always want us to come and seek home but since we have strayed it’s painful both for every creatures soul and the earth I will return home one day I will someday I hope all of us can.
Music is the best thing humanity ever invented. It speaks without words, and is understandable to any heart. I'm not the one of the northren folk, yet I find these vibes enthralling, I wasn't born to the forests and chilling sea, yet I hear their call in these notes. The music, better that any other thing, makes you understand that at our cores, we are all the same. Same species in the one big world. So different, yet so similar.
This is the type of song that makes you homesick for a place and time that you were not born in.
+Ruthless4Life I felt the same way while making it. Maybe that's why I actually make this music.

I don’t miss the icy rains of Northern Europe but I do miss the beautiful snows and the four distinctive seasons. 👍

I meet hikers/ sometimes hunters were my family own some forest. In Nordic countries we believe that everybody should get the chance to be in the forest and enjoy life. We have no problem with this.
Karl Meow I know, it's a great law. I hope more countries would adopt this attitude.

Yup ^ Harold Hadrada, King of England (defeated by William the Conqueror) was a leader in the Varangian Guard. So there could be some nordic genes kicking around the eastern Med somewhere.
Most in the Varangian guard where not actually real vikings. Most where from eastern europe. They where kind of vikings but not really. The Varangian guard was of course made of vikings in the start but after a while this did change

But I do hope you are just as proud of your roots even if there aren't any vikings in there somewhere, although as pointed out here there just might be! =)
The ancient greek civilization have had an enormous impact and proud history!
But I'm still happy you like us up in the north anyway =) Or our heritage from ages ago I should say perhaps.
Greetings from the north!
I am from Rome. I grew up with classical education: western culture of ancient Rome and Greece, but I am very fascinated by Scandinavian culture. I love this kind music. I recently returned from Wardruna's concert, and I want to deepen the history of Norse culture.
I'm tunisian so mediterreanean and that's in north africa, this was a travel in time and space and as if cold wind slapped me in the face. I wish i can visit a nordic country and go in a forest and just experience that cold and reconnect with mother nature ... i saw a comment here saying that this longing that we have today for this freedom is the call of nature to come back home , come back to it. And that's exactly it. Nature's call is much more persistent with the days, and music like this is definitely its language. All love to Scandinavia!
Relaxing? This makes me want to get my axe, grow a long beard, get on my long boat and go raiding! Great music! gets my heart pumping!
+Hamid Houssaini Nice! xD Yeah, I tried to make it relaxing and hypnotic, but I think there is something about Nordic music that just automatically makes you feel like you want to move mountains, even when the music is rather calm.^^

Perhaps because Spanish people specially from north Spain are Celtic descendants, and they came originally just as Norse, from the the central Asian plains. We have very antique roots in common.

Love your music as well brandon! And Yes adrian also did a extremely great job at this.
Powerful music, remind me old days... Pure, where everyone have your own destiny in his hands, and decide which life will live...
Brilliant music... Very soothing... I'm an admirer of Nordic culture. Well all cultures really. I especially love Viking stories and tales. We once had a bonfire on a frozen lake in Norway and we were playing Nordic music and hymns and telling Nordic tales... I still remember how cold it was yet the friends we made there were warmer than the burning wood infront of us. Kudos to the composer. Kudos from India...
Ppl from europe mostly have viking blood in them. my uncle searched the whole familty tree back to the year 900! And yes, also iam a part viking. Now i know why my beard comes from. Really love this music!
Yeah...because only vikings had beards
Half Finnish and half Russian. I absolutely love Scandinavian culture and language. When i visited my Finnish grandparents for first time i was amazed by the beauty of the snow forests. We have beautiful nature in Russia too, but most of my country is just grey box looking houses.
Thanks for wonderful music!

I have a tiny percentage of Scandinavian in me genetically yet Nordic music speaks to my soul deep within me. I like dancing to it on the beaches or sitting quietly with headphones. My warrior times are over now...at 73 I finally get to relax.... and enjoy. It must be empowering to sit by a fire in winter with the Lights above. I am Canadian. Husband and sit by the ocean, Salish Sea, in all weather. We bring out our chairs and hot coffee and enjoy the elements...all weather sun gales rain snow...only hail stops us❤.
I listened to this while writing a pretty dark tale and it started raining. Perfect ambience. Good job!!

So soothing. I want to go lay in a dark forest one evening and play this over and over.
Listening to this while playing AC Valhalla hits different... deep travel to the nordic past.

I am from the Netherlands 🇳🇱 A small country in Europe. I think my country is amazing and I totally love it. I just miss that we dont have that much nature, which makes sense, cause our country is not that big. One time I went on a trip with friends to go wild camping in Belgium. I know it is not scandinavia, but it was he first time ever that I felt I was really in nature, cause we were an 8 hour walk from the road. I have travelled to so many cities, but still this was the best experience in my whole life. I love the nature, and this music makes me reconnect to it. Big love from the Netherlands, we really like the northern countries of Europe ❤🇩🇰🇸🇪🇮🇸🇳🇴🇫🇮
I did not have the privilege of being born in places like you describe in your comments but I definitely must have lived in previous lives, I feel it through your music, on my skin when I am in nature.
This seriously puts my 2 year old to sleep by 3.14 in the song everytime hahaha its a life saver. Much love
This captures the essence of all your previous Viking compositions, and I believe this will tie the album together very nicely. Powerful and strong, but packaged in a calm and relaxing format. Great stuff!

We were all from a better place then where we are now. I am american and no american is truly "from" here. We all immigrated from one place or another. When we hear this music and our blood begins to awaken.. our ancestors awaken inside us.. our past lives begin to reveal themselves i think it all tells us where our blood originated. We begin to connect.. emotions stir and our truths speak to us. This is why we feel so strongly when we hear things like this. It's telling us we are much more than what we think we are. We are all warriors in one form or another. We have all had to fight our battles in one form or another. Sometimes my ancestors speak so loudly and of so many truths i actually cry..there is no doubt we were all brothers/sisters before and are coming together once more. The more of us that awaken perhaps... perhaps.. we will make changes in our lives and in this world and slowly despite what we have been led to believe is the right path.. we will all join hands on a much more familiar and needed path. "society" tells us NO only out of fear.. out of fear that they will have to see the truths for themselves.. not made up man truths. The Old Gods/Goddesses are waking up and calling to their people. Perhaps to save the destruction that we have a society caused and to teach us how to help nature thrive and heal as well as ourselves. I'll stop ranting now. I'm sure i feel nothing that you yourselves don't feel as well. Skol my brothers and sisters.
Thank you, Adrian. That song is beautifully evocative of an Ancient northern forest. I could almost hear the old trees breathing.....
I am Australian but my family is of Scandinavian decent and I have been learning about the biking culture for months and it is know one of my favourite research topics
Music such as this inspired me to write my book, which also has elements of Nordic Folklore.
I absolutely love this piece of art and I listen to it whenever I need to lay back and visualise the settings. The raven sounds blending in with the slow rising melody is such a beauty. You inspire me and many more like me, I'm sure with your music.
Thank you so much!
Once a long time ago I saw a strong, tall red headed man with a full beard in a parking lot. He looked true Viking as if he just stepped out of a movie or out of time. I didn't talk to him I only watched in awe. I was afraid to talk to him, afraid it would spoil my image I was so enjoying. Hearing this song brings back that day from my youth. The lesson learned is sometimes its better to hold an imagine than the truth.
This makes me feel like I want to become a raven flying through cold, rainy, foggy forests where no human has been.
Or just flying in general. I could only dream 😞
I'm nearly 7000 words into writing the story that this has inspired in me. I have repeated this track countless times and it has now reached a depth of imagery for me that few pieces have the capacity to do. I may be a dreamer and capable of finding wondrous worlds in most pieces of stimulus that come my way, but Otrodinn is truly next-level. Thank you Adrian. As always, your creations speak to me in a way that not much else can.
For everyone claiming that their ancestors were Vikings just letting you know that most Vikings weren’t considered Vikings Viking was a word used when raiders went to steal they were said to be going Viking
Scandinavian should use the term norsemen instead of the term Viking.

The energy from nature seems to be possessing within. You know, as if something is filling in the empty side.
As one candle can light another, so too can greatness of mind be transferred amongst men. To remain in solitude is to deprive oneself of this kindling
Take care with your speech; it can be the catalyst for many needless problems. You never know who could be lending an ear to your ramblings

I feel very connected to nature when I listen to Nordic music on a cloudy day. I live in sunny California in the cities so it’s easy to forget that we all came from nature. Sometimes on cloudy days, I just put this music on, stand outside and take a few minutes to breathe in order to ground myself and remind myself of our origins as humans.

I can see them wandering, marching through the forest; the crisp spiky leaves poking through their worn shoes, stabbing at their feet. It is freezing cold and yet they continue in their bulky old fur jackets torn from the very animals they ate. But it wasn't just animals that they hunted, but they also hunted humans, seeking their treasures and riches. Jewel's and suffering however brought fear into the land and although the Viking's were mighty their consciences were drooping. They chanted and chanted trying block out the guilt; the regret but every victim left a stamp, a scar. They slowly turned to madness one by one and so they continued, hollow and heartless walking through the icy, snowy forest like clockwork. I can see them.
a bit dramatic no?
Yo...I love your vivid imagination and descriptive words. Methinks you practice creative writing?

I always have had a strong feeling deep down ever since I was little always missing the feeling of being free both in spirit and mind running across open land living for a purpose breathing in the freedom from each new breath being one with something bigger than all of us at first I thought it was just a childish thing but so many people feel it deep down I now know it is our ancient spirits calling us home humans are meant to live like everything else meant to be free but we have strayed from the path of who we’re are truly meant to be that’s why so many people long for nature long to be free once more because we know that voice will always want us to come and seek home but since we have strayed it’s painful both for every creatures soul and the earth I will return home one day I will someday I hope all of us can.
Exactly this ! I was never able to put it into words this way.
Music is the best thing humanity ever invented. It speaks without words, and is understandable to any heart. I'm not the one of the northren folk, yet I find these vibes enthralling, I wasn't born to the forests and chilling sea, yet I hear their call in these notes.
The music, better that any other thing, makes you understand that at our cores, we are all the same. Same species in the one big world. So different, yet so similar.
