Volibear is one of the 3 demigods of the northern area called Freljord, so that's where the power you're getting from this comes from. More specifically though, he represents the primal side of nature and hates that the people of the land are leaving these roots behind for civilization, so that is why there is sadness and rage in his theme. The Fiddlesticks theme does some really interesting things with people's voices because of the character, so I definitely recommend looking at that one!
Noteworthy that the 3 are just the 3 we've been directly introduced to this far. There are others, we just don't know much about them yet. Like the Seal Sister. We'll likely get more info about them when Udyr's rework is released.
fun fact the language they used in volibear's theme is an ancient frejlordan, the language is also used on ornn's theme(the path to hearth-home) ps.the language is made up for the world of runterra (league of legends world)
Ancient freljordian is based on old norse, while modern freljordian which you can hear in Ornns teaser trailer is a mix of all the scandinavian languages. It is actually understandable for scandinavians.
@@vergil8833 It actually makes sense that Volibear wants to make freljord to embrace its old ways, such as returning to the wild etc. thus using old norse is a beautiful detail. While Ornn is more humanitarian and helps people to develop and survive with his forge and lyrics of his song is modern Scandinavian.
I will forever be impressed by your ability to correctly infer a characters lore, personality, and even sometimes gameplay just from the first few seconds of their theme. Idk if it's just the skill of the composer or your incredible musical intuition, probably both. Great work as always Marco!
Lore nerd here! Volibear is the Freljordian (basically League of Legends world Scandinavia) demigod of thunder. There are others and they are all related, Anivia the Cryophenix, Ornn the Fire Below the Mountain and the Iron Boar (not a champion as of now). I'll keep this brief, Volibear wants to return humanity back to primal times when pure strength and survivability were key, he got into a fight with his brother, Ornn, because he slaughtered Ornn's followers (reason behind Ornn now living alone and forging beneath a mountain, god of fire and forge). It seems that right now, Volibear is lending his power to the Ursine and other tribes (this corruptive primal power) that transforms the user in their warped image of the demigod. The sadness you feel is because he doesn't truly hate his brother, it is just conflicting ideals between the two god's that forced them apart. To the point that he chooses to fight without armour, aka to have only HIS strength be what drives him on. In Ornn's world's, Volibear made the first ever river, which was made of blood from just how many he slaughtered. The demigods will slowly but surely start to return in a more active form due to a ongoing threat, but for now Volibear is THEORISED to be encased in ice, Anivia is just flying about and creating snow in order to stop the threat which is beneath the earth, and Ornn is still forging and grieving in his own little stay. We don't know what's up with the Iron Boar as of yet.
wait holly crap I know that singer. Einar Selvik hes in a group called Warduna and they do like viking music which I think is really cool. He did the assassins creed valhalla ost along side 2 others. Hes got such amazing voice I love a lot of his work. I dont play league but have friends that do and I had no idea he was in it lol. Just man I love his voice and a tagelharpa together. Just some of my favourite music game or not.
Oooh league music, glad to see you branching out with such fervency, personally I'd love if you could check out Pantheon's theme in particular. There's much more music that doesn't come to mind, but this is probably my favorite.
Really awesome you decided to check out a League song, they have a lot of genres its hard to name them all at the top of the head. Champion themes for Taliyah, Yorick and Tahm Kench are also really good, thought I can't wait to see you react to Jhin's theme aswell. If you decide to react to more League content, well, you're gonna have a field day with it. Keep up the great analyses 👍
Raw power and sheer strength are definitely apt descriptions of Volibear, "unrelenting force of nature" as well as "dominant masculine rage" also are pretty spot on. I think your comments about internal darkness and suffering are interesting as well, because the gist of this character's story is that he is a primordial war god, but in modern times his people are forgetting him. A point I think is relevant to bring up is that his brother Ornn is one of the forces bringing the world into modernity as a god of the forge and craftsmanship. So they're fierce, bitter rivals, but if Volibear kills Ornn in game he has a voice line that implies immediate, deep regret. *"Ornn's blood on my claws. Surely, there was a reason. Surely, this is just..."* All this to say I'm impressed that you can not only pick Volibear's surface traits out of his music, but also some of his deeper struggles. Equally as impressed that the composer can communicate these themes as well.
Hey I just wanna say that I love you reactions, your discussion about whatever Music your listening to, and the insight you give is something to look forward too. Best wishes man and looking forward to more of your content. 🍻
With Volibear being a giant bear (which is already a powerful creature) that is capable of controlling storms in a harsh unforgiving and cold region, you're looking at a very powerful character and I feel the Nordic singing with the deep masculine voice is very commanding and strong and really conveys the raw strength and power of Volibear. If sounds had a state of matter the singer's voice would definitely be a rigid solid strong and unbending which I guess is fitting for the harsh cold region Volibear is from too.
Awesome analysis!! I love that you get the character right just by listening to their song or theme, If you would like more league songs, I suggest these themes: Jhin, Ornn's (The path to heart-home), Lucian, Fiddlesticks.
Heya @MarcoMeatball - bit late, I know but the lyrics do have a translation. [Verse 1] The sky rumbles deeply, knowing him As the thunder calls out “Valhir!” A memory of ancient and faded glory Beckon from ages past, ever near [Chorus] Vorrijaard calls you! And the wild heart within By tooth, and with claw, will return! When Vorrijaard needs you To answer the call Rise now! Together we stand tall! [Verse 2] The ground trembles deeply, awaiting him The wind howls, carrying the reek of iron And earth, starved for centuries, shall soon drink The rains of war another time [Chorus] Vorrijaard calls you! And the wild heart within By tooth, and with claw, will return! When Vorrijaard needs you To answer the call Rise now! Together we stand tall!
Now that you did one of the brothers, also react to the other! Check out Ornn's theme, it's also one of the best from league. Also, maintaining the region, Braum's theme is also one I would love you to react.
This is a really interesting reaction, from an angle you don't really see. Fantastic stuff, especially how you are blind reacting to the character solely through their music. Also I see everyone is throwing out more League character themes so I'll add a suggestion for the theme for Neeko :)
That eldritch form you see in the video is canon, as a demigod, The Volibear shows himself as the people who summon him know him, there is a cult of people, The Ursine, who see him as this, a Thousand Pierced Bear, a beast of pure caos and savagery.
I love these break down videos! If it's not too much, next for League stuff can you do Kayle and Morgana, the Righteous and the Fallen? I love the angelic feel of the twin angels of justice.
Einar Selvik is the Singer. He is the Main Singer of the Band Wardruna and he is also in a scene in Vikings. He is an amazing singer. He embodies the pride of the north and is a perfect choice for this song.
I love your reaction and the depth you find in the music ! I’m a long time World of Warcraft fan and it’s also a game where you can find amazing musical piece and it would be amazing if you could react to it one day ! I’d recommend « Seasons of War », « Time change » or the Ashenvale Theme. Keep the good work, it’s always a delight to see you appreciate these underrated musical pieces !
Did you see kindred's theme? They are twin spirits creating a one entity and in their them there are two instruments calling and responding to one another.
Interesting that you said in opera there is an overarching story and that you're impressed that you hear the same multiple facets for a singular thing. There is indeed a story behind Volibear's theme, and you would have much more material to unpack if you listen to his brother's theme. His brother is Ornn, and he also has a full theme made for him. There is a strong contrast between the two and it'll be fun to watch you see and compare.
He is better than a giant bear, he is the literal incarnation of the storm, he is the God of the Storm. The Lyrics are in Norwegian, composed by Einar Selvik
The lyrics are not in Norwegian but in Ancient Freljordian, which is conlang that's basically a mashup of the Northern Germanic languages, I'm sure that anyone that speaks Icelandic, Swedish, Norwegian, or Danish could recognize a couple words from the song
The language is "freljordian" a fake language that incorporates about 10 different dialects from the "Viking" cultures from Iceland to Norway and everywhere around. There was a really cool behind the scenes video about it, and how they made a effort to not be majority of just of if these dialects.
Volibear theme did a great thing to represent three defining traits of his character: power, rage and godhood. Put that with his name and you can get the sense that he is a powerful bear god filled with rage!
You should totally check Freljord theme from League of Legends also I would like to see a reaction for Jinx theme also from League of Legends!! There are so many legendary themes to check out!!!
I am ashamed that, despite me listening to Wardruna a whole lot on a regular basis, it took me this long to figure out the voice of the volibear theme vocals is Einar Selvik. This man is an absolute legend
bro if he describe the character based on what he hears without knowing anything for real ? he got real super powers lol awesome...he describe voli as it is ...a rage forgotten god.
I know I'm late, but if no one has mentioned this yet. The language used is "Freljordian" which is made-up and was created by combining Icelandic and Norwegian if I remember correctly.
the Vocals is make up lang...they combies alot of thing to created this ancient nordic sound vocal. is started with Ornn (volibear's brother) also Volibear true name is unknown to us... peoples call him by many name Volibear is like a Slang of his tittles. they are taller mountain.
League of legends? Dragontrainer Tristana and Kindred have great themes (among other). Lol does a pretty good job with their music. Also, nice to see you have some linguistic knowledge
The thing about League champions is that they're very simple characters. Most are not one note, but they can be explained in a short sentence very effectively. In this case, Volibear can be described as: wild, raw, untamed. He's a god who looks back fondly to the days when man was a hunter who lived by proving himself superior to other animals in a test of strength and skill and denounces the comforts of "modern" life.
*:')* This is a fantasy language inspired by northern ones. I dont like Voli and had no idea what the lyrics are or how to pronounce them, but i found them and tried my best to replicate how they are pronounced in the song, so i learned to sing it.
Its great to see you bring the music angle of the song you analyze, but, i do thing your videos would greatly benefit from some research and experience into the origins of the songs. Especially with how well you get the character just by the listening to the themes, an end of video where you look into the characters themselves would be great. League has stories and bios for its champions, which to be honest most are just great pieces of media by themselves.
Riot Music, a music company that owns a small indie company: Riot Games, that makes a small indie game, League of Legends (this is a meme) "Is this nordic" No. This is Freljordian the language spoken in Freljord, one of the regions in Runeterra. Freljord is basically our world Scandinavia so there most likely is some "speech" (idk what the right word is) taken from the Scandinavia languages but it is in its own right its own language
this is a really good champion theme, btw this languase is old freljordion a made up languase from where volibear comes from. the hard north land of the game.
As others have said, the language is a made up one called Freljordian. Valhir, which you hear a lot in the song is the Freljordian name for Volibear, who is their demigod of the storm, lightning, and the wild.
Wow! I'm honored by the kind words and deep dive into the piece!!! What a lovely surprise tonight! :)
You're the real deal? Damn! This piece really helped me through a tough time, pretty epic
AUSTIN?! WINTORY?! HERE?! I LOVE YOU DUDE!
I love Volibear's theme, amazing job!
My pleasure, Austin! You’re amazing. Glad you appreciate it. :)
Holy shit, I didn't know this theme was by you! Great song as usual! :D
"I am a god. I cannot die. But do I live if I am not in the hearts of warriors?"
"Ornn's blood on my claws. Surely, there was a reason... Surely, this is just..."
The singer is Einar Selvik. He’s part of a Norwegian group called Wardruna that do Nordic music
Yup - fantastic stuff.

@@bloodknyte There are already 4, the Iron Boar was never show but was already mentioned.
@@joaopedrocruz6432 that'd be 5, I couldn't remember that one, I already mentioned a fourth one
@@bloodknyte There's also Seal Sister and Fallow Fox! And some Lynx, but I can't remember the full title.
honestly he needs to react to Orns theme just to hear what he thinks of the juxtaposition of the two
fun fact the language they used in volibear's theme is an ancient frejlordan, the language is also used on ornn's theme(the path to hearth-home)
ps.the language is made up for the world of runterra (league of legends world)
Ancient freljordian is based on old norse, while modern freljordian which you can hear in Ornns teaser trailer is a mix of all the scandinavian languages. It is actually understandable for scandinavians.

@@vergil8833 I wouldn't call it understandable. You can pick out a few words here and there but a lot of it is just gibberish, atleast for a swede.
@@glizzygobbler3046 For a norwegian quite alot of it is understandable. Might also be because the singer is norwegian.
@@vergil8833 Same for an Icelander, since we basically just speak old norse with an accent most of the words are quite recognizable
I will forever be impressed by your ability to correctly infer a characters lore, personality, and even sometimes gameplay just from the first few seconds of their theme. Idk if it's just the skill of the composer or your incredible musical intuition, probably both. Great work as always Marco!
Thank you strapps! :)
Music truly " *bears* " (pun intended) a lot of information, you just have to listen carefully

Don't forget the Seal Sister. There is also the Seal sister
@@Whysoshort i was gonna say, you cant forget the 5th
@@Whysoshort Seal sister is going to be a weird champ lol
@@AthaxDesigns if we ever get her qwq
I recommend also listening to "Jhin, the Virtuoso" if you haven't already
I second that. Aside from Volibear's it is my favorite.
And Pyke and Pantheon and Kindred and Camille, a whole lot of champiosn have amazing themes
Also Dark Cosmic Jhin theme as well. Such good music.
Yes
@@vanquisher4700 Oooh and Samira's theme
wait holly crap I know that singer. Einar Selvik hes in a group called Warduna and they do like viking music which I think is really cool. He did the assassins creed valhalla ost along side 2 others. Hes got such amazing voice I love a lot of his work. I dont play league but have friends that do and I had no idea he was in it lol. Just man I love his voice and a tagelharpa together. Just some of my favourite music game or not.
also he made music to Vikings TV show if anyone wonders
The singer is Einar Selvik whom is a Norwegian singer making old norse music.
Would love to see Ornn's theme since he is Volibears brother, would be very fitting and they compliment each other very nicely
Oooh league music, glad to see you branching out with such fervency, personally I'd love if you could check out Pantheon's theme in particular. There's much more music that doesn't come to mind, but this is probably my favorite.
Pantheon's theme is actually the first league theme he reacted to =)
@@Ksilrinda Well damn guess I've gotta go watch it then, thanks for that lol
Never heard that theme before but I got goosebumps. The sheer volume and power the theme develops was staggering.
Thanks for covering it.
definitely gotta do fiddlesticks' theme. Love the insight into the music you give
Also I could be wrong, but I believe the language being sung is freljordian, an in-universe language thats a combination of a few nordic languages.
Really awesome you decided to check out a League song, they have a lot of genres its hard to name them all at the top of the head.
Champion themes for Taliyah, Yorick and Tahm Kench are also really good, thought I can't wait to see you react to Jhin's theme aswell.

0:13 keep it like that dude lore and the music is awesome, community in the other hand...
As long as he doesn't play League he'll stay sane 😂
9:08 That bit sounded like Ornn's theme (Volibear's brother) or song "Path to Hearth home"
Amazing video, flawlessly grasped who the character is through music! Really hoping for Ornn some day!
For sure!
Raw power and sheer strength are definitely apt descriptions of Volibear, "unrelenting force of nature" as well as "dominant masculine rage" also are pretty spot on.

League music is so underrated it's a shame they removed login screens
Volibear is among my favorites in league. He is raw power, a straightforward force of nature - and this is in every his fiber.
Oh HELL YEAH man, League has some amazing music, glad to see you get to it.
W8 THAT'S AUSTIN WINTORY??? Lmao i didn't knowwww XD
It is not just music, it is also an art.
Beautiful...
Hey I just wanna say that I love you reactions, your discussion about whatever Music your listening to, and the insight you give is something to look forward too. Best wishes man and looking forward to more of your content. 🍻
Thank you for the affirmation it means a lot
this is my favorite character theme music in the game... is just so powerful and "ahhh" provoking
With Volibear being a giant bear (which is already a powerful creature) that is capable of controlling storms in a harsh unforgiving and cold region, you're looking at a very powerful character and I feel the Nordic singing with the deep masculine voice is very commanding and strong and really conveys the raw strength and power of Volibear.

Yo like this song actually low-key slaps. Kinda surprised but also very glad you listened to it!
Heya @MarcoMeatball - bit late, I know but the lyrics do have a translation.
[Verse 1]
The sky rumbles deeply, knowing him
As the thunder calls out “Valhir!”
A memory of ancient and faded glory
Beckon from ages past, ever near
[Chorus]
Vorrijaard calls you!
And the wild heart within
By tooth, and with claw, will return!
When Vorrijaard needs you
To answer the call
Rise now! Together we stand tall!
[Verse 2]
The ground trembles deeply, awaiting him
The wind howls, carrying the reek of iron
And earth, starved for centuries, shall soon drink
The rains of war another time
[Chorus]
Vorrijaard calls you!
And the wild heart within
By tooth, and with claw, will return!
When Vorrijaard needs you
To answer the call
Rise now! Together we stand tall!
Awesomeeeee
Ayeee more league reactions! Spot on with the character analysis as always! Fiddlesticks, the ancient fear is another great theme to listen to.
Now that you did one of the brothers, also react to the other! Check out Ornn's theme, it's also one of the best from league. Also, maintaining the region, Braum's theme is also one I would love you to react.
Ornn has 2 theme. 1 is with lyric and the other is just instruments
I was literally listening to this. What a timing.
Hope Anivia gets her own theme someday. New scriber here
Sure thing!
I liked so much your analysis also Volibear is a champion very strong full power of storm
I love this music is so epic
greetings from Ecuador
hola!!!
The singer is Einar Selvik, you should check out his music band called wardruna. They're all about viking & nordic musics.
Einar is fantastic! He should be tagged in the about section :)
This is a really interesting reaction, from an angle you don't really see. Fantastic stuff, especially how you are blind reacting to the character solely through their music. Also I see everyone is throwing out more League character themes so I'll add a suggestion for the theme for Neeko :)
That eldritch form you see in the video is canon, as a demigod, The Volibear shows himself as the people who summon him know him, there is a cult of people, The Ursine, who see him as this, a Thousand Pierced Bear, a beast of pure caos and savagery.
Thanks for the video!
Okay at this point you read all his lore before the video because everything is exactly on point immediately
I just finished high school and next week's saturday is graduation, therefore, as a Volibear main, I am entering the ceremony to his theme.
F ya
I would've loved to see your reaction to the visuals in the "Animalistic sound/Hearing the bear" section
-Jhin, the Virtuoso
-Ornn, the fire below the mountain
-Fiddlesticks, the ancient fear
When the patreon gets to these for picking,please do it
😏
I love how you put that joke in the timeline too xD
I love these break down videos! If it's not too much, next for League stuff can you do Kayle and Morgana, the Righteous and the Fallen? I love the angelic feel of the twin angels of justice.
Einar Selvik is the Singer. He is the Main Singer of the Band Wardruna and he is also in a scene in Vikings. He is an amazing singer. He embodies the pride of the north and is a perfect choice for this song.
I love your reaction and the depth you find in the music !
I’m a long time World of Warcraft fan and it’s also a game where you can find amazing musical piece and it would be amazing if you could react to it one day !
I’d recommend « Seasons of War », « Time change » or the Ashenvale Theme.
Keep the good work, it’s always a delight to see you appreciate these underrated musical pieces !
😅 wow is def on my list
dont forget invincible and a call to arms
Speaking of the dialect in the music brought to mind "Sankarin Tango" from Control. It is worth a listen.
Did you see kindred's theme? They are twin spirits creating a one entity and in their them there are two instruments calling and responding to one another.
aaah the freljord, aka the coolest region from league
ICYMI, the language in the theme is Freljordian - a made up language for Runeterra. Also, Jhin's theme is a must XD
Interesting that you said in opera there is an overarching story and that you're impressed that you hear the same multiple facets for a singular thing. There is indeed a story behind Volibear's theme, and you would have much more material to unpack if you listen to his brother's theme. His brother is Ornn, and he also has a full theme made for him. There is a strong contrast between the two and it'll be fun to watch you see and compare.
It’s on my to do list for sure
they got wadruna´s singer for this? o.o damn, that´s cool, because their music is epic, and it fits the champion´s theme 🤩
I really hope you do the same with Ornn theme!
7:29
Look, he's learning Slav/Nord accent!
You should watch Ornns theme, his brother (the teaser version)
I recommend also listening to his Brother Champion Theme, Ornn!
Amazing analyzing! I would love to see your opinion on the Ornn theme, which is my most favourite! :D
He is better than a giant bear, he is the literal incarnation of the storm, he is the God of the Storm.
The Lyrics are in Norwegian, composed by Einar Selvik
The lyrics are not in Norwegian but in Ancient Freljordian, which is conlang that's basically a mashup of the Northern Germanic languages, I'm sure that anyone that speaks Icelandic, Swedish, Norwegian, or Danish could recognize a couple words from the song
You never heard Austin do stuff like this? Have you skipped his THREE albums for The Banner Saga series?)
Yes lol I’ll have to go back!
The language is "freljordian" a fake language that incorporates about 10 different dialects from the "Viking" cultures from Iceland to Norway and everywhere around. There was a really cool behind the scenes video about it, and how they made a effort to not be majority of just of if these dialects.
5:23 "Capable of memeing and killing."
Volibear theme did a great thing to represent three defining traits of his character: power, rage and godhood. Put that with his name and you can get the sense that he is a powerful bear god filled with rage!
HE SAID IT HE SAID UNRELENTING
You should totally check Freljord theme from League of Legends also I would like to see a reaction for Jinx theme also from League of Legends!! There are so many legendary themes to check out!!!
I am ashamed that, despite me listening to Wardruna a whole lot on a regular basis, it took me this long to figure out the voice of the volibear theme vocals is Einar Selvik. This man is an absolute legend
bro if he describe the character based on what he hears without knowing anything for real ? he got real super powers lol awesome...he describe voli as it is ...a rage forgotten god.
"' almost rage'' nah its pure rage lol
If you liked volibear, you need to check out Ornn's teaser theme with vs without the lyrics, its awesome
I know I'm late, but if no one has mentioned this yet. The language used is "Freljordian" which is made-up and was created by combining Icelandic and Norwegian if I remember correctly.
Ah! As I learn the lore this starts to make sense
You should check out his brother's theme song - ornn's theme
Awesome react Marco! You should check out Pantheon's theme music too, you're gonna love it! Its just as epic as Volibear's
I have :)
the Vocals is make up lang...they combies alot of thing to created this ancient nordic sound vocal. is started with Ornn (volibear's brother)
also Volibear true name is unknown to us... peoples call him by many name Volibear is like a Slang of his tittles.
they are taller mountain.
Nice to some more League themes. Gotta echo the sentiments of some others, Jhin's theme is one of the best and I really hope you'll react to it.
Definitely recommend listening/reacting to the Freljord music if you enjoy this!
League of legends?
Dragontrainer Tristana and Kindred have great themes (among other).
Lol does a pretty good job with their music.
Also, nice to see you have some linguistic knowledge
Part of the job ;)
I get a feeling of 'honor in war' vibe
The thing about League champions is that they're very simple characters. Most are not one note, but they can be explained in a short sentence very effectively.
In this case, Volibear can be described as: wild, raw, untamed. He's a god who looks back fondly to the days when man was a hunter who lived by proving himself superior to other animals in a test of strength and skill and denounces the comforts of "modern" life.
Interestingly the music is hardly one note though!
I would love to see your thoughts to a brighter tomorrow from stellaris. That game has an incredible soundtrack
I love the folks at paradox. I’ll def have to!
*:')* This is a fantasy language inspired by northern ones. I dont like Voli and had no idea what the lyrics are or how to pronounce them, but i found them and tried my best to replicate how they are pronounced in the song, so i learned to sing it.
Can you please do Ornn theme next
I´m sure you´d find "Renata Glasc - The Chem Baroness" theme interesting, check it out. It´s also from league.
Its great to see you bring the music angle of the song you analyze, but, i do thing your videos would greatly benefit from some research and experience into the origins of the songs. Especially with how well you get the character just by the listening to the themes, an end of video where you look into the characters themselves would be great. League has stories and bios for its champions, which to be honest most are just great pieces of media by themselves.
Maybe someday but these first 70 odd songs were tasked to be blind reacts and blind reacts they shall be.
Camille - Steel Shadow next please.
I highly recommend looking into pykes theme, and kindred.
I'd love to see you react to Braums theme.
I still like it though!!!!!!!!!
also Vollibear 1st time seeing a kitten:
"WHAT THE..?! WHAT iS THAT?!"
"is that a cub..??" (⊙_☉)
The language is called Freljordian and is a made up amalgamation of Nordic languages.
Riot Music, a music company that owns a small indie company: Riot Games, that makes a small indie game, League of Legends
(this is a meme)
"Is this nordic" No. This is Freljordian the language spoken in Freljord, one of the regions in Runeterra. Freljord is basically our world Scandinavia so there most likely is some "speech" (idk what the right word is) taken from the Scandinavia languages but it is in its own right its own language
this is a really good champion theme, btw this languase is old freljordion a made up languase from where volibear comes from. the hard north land of the game.
this song made me play League of Legends. but i end up mainly playing Ornn.
Hei the pantheon theme so cool to.. 👍
Can I suggest listening to Kindred's theme? I think its really good and it'd be interesting to see you take it apart
PLEASE DO FIDDLESTICKS NEXT ITS SO WELL MADE
Volibear is Thor if Thor were a bear.
the Aatrox theme is rlly good
His theme sounds very heroic to me.
Best theme ever !
(Jhin's being 4th ofc)
As others have said, the language is a made up one called Freljordian. Valhir, which you hear a lot in the song is the Freljordian name for Volibear, who is their demigod of the storm, lightning, and the wild.
Singer sounds like Einar Selvik. I might be wrong but sounds is so familiar.
