- Get our debut album "Kvile" here: eldrim.bandcam...
Eldrim on Spotify:
open.spotify.c...
Presenting the instruments Eldrim use in our music.
"Gnaal" is a bowed lyre (taglharpe) made of spruce, flame ash and bog oak.
Strings are made of horse tail.
Not a reproduction. More a bastard with various historical instruments as it's "parents".
We felt the need for a deeper tone/drone and came up with this creation.
Tuning: D (same as the D on a normal bass guitar)- A - D (octave higher)
Made by Espen Winther (Eldrim)
Here you can see the whole process. From drawing to sound:

The theme that plays when your village is massacred and you're the only survivor.
Oh ya
It happened here in my village, in Greece, by the Turks. As in many other Greek villages from 1453 to the 20th century

If this isn’t playing at my funeral, I’m not going.
If Metro State doesn't escort it, I won't be there either.
_Pretty sure if this is playing at your funeral you might just come back but ok._
svona mild orð frá mildri sál.
Yeah, over my dead body!
This made me actually lol a bit, thank you
Before playing:
Violinists: "I need to check the tune"
HE: "I need to check the rune"
Jajaja jajajajaj culiado. You make my night
I don't get why i found this so funny
I’m the type of person who likes this kind of traditional metal stuff like this. So fyi if u guys like ethnic metal check this link, the channel where this link is it has the ethnic art metal for those who like kinda rich of feels metal. Thanx

I laughed way to hard at that, you brought me to tears, fucking brilliant
I tilt my hat to you good sir.
I’m in San Diego listening to this and suddenly the sky is now overcasted, there’s a shape of a long boat in the clouds, the sea is grey and churning, and in the distance... ships...

It's called Fleet Week.

Odin send his regards
FOR VALHALLA!!!
Why did this actually bring me to tears. It's such a beautiful song that makes me feel like i'm connecting with my ancestors. Thank you.
Thank YOU!
I really hate comments like these. 100% pure cringe
@Crusis I know, right?? All these candy-asses getting _satisfaction_ and _fulfillment_ in life. Like wtf?? GET WITH IT, AM I RIGHT?
I felt the same too! It got me in my feelimgs as well. Such a very powerful song.
@@PhyreI3ird goddamn 🤣
"Shall we play a round of gwent?"
Challenge Accepted
Indeed!
Herbs shmerbs, how bout some gwent?
*stares into the distant horizon*
The instrument you hear in the witcher is actually a nykkelharpa
It's hard to give a single word to the sound, it's just so haunting, ancient and raw with an almost sinister beauty. I love it, gave me chills.
I want to imbrace this but it hurts my heart for the recent loss I've had to endure. You're mastery of said funeral march has known no equal.
So this is where black metal came from
yeah pretty much
Black Metal came from England. Deal with it.
think he just went it as a joke ^^
arien clarke kvåle I'm sure, but it's just a really common misconception that some people (especially in the pagan/viking metal scene) have been happy to perpetuate. Bathory, Burzum and other bands act like they've never heard the name Venom before, meanwhile Jonas Åkerlund let slip they took their name from Countess Bathory *the song* rather than the historical figure.
I didn't mean to come across as super agressive, but it's just such a common error that it gets old.
sry i dont know that much about the history of black metal. i just knew that it was not made i Norway. and he just seemed to make a joke about it cus it sounds so dark, and scary.
Love this. It's got to be the most non-metal, metal instrument ever! 🤘
Thanks!
I just imagined Vikings coming down the river on their longboat. They emerge through Some low laying fog. Everyone one the river bank is running & screaming. This music is playing over the top
I just can’t get enough of this song! It’s magical!
My ancestry is from the scandinavian area and hearing their instruments, language and about the culture is something I've always felt a connection with and loved. A christian man as I may be and my faith will not change as i have experienced too much to believe otherwise I still am drawn to these things. Love your playing and the instrument you played 🙌
@@caterpillar1936 actually Judaism is Jewish, but close enough. Christianity is more Hebrew based than Jewish
@@caterpillar1936 Hebrew is a word for jewish spoken language. You aren't wrong. Christianity was started by the jews.
@@caterpillar1936 I agree. Not really fan of that cultural and religious colonialism.
I'm Athabaskan and I LOVE Scandinavian music and culture and I am a Christian as well but Nordic/Viking music is so entrancing to me. I love it all!
This speaks to my soul and beyond, to ancestors and heritage. Played with every fibre of your being, thank you for sharing.
When i watch this video for the first time i start shacking, my hearth started bounce like hell and i almost start crying.This is beutiful music.
Thank you! Some words inspire more than others and yours are in that category :)
This is haunting and beautiful, and I truly love it.
Thanks a lot!
Your very welcome 😃
god the lyre is such a beautiful instrument. Such a commanding yet comforting tone.
That. Tagelharpa is one of the Best sounding and also most beautiful
looking that I have seen yet! Would love to see the Build process of that one
Link in the information section.
@@ELDRIMmusic thank you
Really Great First time i hear a solo instrument with so much rhythm inside
Appeared in my feed without reason. Not upset about it. I do enjoy this perhaps a little too much.
Back again for my irregular listen to this. Still awesome and inspiring. I now have two tagelharpas and a gudok. My interest in bowed folk instruments started here. It doesn't get better than this.
Довольно тревожная музыка... Но так за душу берет...
The thing I like is that it also emulates (even elevates throatsinging) with the notes. Amazing, thank you ELDRIM.
Least suicidal Scandinavian
Thank you for specifying what instruments were used
The atmosphere created is a really well appreciated extra step
This is really intriguing, as geographically the tone of the melody with the drone underpinning it all, sounds very similar to N. African, Middle Eastern, Indian and Afghan traditional scales. I'm enjoying this immensely, thanks for posting.
This is an impressive instrument, the deep and impure drone creates a feeling of beeing sad and broken fitting the songs title very much. Also it's very unique to use Horsetail as strings. I think this instrument could be of great value for nordic folk and for cinematic music. But I think it's relativly difficult to play it. Should I ever learn to play violin, I could imagine buying one. I like it.
Well other instruments like the Morin khuur use horsetail strings but it's indeed impressive to use horsetail as strings
Oh god, so beautiful
beautiful, everything
Thank you!
Я могу отметить вашу игру и суровый внешний вид... И то и то.. Очень Обворожительно!
Особенно мне врезался в глаза крест, православный крест!
Миру вам и вашему дому!
love the dark under tone sounds like some one humming in away...
Excellent ...
Extraordinary
Imagine marching to war with hundreds of men playing these all in union terrifying to bad that wouldve never actually happened
Dictator spoony They used cow horn trumpets. Makes a powerful sound.
And all wearing crosses to kill pagans. Right?
Deus Vult! \[T]/
Oh boy, here we go again...
jmlawson86 A shame it was the pagans who got fucked, wasn’t it lad?
This is my ringtone now...I am fully prepared for what awaits humanity in the future - see you all on the other side.
Mesmerizing
I WANT MORE!
More will come to those who waits ;)
Wow what really great music
Sounds like tuvan throat singing and strings all in one glorious crescendo
I love lyres, in Bulgaria we have one, very widely used, it's called gadulka and can create very lively but also sorrowful sound. This was very interesting to watch.
Fascinating instrument-I love it 🥰
Such a badass sinister looking man
Bar starts closing:
" You don't gotta go home people but you can't stay here"
this video made me grow a beard
this feels like something strait out of a medieval film!
I wonder if the first people to invent instruments like this know they're not creating music, but creating a whole culture and history.
"Hey, Morag! Wait until they get a load of THIS at the town's next story-time bonfire!"
I love that low growl it emits, like almost a snore. I'm glad I found this channel.
Also, that instrument looks like it was on some episode of Vikings. You should name it Floki (tee hee)
"Last time...on Vikings..."
There's just somethin in these older instruments that awakens my long dead ancestors to start head bangin in my body
Beautiful and sad....just as the first day it was played.
Mega 👌🏻...Das Instrument werd ich direkt bauen 🤘🏻
This is more metal than metal it self
Those fretless free floating strings would be so difficult to play with the left hand wow
I can feel the wind in my hair,
the rain on my face..
The older I get the more I hear the call of my fathers and mothers.
Charlie Hane agreed my friend
I agree
“Lo there do they call to me”
i feel like i just drank some mushroom tea and am about to be crowned may queen
Enjoy
Eldrim? A subtle combination of ELDer scrolls & skyRIM. Nice :)
You can do some cool string bending with this instrument. Reminds me of mongolian music.
It has it similiarities with the morin khuur indeed.
I have not seen one of these since my SCA days~
Love it
*Great sound*
My lyre ✨🙏❤
Uheldig navn, men fin lyd : )
Heavy metal is not what you hear in hell, this noice is.
@Big_Lenny v1 So you agreeing with me.
TH-cam compression isn't doing this justice. You can definitely hear the distortion and fuzziness with an instrument like this.
This is the most grim looking man I've ever seen
Lovely drones
This is like the exact opposite of the dulcimer, it's beautiful
this instrument is soo underrated
i luv u 😍😍😍 in central asia we have kemanche and ghaychak . ❤much luv to my mountain ppl all over the globe
Heavy metal at its core
Hell yeah man
mental image of surviving soldiers all pausing for a moment in silence while some bard just strolls through playing this

The runic inscription on the strap is Old Norwegian Runes. I am more familiar w/ Elder Futhark but the runes are similar.
Huz Zit Knal:
Hagalaz Urus Algiz/Elhaz (reversed)
Algiz/Elhaz Isa Tiwaz
Kenaz Nauthiz Ansuz Laguz
Individually I know the rune meanings but I am keen to know what the inscription reads - possibly: "rain strength, protection and keep creativity from freezing with the fire of Kenaz and depth of Laguz"?
Younger futhark: HuR (Hagal, Úr, Ýr) - Mit (Madhr, Íss, Tyr) - Gnål(Kaun, Naudh, Áss, Laugr)
Hur mit gnål = Hør mitt gnål = Hear my nagging. (hense the sound of the instrument ;) )
Hagal: hail (frozen rain)
Úr: downpour (rain)
Ýr: yew/bow
Madhr: man/human´
Íss: ice
Týr: Tyr (the god)
Kaun: furuncle
Naudh: misery
Áss: god/Odin
Laugr: ocean/sea
@@ELDRIMmusic That makes more sense. Thank you for responding and clarifying. I should familiarize myself with your language more. Just bought the album!
Thank you very much for your suppoort
well done Torstein
I’m not sure if I’m scared or pleasured, this was an oddly satisfying video
I just came across this video and this amazing instrument. I must say that I’m seriously drawn to this instrument and would love some information on how to get one. Thanks for the video, absolutely amazing!
Ok, now I'm going to sleep with the lights on after listening to this...
Love this xo
WOW!
I wouldn't have guessed the pitch to be as low as it is...but it does remind me a bit of a Hardanger fiddle.
This is what I hear in my head driving to work
This lyre has the blackest, driest, most badass sound I've ever experienced
Its because the strings are made of a horses tail which makes them get a deep dry sound, in sweden its called "tagelharpa"
Huh. Thanks for the fun fact
It’s more than just the strings of horse hair lol, they really just put those on and mentioned them to have the lyre be as time period accurate for the type of lyre and song played. that hardly played a role in it getting a deeper tone. It literally tells you in the description if you bother to read it, that they specifically built the body of this lyre to be designed for deeper tones that a traditional lyre wouldn’t have.
coolio diablo good story bad tone
@@cooliodiablo6117 its called tagel, horse tail. Youre partly wrong and partly right, as the description said the construcion of the body is made for a raspy sound, but the vibration of horse tail is more rough than if you compare it to a violin, and if horse tail strings are stroked with horsetail its has this deep vibration. We have 2 of these at home
*Slaps Lyre*
"This bad boy can fit so many tortured souls of the damned inside it"

I read this in the majestic voice of John Rhys Davies, AKA our lord and saviour Gimli son of Gloin
I read that in Morgan Freeman’s voice 😂
I WLL TAKE YOUR ENTIRE STOCK!
This literally sounds like the fate of an ascendant to a Malazan god who is known for playing this instrument.
must have been a real privilege to get an actual medieval wizard resurrected to play that beautiful instrument for you
Homestuck is good.
shaun03a He’s clearly a Viking elder
not medieval, viking, here in the Nordic countries the middle ages begun when christianity spread
JOHNS CORNER WHOOOOSH!
Well he’s a white male so what did you expect
This dude looks exactly like the kind of person that'll play something like that
Except for the cross, vikings were not christian
@@Replicanna-rl6zg
You need to read up on history.
Christianity gradually took over as a religion during the viking age.
@@ELDRIMmusic I know, but I doubt any viking would wear a metal cross around their neck. The religion spreading started with the farmers, not the warriors
The religion started with the chieftains and other people in power when they realised how it could help to get more power and wealth.
@@Replicanna-rl6zg this has literally never been a case in history of any country

This smells like a thunderstorm and pines, maybe cedar trees. Mossy, earthy and raw. I like it.
I smell ist man
i smell odin
@@asmrbully6980 ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I smell a blood from a really edgy horror movie
I don’t know what the fuck that means but it’s correct.
I think sometimes people get too caught up in the "Skill" of music, playing complicated instruments and bashing out notes in super fast rhythms. There is something primal, and natural about a simplistic ancient instrument played in a calm slow rhythm.
I agree, somethings about it make it so smooth and calming.
It creates atmosphere. So does the droning and dissonant sounds
"I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 licks once; I fear the man who has practiced one lick 10,000 times.
"
Yeah, but too with instruments as guitar or piano, you can make atmospheric music... Be fast isn't the most important thing in music, in my point. Create an ambience, a scene, express something, it's the most important thing.
Yes to these comments about the atmosphere of music, but you seem to think that playing this instrument or any of these more simplistic old pieces is easy. It is not! The man playing the tagalharpa is propably atleast decent in the violin too.
This might get buried in the comments on a 6 year old video... but... Thank you for this. My father died last week... and he's being cremated today. There's something incredibly... comforting in the sound of this instrument.... so thank you.
My deepest condolences!
Music is a very individual experience and may both be comforting and healing to some.
Honored to be a tiny part of something positive in your loss!
Thank you for your comment!
For Eldrim: Espen ❤
My condolences as well. You're right, there is something comforting, and majestic, and dignified about this music. I've shared it a number of times with friends who have lost a loved one. Peace and strength to you, my friend.
Sometimes all you need, is a solemn string instrument playing in your ears. Hope he got sent off, with alot of ppl to remember him by and that held him dear.
I am sorry for your loss. May your father rest in peace
Condolences 🙏
When I hear this song I can feel that it has a lot of sadness behind it like there's a brooding darkness over the strings and it doesn't sound like a regular sad song it sounds like genuine misery
very well expressed !
Sounds like something I'd expect to hear in The Witcher 3. Very interesting musical instrument.
I'm not sure if this was used, but I think they used a hurdy gurdy for some of the music. That instrument has a similar 'scratchy' tone and nice drone notes. If you don't know about the hurdy gurdy, I suggest you look it up. I think you'll like the sound.
I'm pretty sure they may have actually used a tagleharpa of some kind in the soundtrack. But I'm not 100% on that
The Witcher series was inspired by two cultures. Slavic and Anglo-saxon. Why do you think you can actually pronounce the character names? Geralt, Yennefer, Cirilla. Perhaps you should visit Britain more often. I bet they have some nice folk festivals with similar music.
@@mikshinee87 Slavic and Germanic* (Anglo-Saxon is one of the sub-groups of the Germanic culture group along with Scandinavian, Low Country, Alpine and German culture). These two groups share much in common.
or a plague's tale
The tension created through the dissonance of the drone note under the melody is beautiful.
Miles Williams it feels.... primal. It doesn’t feel smooth and refined, like a polished piece of wood. It feels, primal, simple, old, and like it hits something deep inside you.
so it sounds good?
@@gregoryfilin8040 I know what you mean it feels ancient...it feels like some sort I can't describe it, feels like pain and sorrow but it also seems very wise
Well. A wet fart sounds better than splashing diarrhea. But it doesn't make it better.

The drone reminds me of throat singers
Albin9000 if you search "morin khuur" you will get most similar mongol enstrument.
Batzorig is a great throat singer
Plot twist: the drone is from DJI.
True! It also reminds me of corsica music, such as "Comme Un Souffle A Filetta"
I think because it has similar multi-tonal harmonics
