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 is a thousand years old.
Hey, yea this is an iconic band with an outstanding performance. In my view they slaying it compared the the rest of teh enteries. Listen to it agan and notice the faint backing vocals. That is Agnete (from Djerv) who also sing on the Dimmu Borgir song "Gateways". There are black metal vibes to that backing choir. Check out the Gåte music video "Svarteboka" (black book), that also feature Djerv. You will get that dark norwegian metal feeling. Great reaction man. Thanks
@@miiyu69 Oh did you misunderstand? We all know that Gunnhild is teh vocalist in Gåte. Djerv is doing the backing vocals that you hear in teh faint background. Gunnhild and Agnete (Djerv) is also doing a duet with the song "svarteboka". You should know this :) Cheers
Gåte is pronounced “Gaw-teh”! This band is very professional and has played together for over 20 years! They have won several Norwegian Grammy-awards! Love the song Ulveham, definitely a contender to win Eurovision 🥇❤️
Gåte equals more or less enigma, riddle or something like that. But the meaning goes deeper as well :) Ulveham roughly translates to wolf in sheeps clothing
no.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%A5te_(band) Some facts about the band and the instrumentation. This is an amazing band. My Number ONE. The voting was a catastroph.
He paid attention. There are so many out there that stop sooo many times. I think this was one of the absolute better. And it's a reaction video. Sometimes you just feel the need to react 😁
You should definitely check out their back catalogue! My favourite albums are their first two - Jygri and Iselilja. Amazing vocals and the perfect folk-rock mix 👏🏻 Btw I was there for this - absolutely brilliant!
Nice video! It was definitely the right year for you to see what Norway sends to Eurovision. ;) Definitely check out more by Gåte. If you liked this, some other newer songs like "Huldra" or "Svarteboka (ft. Djerv)" are good places to start! (But definitely also check out older stuff, like "Knut Liten og Sylvelin (Iselilja)", "Du Som Er Ung", "Sjå Attende", etc.) ;) The Italian Sanremo Music Festival is similar to the Norwegian Melodi Grand Prix in that it's the event that determines which artists the country sends to Eurovision. And Eurovision takes place in whatever country won the finals the previous year.
I am surprised that with some reaction videoes..and none has mentioned the background "noise"..as in those are extreme metal vocals. I love that small detail, however faint it is. Or..there is something wrong with my hearing 😂😂
th-cam.com/video/OnNjBs6ULlE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=jDdA7ys-fgOUtEc4 One of my all time favourites by Gåte, this clip gives you an idea of their live performances 👏🏻👏🏻 their concerts are EPIC 🙌🏻
@@northernlight8857Yes, “ham” definitely implies that you take on a shape that isn’t your original form. Loki was a “hamskifter” and that translates to shapeshifter
@@ahkkariq7406 No. Its riddle in the strictest sense of the word. Loosly you could interpret it in the direction of enigma. But the dictionary definition for enigma is : a person or thing that is mysterious or difficult to understand. In Norwegian you would say mysteries or mystisk. You could use the word gåtefull for enigma but it's not entirely accurate as a translation.
I don't think that's the case, I think everyone is entitled to there own taste. Discovering new music and talking about it simply doesn't make one less informed then the rest of the world. In fact it takes Americans to talk about the rest of the world to bring artist normally people would look over into the light. :)
This has nothing to do with San Remo. This is from the national MGP finale held in Norway to decide who will represent Norway in Eurovision. This won and will be norways representant.
@@jenspettersen7837 Your welcome to give me any proof of that. No matter if thats a fact or not, this performance has nothing to do with San Remo 2024.
@@jenspettersen7837 You are absolutely right. When EBU took on the challange to get up with a concept to unite Europe after WWII in 1956 the San Remo festival was an inspiration. And still today this is how Italy choose ther artist to join ESC.

Yes, my grandmother used to do that in the mountains. I bet you could hear her voice for kilometers. :)
my mother was a budeie(maiden) during the summer season and did that too :)@@jeschinstad
Thanks to Norway rock is still alive in Eurovision.
I totaly agree on nordic women singing!

The vocalist in Gåte, is not the same as i Djerv!!! What are you talking about?? Get a grip, and stop spreading misinformation

What you're looking at is folque rock beautifully done ❤️ ETA look at the backstory, it's full of emotions.
Folk lore, yes!! And the lyrics!! 😱🥶😖 You need to check it out! The title means wolf furcoat

Ulveham is wolf skin
How to pronounce "gåte": (goth - th) + (tell - ll)

i really dont like reviews like this that stop the song to talk.. talk during or after.. dont stop!

You talk too much, do the talking after finishing listening to the tune.

Her voice is amasing
When You say their band name GÅTE, think of the band MÅNESKIN. They have the same letter Å.
"Gåte" = Riddle
Ulveham = wolf fur/wolf skin
check out "Svarteboka" (The Black Book)
Ulveham can also mean shape-shifting into wolf/werewolf
@@northernlight8857Yes, “ham” definitely implies that you take on a shape that isn’t your original form. Loki was a “hamskifter” and that translates to shapeshifter
Enigma would be a more correct translation of the name of the band.

@@northernlight8857 Vi bruker begge deler. "Det er en gåte" eller "Han er en gåte" er et vanlig, norsk uttrykk.
❤Gåte❤
Takk fra vårt hjerte i Gåte 🙏❤️❤️❤️🍀
It's amazing how little Americans know about the rest of the world!

In fact it takes Americans to talk about the rest of the world to bring artist normally people would look over into the light. :)
I saw them live back in 2001-2002, so they have been around for a while.
Good intuition...
Good reaction.
They're a great band. Dark folkrock based on old Norwegian scarytales of curses, magic and mystic creatures.
Loved the earrape intro
Tusen hjertelig takk ❤❤❤
This has nothing to do with San Remo. This is from the national MGP finale held in Norway to decide who will represent Norway in Eurovision. This won and will be norways representant.
I believe the concept of Eurovision was inspired by the Sanremo Music Festival.
