- Here it is. Our newest cover is by Wardruna and is called 𝐇𝐞𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐠𝐞𝐧. 🖤
Now up on all streaming platforms: orcd.co/klandr...
Who's going to sing your name when you're about to leave this earth? This is the message of Helvegen written by Einar Selvik. We love this song, and we wanted to make our own interpretation. This is a homage to a song and a band whom has inspired us tremendously over the years.
Again, like every time, we always work with very talented and creative people.

Thank you for watching. xxx
When i first time heard Helvegen i instantly fell in love with it. Then i found version with Aurora and i was looking for covers, sounding similiar, sadly, there was none, 2 days ago i typed Helvegen cover... And here i am, speechless, lying at bed, in dark room at night, listening to this masterpiece.
We were doing the same thing. So we made one together. x
We're with you, brother. Right here with you lol
It's the best way to listen to this music. In the darkness alone in your thoughts letting the music flow through your very soul.
Amen SeverPL! This cover is beautiful! Ive been hearing it on Repeat for the last hour 😂 Greetings from Denmark 🇩🇰
I had no idea who Wardruna is until my buddy invited me to go see them last year. The first song I listened to was Helvegen with Aurora and am very into both artists. This is such a beautiful cover.
Understood nothing, felt everything...
Who will sing me
Into the death-sleep sling me
When I walk the road to Hel
And the tracks I tread
Are cold, so cold
I sought the songs
I sent the songs
When the deepest well
Offered drops so mighty
Of Valfather’s pledge
I know it all, Odin
Where you hid your eye
Early or in fading day
Still the raven knows if I fall
When you stand by the gate of Hel
And when you must tear loose
Follow you I shall
Across the bridge of Gjöll
With my song
You will be free from the bonds that bind you
You are free from the bonds that bound you
This band, for a none native speaker, is pure emotion. I love it.
aferin lan güzel yorum
You understood through feeling, and that is all that matters
Well put.
This song doesn't end, it leaves you longing to hear it again.
Her voice makes you miss places you have never been to.
Her voice is like glass, clear but sharp. Cuts your heart in a very pleasant way. Love and big respect from Poland!

Hail, Poznan!
First time listening: chills
57th time listening: chills
This song always is stuck in my head. This version just took it to a whole new depth
True😍😍😍🐈🐈🐈
Yeah, man, I'm sorry for saying this, but this is better than the original version or the one with Aurora.
I totally agree with you. every time I listen to it I have goosebumps, and that ending ?? absolutely breathtaking...
No seriously
now im waiting for Wardruna and Kalandra to meet somwhere in between both realizations and sing it together :o
I'm a Scottish guy that's been lurking on this song for years. Tonight I'm drunk and feel the need for a comment. Even the beginning of this song makes the hairs on my arm stand up. I don't understand the language but I feel the power of the message. I haven't dared looked up the translation because I enjoy it misunderstood. The tone alone carries the song.
I know the words and I'm not going to spoil them for you cause you already got it. You got it brother, already.
Cheers from Canada.
You should try Heilung 'Anoana', has the same energy.
@@brennakarleskind-barbie3776 Got loads of them in my favs. Also very good.
Agree - Heilung are incredible and Anoana is wonderful. That and Eivor's Last Kingdom
@@tect777 I think you missed the point.
I almost skipped listening to this, I mean how could anyone else measure up to the vocals of Einar, Aurora and Eivør? I was wrong, Katrine not only sings the words perfectly, what gets me I think is the haunting softness in her voice, clear, mixed with power. This was beautiful art work by the Kalandra. Congrats.
I love them all. They all bring something beautifully different to the song and to how I feel it.
How beautiful... This is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard.... I'm from old Norse...
Lucky you
A mi me encanta casi tanto como wardruna
2:21 Her voice is mesmerizing!! I am so happy to have discovered KALANDRA!! It matters not if we don’t understand the lyrics, the music arrangements, the melody and bien sure, her voice are enough to bring up so many feelings.
I used to want the original played at my funeral. Now I want this cover played.
Weidocu Senocenetli Same
To want to go to hell?
Jakub Woźniak it's "Hel" smh
Exactly my sentiment.
@@jakubwozniak917 It's "Hel" not "Hell", you fucking ignorant moron.
Is it only me or is there anyone else who can't stop listening to this gift of gods?
Same here ... listening almost every day, since I found it.
Me too..this isn't even my kind of music ..but this song , I can't stop lisenting to it..i think I know all the words now..kinda ..lol
I listen to it everyday as well. ♥️
Nope. Can't stop either 🤷♂️
Same here :D
To those who have heard lies and felt the sting of it, the truth shall set you free from their burdens. May your heart reign true, and your path be bright and calling.
Brothers and sisters, i am with you.
Strength be in your hearts.
Peaceful yet awakens the ancestors buried deep within my soul.
I wanna hear the whole clan sing this together:
Einar.
Wardruna.
Faun.
Aurora.
Kalandra.
That would be pure perfection.
Imagine!!! 😍
and Omnia and Dzivia
I hope this will happen someday
and Eivor
The way she say's Odin's name at 2:08 sends chills through my body. Much love, Kalandra, and hail the gods.
I played this song many times while pregnant with my daughter. It’s so deep, beautiful and takes me to another time. I played it today as I rocked my baby while humming along and she fell asleep in my arms. 🥰
I dont have the words to say how heart felt that comment makes me feel.
Yours is the most beautiful comment ❤️ Bless you and your child 🌲
❤
This song says everything. It's all there. Strength depth loyalty honor courage perseverance
..acceptance freedom peace. I wish the whole world would walk this walk.
I agree with you.
The only song that makes me cry for no reason, no matter who interprets it, it's always the same sensation
I love Helvegen, but this version made every hair stand straight out from my skin🙏🙏🙏 Thank you for making such a beautiful version🙏💚
Name of song
SAME!!!
I have decided. This is going to be my funeral song.
Uhm
My 😊too
Word.
tomd my friends the same. but i keep putting it on repeat. so might take a long time befor i die! but when where ever i will be ready
Nice. Mine is Deyr Fé from Gealdýr.
In the following days I have to let to go my beloved dog due to cancer. I cannot tell, how much support this song provides in the current circumstances. :(
Oooh how you both will bask in the stories of your life once you are reunited in the great halls of Valhalla.
Stay strong, that’s what your good boy/girl would want.
Not alone , cruz i felt the same with my dog years ago, and this song i play for me alone many times when i Buried a lot of my Cats that died for many reassons , the where from the streets , but they die knowing home at least for a while in my arms . I shed tears always but also strength . And today i Buried one dog a baby girl so is hard ,i didnt want to write but i Guess i nees It.
Those Nordic voices are always so pretty, powerful and clean. I swear they come out of the womb knowing how to sing that way. Listening to it feels like home.
Me listening to the Wardruna version: 😠⚔️🛡
Me listening to the Kalandra cover: 😢😢😢
I write a lot and I can't help but think of the original as a character singing to friends, and the cover is the gods after that character dies and sing for him
by me the same
I love both. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I believe the ward runs version is covering the male going off into battle, and kalandra is the battle of worry for her husband.
not true
Playing this all day everyday!! 2024 baby!
This voice has got this African feeling like a Scandinavian. Big love Nigeria 🇳🇬
We from the North will accept you as one of our own brothers
Einar Selvik needs to hear this
Odin will send him a raven.
I'm sure he already has
Man I sure hope so this is an amazing cover
he probably has....
I believe he has, since she performed with them for the “Covid concert”…but you’re probably already aware of that, seeing this comment is labeled as 4 years old. Lol
I love how she made the final words from the hávamál (cattle die, kinsmen die,...) more melodic. She put her own twist to it and I love it
OMG This version is MAGIC!!!
Thank you Kalandra for making this music!!!
You are so needed in this world
I never understood why, but first time I heard the original song, I cried after having goosebumps. Now I just looked at the lyrics and I get it. So powerful, so beautiful! Thank you
Touches me deep!
Greetings from a Slavic pagan. Been consistently listening to wardruna for the past year or two. Just found this and damn, this is amazing. Here’s to another two years. May the old gods come back to us. Skål
SKÅL
Skål
Skal!
The old gods never left us, friend.
Skól
Kalandra band and vocal, you have my undying respect and love. What a vocal excellence, it pierces my soul
The Original Soul music, my chills,have chills . Outstanding.
I don’t think this could’ve been done any better. Perfect 🤌🏻
As soon as I clicked and the song started my 2 y/o stopped playing with his toys, approached me and sat on my lap started listening without a blink. And he's a lively little rascal, nothing can keep him still in place for more than a minute. Thank you for the cover. And thank you Wardruna for such amazing music. Love from Bosnia!
If this isnt blasting when my soul leaves my body ima be pissed
Samme.
Redbeans & Rich TRUTH
i was just thinking the same
Truth.
Holy shit, that would be a powerful send off!
Does anyone else love how the bowed guitar sounds beautifully haunting like a tagelharpa?
It's the best, and it really works for this song
To me this song and her voice is a call to live and to live fully - to awaken to greatness in our being - to live with integrity, courage and strength.
The last time I felt this connected to the gods was when i first discovered the song Helvegen. Thank you.
I've never fallen in love with a voice so quickly
Her clarity, control, and power speak of an ancient soul. Welcome back, Katrine. Welcome back.
No matter how many times I hear it , I still sit here sobbing 😭 it’s the beauty of it all
I'm right there with you. I heard this song for the first time (original version) on my way home from making my mom's funeral arrangements in 2022, and although I was holding together through everything, as soon as I heard this, I was falling to pieces racing 120 down the interstate, no sound but the engine screaming almost in sync with the song. Every single time, no matter whose version, makes every single hair stand on end and makes my heart race like my engine that afternoon
Ok so I recently discovered Heilung and that inevitably led me to Warduna. This music has become 100% of my playlist. I'm American and can understand 0% of what what I'm hearing lyrically but yet the music speaks to me in a way that I can't explain. As I lay in my bed listening with headphones it was as calming to me as the voice of my mother singing me a lullaby. I cannot get enough of this so if anyone has any similar bands that I need to hear please let me know.
You could look into Skald (th-cam.com/video/s9NIBZfVBW4/w-d-xo.html ) and Danheim (th-cam.com/video/E8mGWYRcmec/w-d-xo.html ). Perhaps also another project by Einar Selvik (and Ivar Bjørnson) since you are into Wardruna: th-cam.com/video/8n7r341ADwk/w-d-xo.html
Faun
Gealdyr
Your ancestors are calling to you.
I'm black and feel the same way. I can't put into words just how beautiful this music is. Peace and love 💕
Listen to this instrumental by Omnia:
th-cam.com/video/KKwVGqXM8u4/w-d-xo.html
She has a beautiful voice and the language is perfect. Calms my soul
The innocence in her voice has me crying on the floor, so glad i found this
Im so lucky that I found this song! Its now my favorite
I listen to this everytime I'm super down to remind myself no matter the battle or outcome, I'm fighting.
When she starts singing , it's like you become enchanted. It's PURE magic!
Love from Hellas BROTHERS! 🇬🇷❤
With big love to Scandinavia from Siberia❤
such a beautiful voice , a Masterpiece of sounds. thank you so much.
With this cover you managed to capture this otherworldly feeling of Helvegen and somehow soften it and enhance it even more.
Simply amazing.
My thoughts, too.
Helvegen: Valkyrie Cover.
Accurately put
I first heard Helvegen two weeks before my uncle passed away. I drowned my sorrows in this song for days before I even knew what the words meant. When I found out what they meant you can assume how fast my body engulfed in chills. I was singing my uncle into his death sleep. And I had no idea. Its almost been a year, but today I woke up with him heavy on my heart and mind. I just wanted to tell you thank you for this, for this is the first time I’m hearing this aw striking, beyond beautiful cover to Wardunas Helvegen.
I did the same thing with my father
I lost my son one year ago and discovered this song last week. I'm listening to it and crying all my sorrow since then. I'm feeling calmer than ever since my lost. When he died he was 37 years old and since he was a child we called him a Viking. We are Italians descendents and live in Brazil. I first found this song performed on the side of a mountain in Norway by Wardruna, Aurora and Oslo. It gave us the funeral we couldn't give him cause we were so choked. Thanks for all involved!!!
I know gerif all too well. I am sorry for your loss but rejoice for they are all dinning, drinking, singing and waiting for us beyond the gates of Valhalla ❤️⚔️🍻
Sadly, this is sometimes what living is all about.
My father passed and it was much the same.
That and Raido by Wardruna.
Warriors and vikings all.
Love from the US. They remain with us. Their atoms never perish.
🖤
Wow, what an amazing story and testament or your bond.
Something to share when you join him in Valhalla one day.
lady is an angel..and great work men
Those "og når du laus deg må rive" and "yver gjallarbrui" !!! The way she sings these lines is amazing, I'm in love !
This song, this version is the most beautiful piece of music I've heard for years...maybe even decades.
"Du blir loyst fra banda som bind deg. Du ar loyst fra banda som batt deg."
You will be released from the bonds that bind you. You are released from the bonds that bound you.
These lines just make me break out into shivers...
Amazing voices in Norwegian, absolutely deep, Aurora's voice is perfect in all languages, and this song is a masterpiece ❤
That ending though🤯🤯🤯, you guys always fill up my soul every time, much love from Nigeria❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ 🇳🇬🇳🇬
I don't know why.
But this song constantly bring out emotions I never knew I had.
Being a man born in the 70's, it's normal to suppress and be scared of your emotions.
Listening to this song (started with the original) scares me and excites me at the same time.
Scared of letting emotions out.
Excited by the power of a song that bring those emotions out.
Great cover.
Bravo.
That glance to her right as she says "Deyja frændr" (kinsmen die)... Absolutely pure and beautiful just as the song and her voice.
those last 2 minutes brings me to tears every time 😭
It's too good
Oh jes the last part of this song is magic and from another planet🥺🥺🥺
I saw this band recently at Hellfest and gosh what a surprise…Never seen Tv show Vikings but their performance on this song was so emotional .I came for Iron maiden, Sum 41 ect… But this band was a very very good surprise and one of my best memories of this Hellfest 23 edition..and of course that was the only band i didn’t filmed coz i was so focused😢
Her voice is incredible. She should be world-famous. Also the band is great.
Give it time.
As soon as she started singing: chills ran down me spine. Absolutely stunning voice! Love the organ music too! Epic!!
Me pasa igual
Katrine Stenbekk has such a beautiful voice and far much better then Aurora.
Crying, the beauty of it. such a magnificent sound, surely the gods have notice and joined in.!
Respect from Azerbaijan.
Have you ever listened to something so stunning you forget to breathe? This happened while listening to this cover.
Who will sing me
Into the death-sleep sling me
When I walk the road to Hel
And the tracks I tread
Are cold, so cold
I sought the songs
I sent the songs
When the deepest well
Offered drops so mighty
Of Valfather’s pledge
I know it all, Odin
Where you hid your eye
Early or in fading day
Still the raven knows if I fall
When you stand by the gate of Hel
And when you must tear loose
Follow you I shall
Across the bridge of Gjöll
With my song
You will be free from the bonds that bind you
You are free from the bonds that bound you
Cattle die, kinsmen die
You yourself will also die
But the word about you will never die
If you win a good reputation
Cattle die, kinsmen die
You yourself will also die
I know one thing that never dies
The reputation of those who died
Masterpiece
Beautiful
❤🔥
If that's the correct translation, it's beautiful.
Such beauty and purity in these lyrics
Einar would be so proud!
She sings like she means it! And I feel it. And wish i knew about this music decades earlier😊😊
No matter what when I listen to this music I feel my ancestors... love and respect from Las Vegas!
I freakin cried, it was like instinctively. I'm smashing that like button
Andres Velez it gave me chills....so many emotions
first time i cried listeining to music
As soon as she said the translation of "I know it all Odin; where you hid your other eye"... that's what did it for me.
Good to know I'm not the only one. This is strong music that touches something deep inside.
I Jeg trodde ikke jeg noen gang ville høre et så flott deksel av Wardrunas sang, men tnis permiserer sjelen med en følelse av en engel fra Valhalla !!
I do not understand this language, i wish i could but I understand the feelings it is so raw and beautiful.
When music can touch your soul like this and reach the deapest parts of sadness and love, it is PURE 💙
This is absolutely amazing the gods have truely blessed her with a beautiful voice shout out to the band
You know a song is good when it fits its landscape. You're one of the reasons I fell in love with Norway
The Gods /Goddesses and ancestors have definitely blessed you. Hail the Northern Way!
The Mother, Goddess. a masterpiece, truly .thank you, and this weeping, who can explain it?
Absolutely ingenious.
The woman has voice and sings like a goddess. And with exactly the right artists in the team.
I stumbled upon the video by chance and will definitely watch more.
She's the very best. Ever.
I put this in my will for this song to be played as I’m laid to rest.
I am addicted to this song, I play it almost every night before bed, sometimes replaying it more than 1-2 times. I don’t like to do that with my favorites songs because it can make them grow old very fast. But this one is different❤️ this song has an atmosphere that’s a pleasant melancholy. It’s peaceful. I want to learn how to sing this song so badly❤️
I can't stop listening to this track I really love it.
Cuantos Escuchando diciembre 18 del 2021 para mi esta versión es perfecta no creo que alguien pueda superar esta versión esta chica canta como un ángel cada vez que escucho esta canción con audífonos se me eriza la piel para mi esta canción superó la original y también superó la versión con aurora. La chica tiene una voz hermosa que enamora ❤
Wardruna's version: Preparing for battle
Kalandra's cover: Mourning the dead
Wardruna's version also sounds as mourning dead
@@josea.3458 The songs purpose is about mourning the the dead. 'Til helvegen går' - 'kalde føtter' tells you that deaths is upon us and we are moving into Hel.
@@larsvbundli1740 hel, is helheim correct?
@@ghostofsparta1045 Yes I think so
@@ghostofsparta1045 yup
Ive never heard a more perfect cover of anything
I've been listening to this constantly over the last few days. This song evokes such a spiritual connection within me like none other...I feel a longing to have the music be a part of myself and somehow be immersed deeper within it, but sorrow knowing the impossibility of that. If there ever were a song to overcome the fear of death, this would be it. The Wardruna original has been a favorite of mine as well as the performance with Aurora but this one I can't get out of my mind.
This band is awesome and I love this women's voice and talent, passion, etc. Brings a whole different feeling and dynamic to an old song. ❤️ it.
Holy shit. That outro tho? Why is no one talking about that outro?!
I was thinking the same !!
Kalandra's outro is better than Wardruna's
Kalandra really perfected the ending. Loved it!
My thoughts exactly. Who is she?
Yea the Outro is amazing!
5 seconds.
Goosebumps.
Greetings from a new suscriptor, fan and devoted listener.
Most beautifull voice I ever heard!! I can feel this song in my soul,body and mind❤❤❤❤
Any version of this song brings tears to my eyes, great cover
I love this song *so* much.
I want to thank every member of Kalandra and the production team for producing this cover. I wish I could shake every members hand and thank them personally for assisting me navigate a very dark part of my life.
I can't put into words the impact this song has on my spirit every time I hear it.
*HUGE RESPECT FROM NORTHEN RUSSIA!!!*
Legit this song makes me feel like a warrior .. I am watching my sister die .. it's so hard .. I have to stay strong for her kids .. this song helps me stay strong ..i am a warrior
I wanted to edit since my sister did pass away .. we played this at her funeral .. thank you for making such a beautiful song with your powerful voice
I'm sorry.
You are already extremely powerful.
I wish my stupid brain could find the words my heart wants to tell you..
You're a real warrior.
Well she passed you guys .. been so fucking tough I played this for her at her funeral ... My warrior .. I know care for her three children along with my own .. this song still keeps me going thank you for your words
Wow! The last 2 minutes got me in another world! Such a powerful, beautiful voice! I'm speechless.
Well, ima long time fan of Wardruna, but i must recognize, this is better in its own way, this girl is making miracles with her voice.
This stunning performance absolutely baffled me and made me feel connected to ancient times. An already gorgeous song amplified with a celestial voice... Words can't describe this feeling. So I'll just keep playing it over and over again. Thank you for this masterpiece!
I cry...I do cry right now....but I cry with a releef....Thank YOU! I will never forget this....
I rarely am amazed by something, but this song vibrate with me in a very deep way i cannot describe with words.
Hat down. 🎩
Looking from the Faroe Islands. Had goosebumps every second of this beautiful performance. Thanks 🙏🏼
There's still some beauty in this world, thank you so much !!!
I love how they made Håvamål 76 and 77 into a melodic song in the end. Just beautiful
You can thank Einar Selvik of Wardruna for that arrangement.
@@TheRealSkeletor I know Einar Selvik In Wardruna added these two verses of Håvamål, I just like the melodic version that Kalandra did to to these verses.
When cover version is better than original.. ❤
