03 Sverker

Skadi (which translates to "loss" or "death") was an important part of viking culture. Enemies, friends and family had to face death at a certain point in their life, some too early and some too late, so the rumors. Take part in a festive ceremony to honor the death of one of your clansmen and prepare for an unforgettable feast.

Skadi

Fridr is the second album of 2018 by Danheim. 
This album contains a more calm side of the Viking age and is based a bit more on Ambient Viking Music inspired by the daily life in ancient Nordic times.

Fridr

Gealdýr’s ﬁrst album “Sól’’ tells about the creation of this world, the end of it and the rebirth. The ongoing cycle of life. Nowadays most people think that life is very linear, but when we look into Norse mythology we can ﬁnd that even after Ragnarök (The fate of the Gods) life will continue. The old sun will die and a new one will be born. The old Gods die and after that the world is ready for a new cycle to start.

Sól

‘’Myrkviðr’’ meaning dark wood or black forest in Old Norse. Is based on the Völundarkviða poem from the Poetic Edda. 

J.R.R. Tolkien said the following about ‘’Myrkviðr’’

Mirkwood (Myrkviðr) is not an invention of mine, but a very ancient name, weighted with legendary associations. It was probably the Primitive Germanic name for the great mountainous forest regions that anciently formed a barrier to the south of the lands of Germanic expansion.

Lyrics (Old Norse)

Meyjar flugu sunnan, 
Myrkviðr í gögnum, 
Alvitr unga, örlög drýgja;

En einn Völundr sat í Ulfdölum, 
Svá beið hann sinnar ljóssar kvánar

2x 
Myrkviðr


Ríða Myrkvið yfir, 
Meyjar flugu sunnan, 
Alvitr unga, örlög drýgja

En einn Völundr sat í Ulfdölum, 
Svá beið hann sinnar ljóssar kvánar

2x 
Myrkviðr


-


Maids from the south,
Through Myrkwood flew,
Fair and young, their fate to follow

But Völundr alone stayed in Ulfdölum,  
So he waited for his shining wife

2x 
Myrkwood


Through Myrkwood ride,
Maids from the south,
Fair and young, their fate to follow

But Völundr alone stayed in Ulfdölum,  
So he waited for his shining wife

2x 
Myrkwood

Myrkvidr

The song ‘’Ginnungagap’’ tells the story of the creation of all living matter. Before the beginning there was only a big yawning void called Ginnungagap. In the northern part of Ginnungagap lays the cold Nilfheim and in the south the heat of Muspelheim. The process of life began when Nilfheim and Muspelheim met in the middle of Ginnungagap.

Lyrics in Old Norse

Ár var alda þar er Ýmir bygði
Vara sandr né sær né svalar unnir
Jörð fannsk æva né upphiminn 
Gap var ginnunga, en gras hvergi

Sól varp sunnan, sinni mána
Hendi inni hœgri um himinjódyr
Sól þat ne vissi hvar hon sali átti
Máni þat ne vissi hvat hann megins átti 
Stjörnur þat ne vissu hvar þær staði áttu

-

Of old was the age, when Ymir lived
Sea nor cool waves, nor sand there were
Earth had not been, nor heaven above 
But a yawning gap, and grass nowhere

The sun, the sister of the moon, from the south 
Her right hand cast over heaven's rim
No knowledge she had where her home should be 
The moon knew not what might was his
The stars knew not where their stations were

Ginnungagap

The first Danheim & Gealdýr collaboration.
A Viking inspired song about Odin the Allfather.

Danheim & Gealdýr - Odinn

Wardruna's Solringen, I LOVE THIS SONG! I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! 
I vocalized only the first part a while ago.. but I was inspired. All rights ofcourse go to Wardruna, if you like them buy everything they have! :D

Parts of the song are mixed with the original song because I'm simply horrible with percussion and I think it sounds pretty cool. :3

I played the drones and the dreamy spacey sounds are also done by me working happily and crazy on the Tyros 4 (on which I play rarely), all the vocals are done by me and all in all this was just an amazing piece to work on..

I will probably try to make it even more awesome because there's still a lot I want to work on but so far I'm fucking happy okay.

Sola gjekk i ringen, sumaren sende
Hanar galar rismål for alvar i enga

Avl i bringa - Avl i jordi

Hanar galande, galdrar groande
Nornar spinnande, lagnadar bindande
Gudar gråtande, ulvar ulande
ravnar ropande, risar sovande
Skuggar truande, aksen duvande
åkre veksande, soli skinande
ulvar jagande soli flykande

Solringen
