Vígríðr, meaning ‘battle-surge’, is a large field foretold to host the battle of the Gods as part of the events of Ragnarök. The album explores the sagas which dive deep into the last events of Ragnarök. 

Most of the songs on the album are in Old Norse, apart from Wulf Ond Eadwacer and Middangaerd, which are in Old English. These are Gealdýr’s first renditions of Old English literature.

Lyrics (Old Norse) 

Ek sá Baldri, blóðgum tívur 
Óðins barni, örlög folgin 
Stóð of vaxinn völlum hæri 
Mjór ok mjök fagr mistilteinn 
Fagr mistilteinn

Blóðgum tívur, blóðgum tívur 
örlög folgin, örlög folgin

-

I saw Baldr, the bleeding god
The son of Odinn, his destiny set
Famous and fair, in the lofty fields
Full grown in strength, the mistletoe stood 
The mistletoe stood

The bleeding god, the bleeding god 
His destiny set, his destiny set

Baldr

The existence of the “nine worlds” is mentioned in passing in a poem in the Poetic Edda.
The nine worlds are believed to be:
Midgard, the world of humanity
Asgard, the world of the Aesir tribe of gods and goddesses
Vanaheim, the world of the Vanir tribe of gods and goddesses
Jotunheim, the world of the giants
Niflheim, the primordial world of ice
Muspelheim, the primordial world of fire
Alfheim, the world of the elves
Nidavellir/Svartalfheim, the world of the dwarves
Hel, the world of the eponymous goddess Hel and the dead

Lyrics (Old Norse):
níu man ek heima, níu íviði, mjötvið mœran fyr mold neðan.

jörð fannsk æva né upphiminn,
gap var ginnunga,

níu man ek heima, níu íviði, mjötvið mœran fyr mold neðan.

Lyrics (English translation):

Nine worlds I knew, | the nine in the tree. With mighty roots | beneath the mold.

Earth had not been, | nor heaven above,
But a yawning gap

Nine worlds I knew, | the nine in the tree. With mighty roots | beneath the mold.

Danheim & Gealdýr - Níu Heimar

While facing hardships in his own life, Jonathan Barendsma (Gealdýr) began to understand the healing power that music can have on the soul. Barendsma, was keen to share his story through music. Inspired by the Poetic Eddas and determined to bring the Old Norse wisdom back to life. The name Gealdýr was inspired by Barendsma’s sighting of a white deer in a turbulent phase of his life; it is a combination of the Gaelic word ‘geal’ (white) and the Old Norse word ‘dýr’ (deer).
