I am Norwegian and I could not be prouder of my culture. All of the Nordic peoples are passionate.The music is a large part of our culture. It is the spirit of the Earth speaking through her children. This music is spiritually awakening and awe inspiring. The lands are beautiful and the history is ancient, deep, and rooted. Truly strong and powerful blood flowing through me I will say this though; I know that people today tend to pride themselves in whose problems are bigger- but what connects us as human beings, is that in our suffering- we are fundamentally the same- we all feel hurt, we all struggle at some point. So I realize that what I struggle with, what you struggle with isn't cause for pity but empowerment- when we harness that same fundamental aspect of humanity within ourselves we can unlock our true potential- at the end of the day we are all equals

Not to be a buzzkill, but how about being proud of something that you actually achieved? Being born in a certain race or a country, doesn't make you any special. I wouldn't be proud of being born with moles in my back or with predisposition to type II diabetes. That's how random and inconsequential is to be proud of your nationality and ethnicity.

Trill MT are you proud of your father? When you were a kid did you brag that “my dad can beat up your dad”? There is more than one type of pride. I am proud of my race in the same way children are proud of their parents. I want to live up to my ancestors hopes, and I am proud to be connected to such a wonderful culture. This doesn’t make me a hateful person in the slightest.

Out of bloody nowhere, at 1:00 AM I start reminiscing this tune and song. Without remembering where I heard it or what it was called I rummaged through all my watch history and ventured the vast internet with nothing but 'nordic, viking, female nordic' to go by. Alas I have found you and am happy I did not give up. I regret nothing.

Greetings from Ukraine! This kind of music helps through the toughest times. I had a short touch of Germanic linguistics before the course of History of English at the local Uni. In Ukrainian, we have the word "бинда (bynda)" - a colourful tape that is typically woven in hair, which came from the German "das Band" through Polish. Even here, the "Trøllabundin" has it. The word "troll" I got to know from the Swedish song "Herr Mannelig", oh I love these little connections, they retain some magic from the long-gone days.

I am Bavarian German. I know Germany is not part of Scandinavia…and on top of that Bavaria is south-east in Germany amongst the Alps - so even further from the north… but I know we are all Germanic, and we flourished in tribes. This music makes me feel a certain way. That is for sure. I love how it makes you feel cold but in a good way, like the cold north is part of Scandinavian culture, and how the high, snowy mountains of the alps are a part of ours. This doesn’t just feel mystical, I’m not a foreigner, it’s definitely actually home.

That view and her vocals are to die for. Like Wardruna, this music recalls a time in distant human history when the world was still a great mystery; when we were ignorant to the way things; when gods walked among us; a time of which we will never get back. Now, we simply understand everything, robbing us of the mystery we once knew.
