Fun fact spinal spent a couple hundred years walking around on the bottom of the ocean looking for the mask of the ancients.

[@vladtepes2667]

Sounds like something i would do if water ocean water wasnt so filthy.

[@Mr.Foxhat]

So he is a Bionicle?

[@woobiez_]

Most menacing thing I've ever heard

[@grimreaperhenrik]

does he have a lore?

[@ehoffart529]

@@grimreaperhenrik yeah a lot of the KI(2013) characters had an overhaul to their stories. The original was unapologetically cheesy. Spinal wins an Oscar for his role as a skeleton in a movie(Jason and the Argonauts I think). In the new story he's after the mask to free his soul. I think the cannon ending for him is he's taken control of by Kahn Ra to help him destroy Aganos.

[@TheGeckoNinja]

can you imagine how intimidating it would be to see an army chanting this song in the middle of battle and suddenly spinal and other undead skeletons rise from the ground to aid the enemy and seeing your warriors being skinned to the bone all while hearing spinals scary maniacal cackle and screams

[@framedprotagonists289]

My thoughts as the enemy: "Shit, why is their battle chanting so catchy? Someone go pray to that ghost chick" I'd probably then be smacked by a skeleton

[@Pulsed101]

+TheGeckoNinja This song makes it easy to imagine such a battle :D

[@primetyrant2891]

+TheGeckoNinja One does not need chanting to start running away from dead rising. Just remember that one WW1 battle at Osowiec Fortress: Germans waited until 6 August for the right wind conditions. At 4 am, at the same times as regular artillery started firing, German forces used poison gases against the defenders. Thinking that all of the defenders were dead, Germans started advancing. Fourteen battalions of Landwehr - at least 7000 infantry men - were participating in that attack. When German infantry reached the first line of defense, they were counter-attacked by what was left of 13th company of the 226th Zemlyansk regiment (about 60 men). Surprise attack and bloody clothing (Russian soldiers were coughing blood up because of poison gases destroying the lung tissue) put Germans in the state of shock and made them run. The five remaining Russian guns opened fire at this point aiming at the running mass of Germans. European papers called it "The attack of the dead".

[@CodyPease]

I have dnd brainrot. This is a good origin for an undead warlock. You have sold your soul to skeleton pirate king in desperate act to your people. Your patron is a pirate warlord cursed with Undeath,and he wants you in the crew.

[@Zaidon7]

I figured it out. "Slår på sköldar" is "beat on shields". They are banging on their shields like a drum to intimidate the enemy. "Rasslar med svärd och Slår på sköldar" is "Rattle with swords and beat on shields". This army was making a ton of noise.

[@TheAwesomeon]

It would be hilarious if his theme or his ultra was spooky scary skeletons

[@adambaker2232]

according to KI1 he was also previously Thunder Hawks brother who was a famous warrior in life. Although that was muddled when the comic book said that Thunder Hawks brother is Fulgore.

[@Juggalo972]

Doesn't get any more metal than a war cry of chanting, describing the eternal struggle and the wrath you will put upon your eternal enemies.

[@CrazyTasteyPi]

You know... assuming the lyrics are accurate. They sort of paint Spinal as being some kind of ancient hero if you think about it.

[@tusheschannel]

The song and lyrics make me think that Spinal may have once been some sort of Khal Drogo-esque warlord (or some European equivalent), this whole 'lifeless, soulless, baptised in blood' sounds to me as though he was BORN a warrior and leader of men, dedicated to killing and conquering. His god/demon status alluded to in the lyrics, I suspect is born out of reverence for just how mighty he was in life, and they chant and pray to him, that they may too be blessed with his strength.

[@HisDudeness2020]

Wind howling... Choppy, angry sea... Weather worn Skeleton crew rowing relentlessly towards their quaking enemies all while chanting this.

[@joemorones4641]

They need to make a scene of that it would be EPIC AS FUCK💀

[@AugustR101]

I thought Spinal was a pirate!? Like the ones from the West Indies but I guess not! That's still cool though! HE'S AN UNDEAD VIKING GOD!

[@Mystic4477]

The SeaDevil101 that looks like a pirate for some reason (not complaining, just saying) its peculiar.

[@reklem2]

Then again, Vikings were technically pirates... Except more Scandinavian

[@Zaidon7]

I thought Spinal looked like he was wearing a Scottish tartan or parts of a ripped up kilt.

[@DexiduousRose]

The SeaDevil101 He literally has Viking stuff in game. 😑

[@firelord699]

Weren't the Vikings in Scotland at one point, though? Also I think it's interesting how they ask Spinal to become their Chieftain or Warchief. It would make more sense if he became Warchief considering they're going to war, but this would mean that there are multiple clans that willingly call for Spinal's help.

[@grant5758]

Officially the best song of the game given this context

Spinal had no flesh & meat,he nothings but Bone.he bad to the bone

[@Radditz770]

This is a late comment but I realize in the song, they don't sing "Flå" (or to skin) everytime. The majority of the time it sounds like they're saying "Dö" or "Död", which means to die, or dead respectively. Example: 4:08 It sounds like they're saying Dö/Död, while at 3:27 they're saying Flå

[@DarkWestern]

Could very well be the case! Good insight.

This song hits different when you realize Spinal looked like a Harryhausen tribute What a glow up.

[@Nakna_ankaN]

I know I'm very late to the game, but I have to join those that hear two different variants of the chant. At 2:07 it's definitely FLÅ-FLÅ-FLÅ, but at several other times I hear DÖ-DÖ-DÖ (DIE-DIE-DIE). I'm not disputing the fact that these might be the lyrics given by Mick Gordon, but maybe they changed it last minute or something, happens all the time. To a Swede there is a very clear difference between the chants at 0:46 for example and the one at 2:07, surprised that not everyone can hear it.

[@Nakna_ankaN]

Thank YOU for making the effort. Other than the chant which IS very hard to make out, I think you nailed it. So, great job. =)

Spinal's an undead pirate but he became deified by these singers. That's some amazing storytelling through song.

[@SaintAnthonny]

great song and translation. although he does say "Død-Død-Død" sometimes (like at i.e 1:24), and then "Flå-Flå-Flå" (i.e at 2:06)...if you are scandinavian its impossible not to hear that. anyways, thanks for uploading the song, its massively awesome. kudos

[@Mendosa666]

I was wondering why it sounded differently from the other sections like

[@SaintAnthonny]

Dark Western ok well then i suppose me and everyone that is scandinavian and that CLEARLY hears both død-død and flå-flå are completly deaf. dont listen to us...try to hear it yourself lol :D if you cannot hear the difference, then i dont know what to tell you. im laughing my ass off here...im telling you the truth but you wont hear any of it :D

Actually, Sweden was pretty brutal up to just about 400 years ago. xD One wouldn't think it. But they had conquered most of the balcan area in Europe. They even had a hand in what formed Germany and their main issues that led to the first world war (Although to be fair, a lot of countries contributed to that). There are even some statues left in Poland of the Swedish King at that time that was a warmongerer.

Although "flå" translate into skin as skinning, flay would be the correct word for it.

[@賈斯汀霍利迪]

Wait so if Spinal has no muscles obviously then how does his skeleton body become animated without his soul or and residual lifeforce energy? The lyrics makes this song and character make no sense even from a fantasy standpoint. Because the people called forth Spinals spirit to possess his body in revival to aid them in crushing their enemies. So if his spirit inhabits his body from the summoning then how does it makes sense to say in said lyrics that he is "soulless" Very contradictory I must say.

[@dracocrusher]

Framed Protagonists The thing on his shied may or may not be the head of the dark deity of madness, Cthulu.

[@apex2000]

dracocrusher Wow Cthulu got small if that was the case. (don't Cthulu have smaller minions that look kinda like him.... which he could jam on a shield) When i first saw the new shield i briefly thought, it was actually carved wood idol of Cthulu actually part of the shield's material.... and its moving and stuff, was magical animation, kinda like spinal himself.

[@dracocrusher]

apex2000 It could be something like that. Maybe the shield is just like a Cthulu spawn's spirit or something and it's the source of the magic holding him together? Which is why it can just straight-up absorb energy and give him skulls. Because the shield IS the main being or something.
