Oakenshield - Death of Baldr

[@AK4769er]

Epic! So glad these underground bands like Oakenshield are on KZbin. They revealed some bands which I love now. Thanks for the upload.

[@XlVCentury]

Wow! Amazing! Glad that i found this Band/Musican.. Remembers me somehow to the "harder" songs of Falkenbach.. Really like it! Hails from Germany!

[@helsinkivampire8898]

Bought this album a while while back. Just a perfect album to have to your collection. One dude is the entire band. Very talented lad

[@valfar1402]

Insuperable. Esperamos un nuevo trabajo. Pero sin tardar mucho. Por favor.

[@lakai944]

There are so many good underground black/folk metal bands out there.

[@kryp7777]

Awesome song, nice band! hails

[@kleko]

Thanks Guru! This song owns it all.

[@valfar1402]

Maravillosa, increible. Perfecta.

[@2QsharkQ2]

this song makes my fantasy go wild .. it's awesome \m/

[@ColinB89]

good music ;)

[@siggitiggi]

No. Eikinskjaldi directly translating to Oakenshield is from Völuspá in Snorra-Edda. As many other names Tolkien borrowed the dwarven name Thorin and the dwarven name Oakenshield from a religion. In this case Norse mythology.

[@MouthOfTheUnknown]

lovely!

[@bankruptcoffee650]

These lyrics are powerful.

[@Gitarrenliebhaber]

the cover looks very nice :)

[@marlonribeiro8351]

[@magnusbruce4051]

@dunkelheit616 It's nowhere in the Lakes that I know. The scale of the mountains would suggest to me it is Scotland.

[@oysteinfenriz9628]

[@kogaKageOokami]

Muy buena (y)

[@RICKREYSICK666]

Q chingon

[@Demorgorgon]

@FolkMetalPiper if you hold themn next to each other they're really alot different ^^

[@Israfel93]

@FreckleeFacee1 if it's not part of the song, then it's maybe to preserve song's quality (idk how that works, but some people do it)

[@simply_flo]

Of course. Like "Amon Amarth" means "Mount Doom". Many bands get their band names from Tolkien's Middle Earth sagas.

[@Tsumanne]

I've been trying to buy this song for three years now, get on itunes already!

[@MrMetallization]

This is true, but i was not speaking about the themes of this song or the themes of Viking Metal, I was speaking about the name of the band, that (i think) is taken from the Tolkien's universe: Thorin Oakenshield, the dwarf of "The Hobbit". There are lots of band thet take their names from Tolkien: Burzum, Gorgoroth, Amon Amarth, Valar, Cirith Ungol, Morgoth... And these are names invented by Tolkien, not by norse mythology

[@2daewoo4u]

Yes my freind, yes they are : )

[@117425yt]

@AnaheDana it should given its taken at the same place

[@MrMetallization]

In fact i was not speaking about the theme of the song, I know the myth of Baldr, I wrote also something for school about it. I was speaking about the name of the band, taken (I think) from Thorin Oakenshield, dwarf character of The Hobbit.

[@ArchaicWisdom]

Why is there a long silence after the song?

[@bankruptcoffee650]

It's actually just an old trick left over from CD days. It became a tradition in metal at some point. Once in awhile a metal band will put long silence at the end of the last song on an album. There was a Marylin Manson album where the last track is 99 minutes long.

[@chodex1]

to let the epicness sink in

[@totenkopf6580]

awesome song and bans, the fkin OWN xD hahah, could someone tell me where to find the lyrics, if there is some on internet please :)

[@bankruptcoffee650]

Google the song. The lyrics will be at the top.

[@dunkelheit616]

Is that a picture of the Lake District? It looks like it, does anyone know?

[@FreckleeFacee1]

Whats up with the four minutes of silence?

[@OftheNorthRecords]

@ChocolateTheif Same here man.

[@robertstaszko6844]

Same as Summoning, but more folk.. Great idea.

[@Cyberpunk-G]

How is this in any way like Summoning ?

[@KennyFlameOfFire]

True

[@kogaKageOokami]

agreed

[@Osseyki]

The UK, as far as i know

[@WuschelofDespair]

which is a good thing

[@vladvondrakenhof5559]

Hail Odin!

[@iworshipdarkness]

good Song Hail Odin

[@Demorgorgon]

the picture looks alot like Eluveitie's slania

[@Tokhagero]

Inspired by Tolkien? The myth of the death of Baldr is by far previous to the birth of Tolkien... But you're right, ten minutes, it's a bit strange.

[@KennyFlameOfFire]

Think its Tolkien that was inspired by Viking mythology

[@RB621337]

This song makes me want to lay siege to some celts.. an axe in my right hand a horn of mead in my left. Anglo Saxon and vikings ftw!

[@2daewoo4u]

come and gander at the one man band :D

[@mariamimms]

V~

[@lucrecialemes5624]

quienes fueron los 2 que pusieron "no me gusta" ...

[@MrMetallization]

Another band inspired by Tolkien. Beautiful song, but why ten minutes of video?

[@Ataraxian666]

No...

[@GrafBazooka]

insupportable pressé que ca s'arrete :3

[@jp0005jp]
