SKÁLMÖLD - Að Vetri (Official Lyric Video) | Napalm Records

[@NH-zi4jr]

It took me years to realize that the four giant creatures in the music video ( dragon,bull, eagle and giant) are actually a part of Icelandic culture. They're called landvættir (land spirits or literally land wights), the four giants that protect the NW NE SW and SE corners of Iceland.

[@steinarsaem]

As an Icelander I can confirm this. I live in Akureyri wich lies at the bottom of Eyjafjörður fjord. The eagle was said to have been so big that it's wings spanned the whole fjord, wich is tens of kilometers where it's widest.

I can't listen to this song anymore cuz of ur comment

[@jessicapinto3817]

I actually lol'ed 😂

[@AstroManX100]

I *just* realized that the monsters depicted in the pictures of the video are supposed to be the Landvættir (land wights), the guardians of Iceland; 0:36 is Gammur, the guardian in the north, 1:13 is Griðungur, the guardian in the west, 2:33 is Dreki, the guardian in the east, and 3:49 is Bergrisi, the guardian in the south. *That's awesome!* :D

[@alexanderhandjiev2845]

AstroManX100 would you like to give more info about them or nah? :D

[@Biggestofoofs]

I'm a bit late, but this entire song is based around them and a single woman throughout her life-cycle fighting back a hoard of Darkness and evil. These are art pieces featured in the booklet that came with the cd.

Saw them last night with the Icelandic Symphony (22.08.18) and I still have goosebumps from their take on this epic song. They simply must publish a concert-album no later than tomorrow!

I like how þ and ð are obviously incompatible with the font they're using :U

[@stianfiskermann2919]

Nah, þú skilur það!

[@tibiademon9157]

***** well I can see what letters they are, I was just saying that the font they're using doesn't have the letters þorn and eð

[@stianfiskermann2919]

Yeah I'm not so sure about the font stuff I'm a coder but not an artist. Maybe some fallback font I dunno. That happens if they miss in the font set, they revert, dunno if the case here though. Don't care really, just love the song

[@LeonardoBoiko]

Can someone help me with this part?: Gista skúta þar á laun, þeirra mikil þrek - er raun, útilegumenn. I can't reconcile what I find in dictionaries with the subtitle translation. What would be a more literal translation?

[@MrAsdflk]

+Leonardo Boiko Gista means to stay over, skúta is a word for a small boat, þar á laun means there in secret so there is a boat there trying to stay hidden. þeirra mikil þrek - er raun means they have much endurance for real, translated word for word but the gist is that these are good warriors. útilegumenn is our word for outlaws and dates back to when people found guilty of crimes were banished from society and made to live away from other people and hence had to sleep outside. úti = outside, legu = lie, menn = men (duh) so men who lie outside.

[@MrAsdflk]

þeirra mikil þrek - er raun could also mean their trouble is very hard now that I think about it and would fit the context better.

[@LeonardoBoiko]

+MrAsdflk thanks much! you helped a lot!

[@Nifilheimur]

wwwwwaaaaaayyyy late but in this context Skúta id say refers to a cave as in Hellisskúti

[@nightwica]

Sorry, but I hate how the lyric video is fukin BEHIND the actual lyrics, so I can't sing along. I mean, sure, I can look up the lyrics, but a 'lyrics video' here loses its point.... Job badly done. I love the song though

[@nightwica]

Have you tried singing along the lyrics without knowing them and only knowing the pronounciation rules? Try for example around 1.13. The text appears right after or exactly when he starts singing- that way I cannot sing along, since for singing along and the mind reading the text, I need some time, so it has to appear before! I hope I was clear :)

[@nightwica]

You commented on my comment, so you definitely care. And omg. you misunderstood me! NOT the song is fast, but the way the lyrics are DISPLAYED in the video. Are you really this dumb? The song is 10/10, only there is a minor problem with the video itself. Or are you just a really bad troll? I am European, why did you even expect I was American? :D Or AmericanIZED? I don't even listen to American metal... And who the fuck cares you are Scandinavian, seriously?

hehe norseman confirmed, we don't give a shit what you think.

[@copeenthuisiast5453]
