Svartsot Midsommer (Official Video)

[@Kav2990]

Let's be honest, Vældet is one of the best folk metal albums of all time. Hail Svartsot!

[@SvartsotOfficial]

Thank you very much for the kind comment!

[@jelena2710]

I'm getting deeper and deeper into folk metal, I'm so glad I found this band ^^

[@Kjalarrr]

I don't usually like growling, but the folk aspect makes me thoroughly enjoy this band.

[@SvartsotOfficial]

Growling is important to Svartsot due to our death metal influences. But I can completely understand that some people don't like the vocal style. Glad to hear that the melodies save the day though :)

[@Kjalarrr]

Svartsot Official It's starting to grow on me though. This isn't the only band I listen to that grows anymore. lol

[@SvartsotOfficial]

Cool :)

Check out Korpiklaani, very musically similar but clean vocals. (I have no problem with growling though and listen to a lot of death metal)

I find this whole album is pretty much perfect - "all killer no filler" as they say. There's really nothing to complain about, not even the production, which is pretty amazing! I hit play and I enjoy it all the way through to the end. Brilliant.

[@Mocktailmetal]

Here we can see a highly underrated band, in the beautiful land of Denmark, showing true ancient folklore induced heavy-metal. This needs to go up up up!!! And this is the first time I'm seeing a band replying not just one but even the replies of that comment!! So what's the meaning of Svartsot, I'm pretty sure that's Danish word or maybe Swedish word? When can you guys come to USA? And, listening to your albums on Spotify from last 12 hours, can turn me into Viking? Also, it's hard to understand the language, but what are your lyrics based on, Pagan, Vikings, or just folklore stories of locals?

[@SvartsotOfficial]

Thanks for your cool comment and genuine interest! "Svartsot" means "black sickness" in older Danish, but I believe the term is still used in Swedish. In Denmark, it was some kind of liver failure, where the build up of toxins in the body would give the skin a dark almost blackish colour. We have no immediate plans for playing in the US, and the chance has not yet arosen. But who knows what will happen in the future? Regarding the last 2 questions. Our lyrics are about the history and folklore of Denmark. This song is about medieval midsummer traditions (building a fire to ward off evil spirits on the shortest night of the year), thus based on a christian period of our history, but with overtones stretching back to pre-christian times. Our last two albums and the material we are currently working on are set in the Middle Ages, but we have previously used a broader time period, including the Viking Age, but these days we avoid Vikings, as they have become tiresome through mass exposure during the past decade or so (our history and heritage has much more to offer!). And as for our music turning you into a Scandinavian pirate from a thousand plus years ago - I don't think that is possible according to the laws of physics... :D

[@Mocktailmetal]

Thanks for the reply, this is fascinating,... The word 'Svar' in ancient Sanskrit means sun, and 'sot'(pronounced as 'soot') means 'destruction,' so literary sun destruction causing darkness. That's why I found interest in the word. and now that you described the song lyrics, it's the same tradition written in one of the ancient Sanskrit texts called Vedas. it's still, in the present, celebrated in Indian culture (they celebrate between spring and summer). hmmm, interesting what are the odds of connections between ancient cultures?

[@morten99DK]

Was listening while being high, and this song took me from 793 to 1066, like a veeeery long dream, best experience I've had.

Im on a spree to find some more folk metal bands and Im so happy I ended up here. This is an amazing piece of art, not a "song". I love how the clip shows the spirit of the era. I love how the clothes represent you guys. I love how youre all enthusiastic to be there! I love how the rythem just "sits" with everything. I love how Growling is not dead. I love how you made me feel longing for a culture I never knew I want to be a part of. Dont get me wrong, Im a proud patriot, but seriously, lets go out to the forest and grab some wood because we need to ward off evil spirits! You all perform great, and as a bass player, your bass player did a great job!

[@SvartsotOfficial]

Thanks for the very positive and kind words! It is now 5 years since this album was released, so there have been some changes since then, so some of what you see on the video and have commented on are no longer the case. But glad to hear you enjoy our material :)

[@xiaoyu88]

@@SvartsotOfficial I think that's aweomse that you guys still reply to every comment after so much time. I know life happens and I wish your new bass player much luck (after two years, but oh well) :) Everything is for the best. I wish I could be at one of your shows one day. Three questions please, I think its better for me to support you guys by buying from your own site. 1. Do you ship worldwide? I mean, when this worldwide mess will pass.. 2. Its just a paypal link, so you will send it to the payapl registered address? 3. One album (Ravnenes Saga) is missing... :) Thanks!

[@SvartsotOfficial]

@@xiaoyu88 We think it is awesome that people write the cool comments they do, and they should be recognised. Sure, we play because we want to and we play what we want - but people out there seem to want to hear what we play, and is cool to interact with them :). Also those who have less positive things to say, they too are fun to interact with, just in a different way. Regarding your questions: 1) Yes, we ship to everywhere that has a postal system, so pretty much worldwide. 2) Yes, our shop is through PayPal, because that was easiest for us when we had to make our present online store - if you prefer not to use PayPal then feel free to send a mail to us at info[at]svartsot[dot]dk, and we will work something else out. But generally PayPal is cheaper for everyone than bank transfers. 3) We have completely sold out of Ravnenes Saga, and actually also maledictus eris. I can't even remember how many Mulmets Viser we have left, if any. These will unfortunately remain out of stock until all of the terms of our contract with our previous label have expired. They have no wish to press more, and we may not get any pressed ourselves. In this case, digital is actually the best way to support us, even though it supports our ex-label too.

We have also played festivals such as Fiesta Pagana in 2008 and Meh Suff in 2010.

It's genuinely refreshing to find European people embracing their identity with no apologies, and forgetting all that crap about "minority" quotas, affirmative action programs, and all the other shit they keep dumping down our throats. Great song and video, keep it up!

[@SvartsotOfficial]

We'll let you into a little secret. The video alludes to a past that never actually existed in the way we portray it, and is thus not representative of any real identity. The reason why we in Svartsot have claimed to play a type of 'medieval metal' whilst many of our fans - even Danes, who should know better, as they understand the lyrics - claim we represent Vikings, is because none of it existed in the way it is portrayed by us. So basically, the 'identity' is utter bullshit. But you're right - we don't apologise for that.

That bagpipe solo is awesome. Glad I discovered you fellas. I was listening to song radio on spotify and this song came up while I was kicking ass on Dark Souls III. The bagpipe solo (4:00) kicked off just as I finished off the Nameless King, I couldn't have planned a more epic conclusion to that fight even if I tried...

[@SvartsotOfficial]

Thanks for the excellent comment!

Dunno about that, but thanks for the kind comment!

[@jordanross6286]

Blasting this all the way in Alaska. Absolutely love the music. Do ya'll still play live? I'd travel to Europe JUST to see Svartsot. Thanks for the great music.

[@SvartsotOfficial]

At exactly the time you wrote this comment, we were stood on stage for the first time since September last year. But until the pandemic has been subdued some more, we are not likely to play anywhere outside of Denmark, and under strict guidelines at seating-only shows at that. So whilst we really appreciate the positive comment, I'd recommend waiting a while yet, if you do decide to travel 😉Stay safe!

Thanks back!

[@1313carrion]

makes me proud to be Danish

[@MelgaardBosch]

+carrion hue why? :P

[@1313carrion]

because my ancestors come from just Denmark. this music is so bad ass and theyre from Denmark. I love it

[@jamesheasley2980]

+carrion hue Hey I'm Danish too! I am a descendant of Ragnar Lodbrok himself.

[@spookyscarycommieman3168]

Lodbrok was Swedish.

[@SvartsotOfficial]

Regnar Lodbrog is known from the Danish historian Saxo Grammaticus (his history was more akin to retelling of legends rather than actual history) and from the Icelandic Saga about him specifically. According to these sources, he was the son of the Swedish king (Sigurd) Ring, who had become the king of Denmark after defeating the Danish king Harald Hildetand at the battle of Bråvalla. Therefore Regnar was king of Denmark - Sweden is never mentioned as being under his rule, but his adventures take place in Denmark, Norway, Sweden, England and possibly also France. There is, however, no historical evidence of him actually existing. His sons do seem to be more historical (especially Ivar, Sigurd and Bjørn) and are most often connected with the Great Heathen Army that invaded England in the 860's and 870's. They are always mentioned in the sources as being Danish.

For helvede, hvor bliver det godt med noget live musik igen når landet åbner... Den her sang trænger til at blive spillet for fuld smadder!

[@SvartsotOfficial]

Så må vi håbe der snart kan afholdes koncerter igen. Pt satser vi dog ikke på, at der sker noget før efter sommeren...

[@Pluddergnyf77]

@@SvartsotOfficial Og selvom det er træls, er det trods alt bedre at være på den sikre side..

[@SvartsotOfficial]

@@Pluddergnyf77 100% enig! Jo hurtigere vi alle kan få den skide vaccine og kan begynde at leve mere normalt igen jo bedre! Indtil da, må vi drikke os i hegnet alle sammen - hver for sig, eller hvad det nu er, man siger.
