This man has an incredible talent- he has managed find the oldest, most beautiful traditions and brought them to light - to then uses his voice to bring out the purest, most ancient parts of our souls. Parts that remain untouched, causing grown men to break into tears and women's hearts flutter. This man needs a million times more recognition then what he has.

I guess this is what it feels to be homesick about a place you've never been to. I love Vikings and the Old Norse mythology!

[@guineanord]

Kind of felt that same way, so being American I did the next best thing and moved to Alaska. That's about the closest you're going to get a Norwegian landscape in America. I wonder around the wilderness and carve the Gods into unalive trees, runes and sorts. Plant new trees, and just become one with nature.

[@reggaehippy1]

Heed my words, all classes of men You greater and lesser children of Heimdall You summoned me, Odin, to tell what I recall Of the oldest deeds of gods and men The sun turns black, the earth sinks into the sea The bright stars fall out of the sky Flames scorch the leaves of Yggdrasil A great bonfire reaches to the highest clouds Brothers will fight one another and kill one another Cousins will break peace with one another The old tree sighs when the giant shakes it Yggdrasil still stands but it trembles Fenrir howls terribly before the doors to Hel The wolf will break its bonds and run Waterfalls flow, and eagles fly overhead Hunting for fish among the mountain peaks I see a hall standing there more beautiful than sunlight. Thatched with gold at Gimlé There bold men will dwell And enjoy cheer throughout their lives

[@odinallfather4560]

@@brandubh11 the translation to english can be found on the original version on Wardruna's account in the info button of Voluspa. It is pretty much the same. Einar took some of the Voluspa from the Prose Edda when Odin speaks to a seer about the future of the Gods and Goddesses of the Aesir and Vanir

[@magythefrog]

The Völuspa (the lyrics here) is an ancient poem of the story of creation and the end of the world and its rebirth as told to Odin by a völva. Of course it speaks to old souls! 😊

[@annichmaadfranio9009]

Einar, thanks to be in this world ⚔️

[@MrTimebomb12]

I can't feel anything else other than an immense sense of proudness for him. There is no way he started Wardruna expecting how big it would become. Sixteen million views on Lyfjaberg and I'm still in shock about it. He really has made the gods proud.

[@Boudicaisback]

Lol so famous

[@saxonde68]

Wardruna is such a primal and deeply human force. But seeing Einar in this modern classical setting only deepens his power. 30 or 40 musicians supported him, and everyone was playing their charge! But he still managed to rise on top and command the attention of the room…

[@ClumsyGeorge]

This man holds his ground against a whole choir... Strong voice and great song...He was the perfect choice to participate on the soundtrack of Vikings ...He lifted those series toward Cult level ( Ragnar too , of course or Mr Fimmel)

As I listen to this breathtaking masterpiece, the only thing I can imagine is an epic battle scene almost like The Battle of The Bastards, but in slow motion, as cinematic as possible. Warriors and their battle cries, shields being shattered, swords clashing, spears flying... Gods, what a view! Anyways, sorry. This arrangement was so on point, so brilliant!!!

[@belchir3971]

It will be a long story, but i hope Wardruna will read it, because i am so grateful for their music. I always searched the reason of my life, of my exist and my place in this world. But i never found it. I always had interest about nordic cultures, about the scandinavain culture. But the true eye opening moment was, when i heard Wardruna at first time. Since that moment - which was around in 2018 - there is no day without Wardruna. Even if i'm not listening the songs at the moment, i hear it, and it is touching my soul.. something ancient. Now, thanks for this amazing and magical music, now i know my place in this world. And i know my soul is belong to something old, to something which is almost got forgotten. I found the Love of my life thanks to Wardruna and Heilung. She is the most perfect women whoever i met. My biggest dream to see and hear Wardruna in live, i hope once they will visit Hungary, or i can visit a place where they have concert near to me. Thank you for your amazing work, and thank you for changing my life!
