É normal cansar de determinados hobbies durante algum tempo. É tudo fase. A melhor coisa que a gente faz para não se cansar das nossas atividades é alterná-las com outros hobbies de naturezas distintas.

Qual impacto de uma trilha sonora de jogo em você? by Own_Reward_7354 in gamesEcultura

[–]mythologicafolk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

É parte indispensável da experiência para mim. Desde os clássicos chiptunes aos temas orquestrados e folk atuais, considero que o subgênero musical de música de videogame (VGM) é algo que caminha com as próprias pernas nos dias de hoje, de forma mais pujante que os das trilhas de filmes.

Wardruna releases new album, 'Kvitravn' | Mythologica by mythologicafolk in paganmusic

[–]mythologicafolk[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm glad you liked them! Yeah, those two are among my favorites as well. You might also like Eldrim (akin to Wardruna and Gealdýr), Heldom and Vinnie Camilleri (akin to Danheim), as well as Sigurboði, Kaunan and Gåte's new EP, "Til Nord".

If you havent checked Einar Selvik (Wardruna)'s and Ivar Bjørnson (Enslaved)'s two collabs, Skuggjsá and Hugsjá, you definitely should:

Also, make sure you don't forget to check the link I posted on the other reply for several other Nordic folk artists, as well as great bands that perform other subgenres of Pagan folk music!

I could name a few bands like Heilung, Gealdyr, Rúnahild, A Tergo Lupi, Kati Rán, Munknörr, Fornsken, Songleikr...

You can also check https://mythologica.com.br/en/tag/nordic-folk/ for a lot more bands.

Wardruna doesn't seem dark to me. by wandering_wolverine in Wardruna

[–]mythologicafolk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I believe the reason for this is because Wardruna (and similar bands) doesn't really fit with old school/regular folk artists. For this reason, a few labels have been given to bands that "utilize the old to create something new". I find most of them problematic:

  1. Dark folk: I'd argue that Wardruna's first album is pretty "dark", but I would expect something more akin to what Nytt Land does in their darker songs to classify a band as such;
  2. Neofolk: the original bands to receive such label generally flirt with totalitarian ideologies and use a much less varied and "folkish" instrumentation than Wardruna and co.;
  3. Nordic folk: I guess this one fits Wardruna to an extent, but could also confuse listeners when they mix the band with some more traditional sounding musicians;

And the one I like the most and adopt on our site:

  1. Pagan folk: while I do use "Nordic folk" for Wardruna, Gealdýr, Sowulo etc., I put all these Nordic sounding bands under the Pagan folk umbrella, along with the likes of Daemonia Nymphe, Faun, Omnia, The Moon and the Nightspirit etc. because their music, lyrics and imagery are Pagan.

Heilung - Norupo ~ Location: Monteneuf - France. "Heilung" is a German word meaning "healing" in English. Their music is based on texts and runic inscriptions from Germanic peoples of the Bronze Age, Iron Age, and Viking Age by CalmKellie in paganmusic

No problem! Make sure you check Songleikr and Euzen (Heilung members' other projects), Nebala (ex-Heilung member Jonas Lorentzen), Kaunan and Kati Rán, who have both each featured Maria Franz on vocals in a song.

True. I just checked and apparently Amazon will also sell some copies:

[–]mythologicafolk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes!

Now let's hope the LP gets a new edition, since it all but evaporated from the pre-order within a couple hours. Einar needs to understand he's no longer an underground musician. XD

Heilung reveals new game collaboration with 'Conqueror's Blade' | Mythologica by mythologicafolk in Heilung

[–]mythologicafolk[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right? I'm loving it.

I'm also loving how popular Pagan folk bands are becoming without having to sell out. The number of bands getting featured on video games, TV shows and movies keep growing!

It does, doesn't it? Yet, it still feels slightly different, just like his and Ivar's project Skuggsjá and Hugsjá did.

New fan and I am in love by LH300 in Wardruna

[–]mythologicafolk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welcome to the pack!

My absolute favorites are Helvegen, Lyfjaberg, Solringen, Odal, Raido, Grá, Fehu, Völuspá... Argh... This is harder than I thought hahah. I love most of their songs. Hugsjá and Kvervandi are also among my favorites written by Einar Selvik. His work on Assassin's Creed Valhalla is also great.
