My friends, I introduce to you, and welcome you to to raise a horn of ale to...the very first VirbelluM single, Poika -lta VÃfil ja EimyrjaTracklisting1. Poika -lta VÃfil ja Eimyrja - 6:54 - a tale of the Norse ancestor, Viking!
2. Me aari hauska ja me porista - 4:01 - An old Viking drinking song, meaning, we are merry and we sing. Our folk metal adaptation of this!The name Poika -lta VÃfil ja Eimyrja, is in old-Finnish, and it means son of VÃfil and Eimyrja. These two people of the Norse motherland were the parents of the most famous Norseman of all time, the man known simply as VIKING! Viking is from the old Þorsteins saga Víkingssonar, which is one of many legendary stories told of our forefathers. This song is about the life of Viking, and it will give you all a view into why we celebrate our ancestors, why we are so courageous, strong, and most importantly, proud! The cover artwork shows Viking as he has just rescued the Swedish princess Hunvor, and the dead slain giant lies beside him. He was to go on to marry Hunvor's attendant Ingird, and have two children, who are the ancestors of all Norsemen! The single opens with a slow, chunky riff, and then erupts with a gutteral scream from all of the band. A keyboard laden opening riff leads into the opening slow verses, growled by myself, Mikko. When the second part (Bronholm's etc) is sung, we pick up the pace and play a very fast riff with a speedy drumbeat and almost no keyboard. And in the chorus, we have group vocals over a violin and drum combination which is very fast and like the celebrations of the old days. The song finishes with my slow vocal, over a slow violin, before the whole band chant Viking's heroic name! Lyrics(Growled) From the spawn of Eimyrja, a god like power comes Thrust into the world of man, Bereft of care for sons Holger's offspring ripped of breast, taken by her throat Suitors come and are refused, but Holger is too old
Bronholm's strongest, proudest son, Bound by courage to Halfdan Together sailing on dragon! Angurvadel slays all man!
Magic ship Ellida, first longboat of the North Gifted to you by Aegir, the dragon saileth forth A fortress gliding in the sea, bigger than the sun Glideth like an eagle, all races old Ellida won!
Bronholm's strongest, proudest son, Bound by courage to Halfdan Together sailing on dragon! Angurvadel slays all man!
(Group clean vocals, chorus) Te voitto taistella avulla mahti ja pelkäämätön kuulla Te johtua ja te toteuttaminen sinun ennustus Joten kas noin te ehtoa marssia taaksepäin jtk kohti meidän kuningaskunta Avulla hautakivi jalkeilla jalo ja hohtaa katse me edestakainen avulla meidän ylpeillä
(Growled) Sweet Hunvor comes forth from the Swede, and cries to Viking brave A giant hath declared his love, and threats to carry her away. To India, our Viking go, when plagued by stormy seas He challenges that miscreant, and lays the challenges
Bronholm's strongest, proudest son, Bound by courage to Halfdan Together sailing on dragon! Angurvadel slays all man!
Viking slew that giant tall, in deadly dual so free He struck with Angurvadel strong, and brought him to his knees So Viking raised his bloody sword and filled his chest with pride He swiped and swiped that bloody neck, until that giant died!
Bronholm's strongest, proudest son, Bound by courage to Halfdan Together sailing on dragon! Angurvadel slays all man!
(Group clean vocals, chorus) Te voitto taistella avulla mahti ja pelkäämätön kuulla Te johtua ja te toteuttaminen sinun ennustus Joten kas noin te ehtoa marssia taaksepäin jtk kohti meidän kuningaskunta Avulla hautakivi jalkeilla jalo ja hohtaa katse me edestakainen avulla meidän ylpeillä
Te voitto taistella avulla mahti ja pelkäämätön kuulla Te johtua ja te toteuttaminen sinun ennustus Joten kas noin te ehtoa marssia taaksepäin jtk kohti meidän kuningaskunta Avulla hautakivi jalkeilla jalo ja hohtaa katse me edestakainen avulla meidän ylpeillä
(Slowly, clean and with slow Nordic violin in background.) Bronholm's strongest, proudest son, Bound by courage to Halfdan Together sailing on dragon! Angurvadel slays all man!
OOC: I gave the lyrics a pop, very cheesy, lol, but that's what you get with the Viking folk metal I think. |
