Their very own combination of traditional folk music and explosive and progressive rock took them from the rehearsal room basement to the big stages in a very short period of time. Between 2001 - 2006 their spectacular live shows, two studio albums, two EP´s and a live album brought them massive success. They sold more than 100 000 albums, went straight to #1 on the national Top 40 album chart in Norway, and they won the Norwegian Grammy for Best New Artist in 2002.

Thank you so much for the reaction video, and all the kind words
Oh Hi, WOW! Absolutely. I am a fan and can't wait to see you all perform and hope you steal the show! Thank you so much for replying, you all are AMAZING!
@DaneBramageROCKS FYI this was a comment from Gåte themselves 😎
@@ghauanI just now realized that. Lol. I'm honored and a bit shocked! But totally EXCITED 😁
@@DaneBramageROCKS Odds are they won't reply further (as is normal) but I want to point out that they revitalized a part of my youth :) I have not heard from them for what feels like 20 years, happenstance... But I remember them. I was shocked to see them again in the national semis, perplexed. Loved every thing about it. Before their return(?) I've discovered artists like Aurora, Wardruna, Einar Selvåg. I'm so glad my fellow Norwegians joined me and voted for them. I'm almost a little kid/toddler again, hearing Sissel Kyrkjebø for the '96 Olympics, or Nocturne from Eurovision decades ago. I can't remember clearly, but I think Gåte "helped" me further discover Muse as well, which I've been a fan of just about since 2000. Edit: Loved the outro riff.
@@SebHaarfagre That is awesome! Thanks for sharing. They music in the intro and outro credits are in the description. A Friend of mine made those, he is here on YT.
Canadian checking in here. Gate are nothing short of magical. I had to check out their entire discography after their submission and EVERY song is this good. Enchanting, haunting, just magical. I love them. So happy Norway picked them.
Yeah I'm digging in myself. I want to see more.
They are also a great live band. Seen them 3 times - first in 2003, last time time october 2023 when they had a maximalistic show at Rockefeller in Oslo. Lots of guests on stage ( other artists, relatives on song and fiddle, and Norway best modern folk dancer). At the accoustic set at one point they had a 25person women choir on the stage.
@@erik5820 whoa, yeah I'm excited just to see what they will bring to the ESC stage but I'll go dig for some of their actual concert performances.
as a norwegian it makes me so happy when i see ppl say they went back nd listend to more of them. the thing about gåte is that they really imbod norwegian folk lore. ofc withthe lyrics, like this is a song based on an old norwegian poem, i asume u’ve seen the story of it somewere online, and the fact that they sing in old norwegian. but more importantly to me, they do it with theyr sond and feel. due to norways landskape being beutiful but dangerous a lot of folk lore is about creatures that are haunting and beutiful, lureing you in to danger. they really do sound like that, and create that feel with theyr stage shows. so it’s not just national pride that makes me happy ppl like you r discovering them, but mostely a coltural one. so glad u enjoy it
@@erik5820 Hey, we were at the same concert last year, then! Gåte was absolutely amazing! Rock on! :D
My grand daughter is 6.5 years, she said This is the best song.. 🤗🤘🏻
Gåte is legends in Norway 😍 Ulveham gives me Eurovision-winner-vibes 🥇
That would be awesome if they won!
Oh, I hope so! I will definately vote for them! Love from Sweden
Indeed! Sorry for bringing the likes from 69 to 70 😎😂
Aurora, Wardruna and now this, are you kidding with me Norway?!!? What an amazing band, super congrats!!! YASSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!
No, they are NOT. They are not legends. Nobody had heard about them before this competition. I hope that Norway don't go through to the final. The only thing she does, is screaming.
I've watched a ton of reaction videos to this song over the last weeks, partly because it's the closest thing I get to re-living the first magical time I experienced this performance, but also because I can't seem to get tired of this song. It's much more complex than the average ESC entry. I hope the national juries recognize its qualities. The enthusiasm of the reaction here is so contagious, and I share it with all my heart.
Yeah this is a great one. I'm really excited to see what they are going to bring to the stage and even more excited to dig into their story and library.
Godt sagt, Erik! Og det er en lettelse å registrere at Gunhild satser på sangen, igjen. Stemmen hennes berører dypet av den nordiske folkesjela: nordmørsk, unik, og derfor universell.
He, kjærei Erik
I legit get goosebumps watching this video! 12 points from Spain, I seriously hope they win the whole contest.
Nice! This year is shaping up to be very competitive. Can't wait to see it.
SO cool to see Gåte get more international attention! Been a fan since early 2000s, they're amazing musicians and a really cool band.
Same. This was an amazing discovery
The way you say the name Gåte, is actually the best I've heard by a non-Norwegian speaker so far 👍🏻 very close to how it's said. Same with the name of the song. I'm glad you liked the song, I personally really like it, and I hope it wins Eurovison 🇧🇻
Thank you! I listened to some dialects to try to get a better pronunciation glad it worked! LOVE the song
I’m really interested in how you got that little 0 on the A, I can’t find it anywhere
@@karlsmith8212 well it's a Norwegian letter so you can find it if you use the Norwegian keyboard on your PC or Phone. Maybe you can try to find it on your regular keyboard on your phone if you hold the lettet a in and can chose from there?
This song has one thousand years roots in norwegian folklore and music. The chorus is the maiden calling the cattle in from the mountains (KULOKK)
Oh that is Awesome! The more I learn, the more I love this group.
Someone online informed me that the story is about the maiden in wolf skin is actually common in all Germanic cultures. That might signify that this tale is far older than 1000 years. It could be from the time the Germanic tribes branched out. Making its origin 1600 years or older.
@@ladythalia227 Germanic tribes shared some common cultural things and mythologies, some of it trickled to the Baltics, some of it into Gaul, before the Romans. Scandinavia was inhabited by at least some people, as far back as 15 000 years. I love Norse culture but proto-Nordic also mesmerize me. Pre-Old-Norse, the culture was even more shamanistic (like Suemonesko of Finnic/Baltic tribes) and it's just interesting how some cultures are so deeply ingrained - changing, but extremely deeply rooted. I'm very very glad this is our contribution this year. I feel a close connection to the very things I feel them represent.
That is BS. We haven't got thousands of years of folk music. That song is a new song. Not an old one.
@@Moffeliten Typisk grinefitte du c:
So Gåte's text is based on and distilled from an ancient ballad about a maiden who lost her mother when she was born, but later got a stepmother. The stepmother was so jealous of the girl that she transformed her first into a sword and placed it in the king's courtyard. However, the girl's inherent goodness also manifested in the sword, even though she had been changed into an object. All the finest knights and soldiers favoured this sword above all other swords, and the envious stepmother then transformed the maiden into a needle. The most skilled tailors loved this needle and sewed the most beautiful clothes with it. The stepmother grew even angrier and turned the girl into a wolf, cursing her to roam the forest forever, unable to rid herself of the wolf form unless she drank her brother's blood. And so it was. The maiden wandered through the woods. For eight years, the stepmother stayed indoors, afraid to venture out because she knew the wolf maiden was out there. But then she became pregnant and wanted to go to church. The wolf pounced on her, seized the stepmother's blue cloak, pulled her off her horse, tore out her heart, and drank her blood and thereby also her brother's blood. With that act, the curse and enchantment were lifted, and the maiden emerged, just as beautiful and kind as before, and returned home to her father.
amazing.. I am left speechless
I was in the arena during this national final, and Gåtes performance made me cry b/c that song and that performance hit my heart & my inner feelings so hard. I'm so immensely proud that we this year sends something to Eurovision that is really true Norwegian culture. This is our music, my music, our heritage so to say. And I must pinch my arm when reading all this love for Gåte and their song, and all those amazing reactvideoes. Thank you for your reaction and video, you've got ypurself a new follower!
That is awesome and sounds like you had ana amazing experience. I am so excited to see them during the show. Welcome to the channel and thank you so much!
The name of the song "ulveham" means more than being dressed as a wolf. It is actually being in a wolfs body . The corresponding shift to a bear is björnsärk (or berserk as you call it in english), more well known maybe. Wearing a ulveham will also make you a werewolf, which are not knewn to be very nice. Actually the song is based on a more than 1000 year old saga in old norse. That saga was picked up by the Grimm brother's which started the saga of Snowwhite which is an offspring of this saga, but far less bloody and more symbolic ....May Noreg win this year (says a Swede)
This is wonderful information thank you. Exactly what I am looking for and the more I learn about the group, the more I love them.
Thank you so much for the reaction! The singer actually sang at my cousins wedding when she was only 14 years old. My uncle helped the band getting started way back. Naturally me and my family were rooting for them! ☺
Whoa! That is great to hear and what a fun connection you have with them. Yeah you should be on their side for sure.
The style of singing Gunhild is doing is called Kulokk a form of herd calling with roots at least a 1000 years back in time. Gåte are very popular here in Norway and they are amazing live
No, it's not that type of song. We who can do kulokk know that the song is not a kulokk.
This is brilliant, the singer has an awesome voice, it's great to see a non English speaking entry perform in their own language too. Trust the Norwegians, just like the Swedish and Finnish, to yet again produce awesome music. I'll be behind the entry from the UK obviously with being English, but this has to be the one to beat... 🤘🤘
Yeah that was great and I loved all the elements that made this. So, I'm kind of glad I don't have a bias and will be able to vote on the performances that deserve it! I'll keep ya posted 🤘🏻
@@DaneBramageROCKShaha I'm not bias, I'm just English and proud... 🤘🤘
@@stebow1977 yeah exactly. If America was in it, I would naturally cheer for them. I don't blame you one bit.
@@DaneBramageROCKSdon't know if you already knew Dane, but yesterday Linkin Park released a new song called Friendly Fire, featuring the late Chester Bennington. It's weird to watch the video and then realise he's been gone for 7 years...
@@stebow1977 yeah I saw this. Supposed to be a special release bonus to their coming soon Greatest hits album.
It's so beautiful to see what good music does to us! Your joy at being able to enjoy quality is wonderful!
I loved their performance tonight. One of my favorites by far
I get goosebumps my self, every time I listen to the song. Gunhild have such an angelic voice, she is awesome to listen too.
Agreed. They are amazing
Gåte mixes Norwegian folk music with rock. It's been a long time since Norway had a song in Norwegian. Greetings from Norway. 😀
Awesome reaction🤘 I’m so proud we’re sending this to Eurovision😍😍 You pronounced Gåte quite well👍 The name gåte means riddle. Ulveham = wolfskin The intro is an old “kulokk” A “kulokk” is how the women called/calls the cows home to be milked in the summer. The song is inspired by a medieval folklore/ballade, a dark one🤘 The chorus is inspired by the intro (kulokk) English lyrics: [Sample: Vocalization; Marit Jensen Lillebuen] [Verse 1] I was such a beautiful maiden My stepmother evil, my mother she died She turned me into a sword and a needle And sent me to the king's estate And the anger my stepmother felt the most That all the stately liked me best [Chorus: Vocalization] [Verse 2] Then she gave me skin like a grey wolf She cursed me to walk the forest alone And never will I bе whole and good Before I drink my brothеrs' blood [Chorus: Vocalization] Originally this song is much longer, but they had to shorten it down for Eurovision.
i think i've seen you below every single reaction video, thank you for being around and educating the people on this phenomenal piece of art!
Thanks so much and this is wonderful information. I especially appreciate the verse translation and meaning. This is what I am here for. They got my vote.
Best Gåte reaction I've seen. 🥰
Thanks kyoi so much! That means a lot
This is based on a 1000 year old tale of ganning (old Norwegian magic) and the sorrow/rage/ happiness all combined in a small package. Part of our history.
I really hope they win. Gåte is pronounced Gaw-Teh. The song is inspired by a 1000 year old ballad and a traditional vocal song style for calling the cows, a traditional instrument called a nyckelharpa - (keyed fiddle), mix in some metal and a vocal beast and voilà! The singing at the beginning of the song is a “kulokk" and is traditionally how they called the cows in for milking. The lyrics tell a 1000 year old folklore story about an evil stepmother who curses her stepdaughter to become a wolf alone in the forest. The only way she can break the curse is to drink her brother’s blood. In the end, she sees her stepmother in the forest so she attacks and eats her. It turns out her stepmother was pregnant, leading her to drink her unborn brother’s blood and break the curse.
This is awesome. I learned so much from the fans and the comments and hearing the story make me love and appreciate this group even more. Thanks so much for sharing that.
Proud to be Norwegian 🇳🇴 👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 have lisend to Gåte about 20 years ❤️ loooove the music 👏🏽and they are Aaaawesome Live!!! 🔥🔥 Great reaction 👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thank You and I am glad to have discovered them. More to come.
Gåte are amazing! I am going to their intimate concert in Trondheim in a weeks time, 100 people in the crowd - I canNOT wait! It’s gonna be legendary I’m sure 🥳🥳🥳
That sounds awesome. Have a great time.
11:01 the reason for the confusion is that Gunnhild's brother (fiddle player Sveinung Sundli ) quit the band just last summer (2023) - allthough he has later joined on at least one concert. His replaclement Stenersen - whom plays nøkkelharpe/keyharp also plays in an amazing band called Wardruna ('viking music') that you should check out. The route via Wardruna will probably somehow lead you to the holy grail - Aurora....
Yeah it seems as if I opened a portal here! Or started climbing a tree with a ton of branches. Here we go
Sure, the live performance of Helvegen from festspillene has been done by many reactors. A better _setting_ , if not performance, is the outdoor performance from Trænafestivalen 2017. Also there's the alternative collaborator to Aurora on Helvegen: Mari Boine. The performance from Red Rocks 2019 is brilliant. Also Mari Boine is a legend in her own right. The performance of Eagle Brother from operahuset in 2009 is absolutely brilliant. And there's the more metal route with Wardruna: the performance of the song Kauna from the Incubate festival 2009, featuring Gaahl - a legend from the Norwegian Black Metal scene. Diving even deeper, one can seek out 70s inspiration for Gåte in the band Folque. There are a few live performances available on youtube.
Serious rabbit hole right here🤘🤩
I like how so many metalheads admit that they listen to Aurora... like she has become the one exception you are allowed to listen to, from the other side of the fence. ( I have seen her live several times, so I don´t even try to hide it anymore ;) )
@@TheNorseman Guess I'll have to jump in then!
The little girl from next door in my hometown She started as leadsinger at thirteen.
No kidding?! That's awesome
My #1 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🇳🇴
🤘🏻 Keep on Rockin' 🤘🏻
🤘🤘🤘🤘🎇🔥
You nailed it! Best reaction I've seen to the song from Gåte. Yes, Norwegian folk rock! You should explore this band, they have extremely good songs.
Thank you and I plan too!
Gåte ❤
Just found your reaction to this. From seeing the final live on KZhead, I was blown away from the band. Immediately fell in love with the song and instantly became my number 1 for this year's contest. Also I just found out that they have a 6 MINUTE version of this song and I was also left speechless when I heard it. (I wasn't expecting the last 2 minutes of the song to sound like that) Would love to hear your thoughts on the 6 min version of the song.
oh wow! A six minute version! That's great. I will go take a look.
Great reaction Dane. I knew you would like it :D They have my vote .
They have mine as well!
And mine, too!
Absolutely brilliant song
Their career took off because of the song "Sjå Attende", still listen to it all the time, if you check out more songs make that one of them :)
Deal. It's on the list.
@@DaneBramageROCKSI would argue that it was 'Bendik og Årolija' that was their first national hit (from their first full record Jygri - 2002 ).
Saw them live back in 2002 or thereabout. So happy to see them now getting recognized through awesome reactions like yours.
That's awesome and I am excited to have discovered them.
check out their song "Svarteboka" !!!
Excellent. It is on the list.
I personally love Sjå attende and Sjåaren. Such a pleasure discovering this band!
@@melliem2401 Yeah I have a list going!
Yes yes Gåte for the win🎉🎉🎉🎉❤
That would be awesome
Takk from the hart and spirit of Norway and GÅTE 🙏🥰🥰🥰❤️🍀
Im excited to them at the show!
Great reaction to my favourite ESC2024 entry :D Thanks!
Thank you! It is one of mine as well.
As I stumbled upon this excellent song and got familiar with the legend, I started uncovering the "meaning behind meaning" for me. Professionally I'm into semantics, myth, symbol, metaphor and psychoalanysis. Personally, I'm going through a rough cruise right now in my motherhood - letting go of an adult child and henceforth letting go of part of me. This is what I read of the storyline. In every parent there are 2 conflicting sides: the loving and warm, benevolent, all supportive, protective, all forgiving (tge deceased mother); and the unemotional, detached, harsh, sometimes aggressive, selfish (the stepmother). The 1st part keeps the child in comfort but doesn't prepare them for the brutality of responsible adult life (separation-individuation). The 2nd part may seem cruel, it pushes the child out to the world and says "find your own way, figure it out, I don't care any longer ". The daughter manages well, finds her own purpose (sword and needle), finds recognition and respect in society (knights and craftrmen). But then the "dark mother" overcomes her - self-doubt, envy, loss of direction in life. Perhaps this "dark mother" energy comes from the actual parent, perhaps from the internalised mother figure within the girl. As a result, she puts on wolf's clothing and becomes a recluse, ventures into the wildreness (another big symbol). In the wildreness she gets connected to primeval powers that put things in order. She kills the "bad mother" element and at the same time the child figure which it entails (a brother in uterus, dependent and unable to stand on his own). She is now fully adult. The song features a Norwegian herding call, which only adds another layer of symbolism. Rarely does a song have such an impact on me! It is indeed a masterpiece. Touches my soul in so many places. My winner of Eurovision 2024 ❤
That it quiet the impact and thanks so much for sharing that story. I'm happy to see that this can bring you some deeper meaning and hopefully some closure. This song is incredible and I'm excited for the finale.
the best song of this year and thelast 10 years in my opinion!!
Its soo cool you liked them and you expresed their name mostly right :-) Gåte is Awasome and im so happy they are back playing. Another fun fact for you, you might know it already. Gåte means ridle, or like a mystery ridle. In Norwegian. :-)
Thank you so much and yes, I am here for them and there will be more to come!! Thanks for the fun facts! Love it.
After seeing approx 20-30 Eurovision reaction videos in the last few days, I had to go back and revisit this one, as it was by far the best. You have a better understanding of this type of music and a better eye to spot what’s going on in that very busy stage; also it is evident that you are genuinely having a good time.
Thank you so much. Hearing this means so much to me. I do genuinely express what I am hearing and seeing. I don't believe in being fake for views but I also really get into great music so it's just fun. This group is one of my favorites, and I'm stoked they even watched this reaction! ❤️ Thanks again, welcome to the channel!
When they will perform in my country Sweden the audience will go wild.
I can imagine
@@DaneBramageROCKS i can agree as a swede
Danish here and I want these guys to win so bad lol, its so amazingly good! :D
I hope they do great. I'm sure they will.
Gåte! ❤❤🇳🇴🇳🇴🇳🇴
🤘🏻🤘🏻
Wow, what a great reaction video ! It feels so good seeing someone enjoy this for the first time just like I did, it's out of this world and it makes me feel alive !
Thank you so much!! I have a couple groups I follow and publish on this channel that are along the same lines of this tpye of music, I love it!
I can assure you that Gåte live is always amazing ! I have been to so many concerts here in Norway with them, and I have NEVER been disappointed 🙂 If you ever get the chance go to a concert DO IT ! 😊
Deal
I see them 2003 at the Roskilde festival they are amazing best concert ever seen....
I looooove your reaction to this marvellous performance! 😁😍👏🎶🥳 I share the excitement, as a norwegian, and a fan! I can't wait for eurovision now! Will check out your channel too, when knowing you're a rock/metal guy 🤘😊 Have a great night!
Thank you and welcome to the channel! I LOVE this song and can not wait to see how they do! 🤘Keep on Rockin'🤘
Gåte might be the best show I have ever been to, and I have been to Rammstein - Oslo with over 60 000 people. I have been a fan since the first album came out and I was so young that I had to have my mom as a guardian to this small college show because they served alcohol and I would have been to young to go without a legal guardian . This was a super small and intimate show but I would still rank it as top 3 shows I have EVER seen. Magnus (the guitarist) was standing on the fence separating the audience and the band while playing and Gunnhild sounds even better live then on records. The live experience was INSANE and I am still chasing that dragon of watching them live
Yeah I am fascinated by this group and I hope to see them live someday! I can't wait to see them on stage again at the contest! Cheering for them.
the song is taken from an ancient (1000 year old)norwegian medieval ballad, called "Møya i ulveham"(The girl in wolfskin). The Norwegian story exists in various versions, mainly from Telemark.[Basically, the story revolves around a young maiden being transformed into a needle, a knife and a sword by her evil stepmother. However, the people of the world appreciate both the needle, the knife and the sword. To punish the maiden even more, the stepmother transforms her into a wolf. The story ends with the stepmother staying with the child, and on the way to church the wolf pounces on her and drinks the stepmother's heart's blood. This lifts the curse, and the maiden emerges from the wolf's den.
This is awesome! Thanks so much for sharing.
Love your reaction! We are so proud of Gåte
Thank you and you should be, they are fantastic.
hey, thanks for this kind review.... I am Norwegian and you nailed the pronounciation quite good, way to go 🇳🇴 Yeah….. These guys have been going for a long time .... this is simply monumental !!!!!!!!!! This is earth shattering music ❤️
Thank you so much and I agree. Can't wait to hear them during the semi's!
@@DaneBramageROCKS Well, Europe and I disagree on musical taste 🤐
@@HaraldMacGerhard Same. I did enjoy Croatia though.
So - you should check out Svarteboka, beautiful piece of music! Also their first two albums Jygri and Iselilja - brilliant 👏🏻
Excellent thank you. Got a good list started here.
😁✌️the best song this year in EVSC 🎉
I LOVE IT!
i just love the lyrics in this.....she sings in the norwegian language new norwegian, sounds great when used here to this particular song.
a powerchick and grate musiscians! POtential winners
Agreed
It’s huge, empowering, touching, honest, heartfelt, mesmerizing!!! It’s just beautiful even if I don’t understand a single word! It’s just making me feel…. and taking me on a journey!
Well said!
Thank you for your reaction video! I've been a fan of Gåte since their very beginning. Seeing them in ESC is a huge thing, since I'm both a metal- and a ESC-fan. This is not a typical ESC-song. I think this song will do either really good, like top 3, or really bad. Unfortunately, they don't do well with the ESC-fan, mostly because the song Ulveham isn't really the ESC-fans genre. But I do think they'll surprise everyone! Gåte is the dark horse of the race, the underdog.
This as an amazing discovery and I was even more excited that they engage with the community. But it is true, this is not typical and I LOVE that about this group and submission.
So happy we are sending this for Eurovision 🇳🇴🇳🇴I would definitely recommend to listen too “svarteboka” it gives me chills every time. I listen to it at least 3 times a day. I need to see a reaction on that.
Will do, have a list built now from them!
@@DaneBramageROCKS can’t Wait🥳
my top 3
Same
Hello from Norway 🇳🇴🥰 Gåte is my favorit band. You should also listen to their songs "Svarteboka and Huldra" they are also very good. 🤗
Yeah I have started building a list from them. Can't wait to discover more
She is winner of 2024 Eurovision!
Gåte means riddle ( synonyms would be: mystery, conundrum or enigma ) It fits their lyrics about mystical things, old tales and folklore. You prounonce it very well.
Thank you so much!
YOU ARE PRONOUNCING GÅTE ABSOLUTELY ON THE HEAD... ABSOLUTELY RIGHT ! ⭐ AND ULVEHAM IS ACTUALLY THE SKIN OF A WOLF... GREETINGS FROM FRODE IN NORWAY 🇧🇻🏳️🌈... WORKING AS A JOURNALIST SPECIALIZED IN ENTERTAINMENT❤
Hi there. Thanks you so much and welcome! Im stoked to see them on the big stage!
Gåte ❤is awsome👏🇧🇻
Agreed
Your reactions are always so fun. Definitely looking forward to your reaction to The Warning and Michael Starr. When they finally drop HYCAD...that's going to be amazing!
Hi David! Thank you so much. Yeah I recorded that yesterday and should have it up either this week or next!
Hi, there! Greetings all the way from Brazil! You just got yourself a new subscriber!! Great analysis. I'm also a Metal Head and for some reason loved Alessandra from last year as well. But this?!? This is a dream come true. Ulveham is more than just a song: it's a full experience! I loved your reaction because it brings me back to when I first saw this presentation. Like, there's nothing that comes even close to this quality in Eurovision and I have been having a hard time finding out something that has in the whole history of the contest. What do I think we should do? Well, we metal supporters should present this to EVERYONE that has at least some connection with the genre. Because then we can vote and make this WIN! Can you imagine a metal song winning Eurovision? I get goosebumps from imagining it. What do you think of this "metal taskforce"? Cheers!! Keep on rocking, and thanks for the content!!
Hi there and welcome the channel. Thank so much for the comment and compliment. I can only dream of a Metal song winning Eurovision and I will support this reality any way possible. I think also I want to be part of this taskforce! Got my vote for sure! 🤘Keep on Rockin'🤘
Just a question: are you able to vote in Eurovision from Brasil?
@@ghauan I believe so. They have online voting poles during the live show.
@DaneBramageROCKS yes, but the votes are from the other countries in the competition, so how would a vote from Brasil fit in?
@@ghauan Last year, I did it through the phone app. I think you can vote online as well. You basically create an account, and there is a certain time during the show where they open up voting to the public and I think you get up to 10 votes and you can spread them out however you like. Keep an eye out as we get closer and they should explain it or add the voting button to the application or web site.
I love your reaction so much xD Its the same way I reacted when I first saw them. Literally jumping up and down in my chair and clapping and smiling. So glad we are sharing more Norwegian music. Im so jealous of the people in the audience. Gåte has been performing for 20 years. Very experienced. Should react to their song Skarvane, its my favourite.
Yeah I have grown a positive fascination for them and I plan to keep on discovering more. This is fun and exciting! More to come.
Gåte is my winner no matter what, I listened to their songs on Spotify right away after listening to "Ulveham". It's magical, powerful and an amazing storytelling masterpiece.
Yeah I am really diggin this group!
I loved that reaction - thanks
Thank you!
Great band.❤ Another Norwegian band with the same vibe is Kalandra. Check out Lullaby, Brave new world and Slow Motion Live🤘
Will do, thank you. More to come.
This was refreshing. Thanks.
For sure, thank you.
This is otherworldly.
Glad you found this one!! Was about to reply to your Gritto comment.
@@DaneBramageROCKS I wasn't aware you'd reacted to the other ESC entries, but a quick scroll down your feed got me here, ha! So glad you liked this song - I am smitten. And I'm not even from Norway!
Some ppl says her voice is shaky but it's supposed to sound exactly like that. It's folque.
oh well, that is good to know!! I LOVED IT!
Gåte has some amazing songs, very folk and nordic music.
Seeing Gåte live this Friday in Oslo, I'll tell them you said hi 😁🤘😎
AWESOME!! Have fun and tell them "Thank you so much for commenting on my (DaneBramage ROCK reaction!" 😁🤘😎
Finally someone who pronounce their name (GÅTE) correctly :D
Awesome! Thank you
I am from Norway ❤
Cheers! Proud of this group.
If you want to check out more from them. Check out their song Svarteboka. :D
Thank You!
@@DaneBramageROCKS My pleasure :D
win❤
Hi! Yes you're saying Gåte right. But nit the e in Uleham. The e should be pronounsed as the e in Echo. I saw these guys live back in 2001-2002-ish. So they know their craft. And they Back then this Folk-rock/metal style was for me completly new and magical.
Got it, thank you! I can't wait to see more live performances, they are fun! And good.
Gåte, it's been years since i didn't heard this name
Welcome back.
Now that's a reaction.👍 Great stuff.😀 New subscriber here.
Thank you so much and welcome to the channel! I appreciate your support
I was such a beautiful maiden My stepmother evil, my mother she died She turned me into a sword and a needle And sent me to the king's estate And the anger my stepmother felt the most That all the stately liked me best Chorus: Vocalization Verse 2 Then she gave me skin like a grey wolf She cursed me to walk the forest alone And never will I bе whole and good Before I drink my brothеrs' blood Chorus: Vocalization Outro: Vocalization, Storm I then tore out her heart So her blood flowed free Then I got to drink my brothers' blood
Thanks again!
They have a lot of good music, but I think you will like Svarteboka ft. Djerv. You can hear Agnete, from Djerv's voice in Ulveham also. And I think you would recognize it more, if you heard Svarteboka first. Great reaction BTW🤘
Thank you so much, and yes, I'm excited to see more! Got a good library building here.
💖💖💖
gaw-teh is the right prounanciation. it means riddle
Riddle - or enigma. Could mean either
Excellent, Thank you.
Å is pronounced as the O in Rock!
Great song, great band, great singer, absolutely fabulous...But somehow it brings back memories on a band from the Netherlands long time ago? Nice thing to know is that the singer of Within Temptation designed and made all of her wardrobe to perform on stage herself. kzhead.info/sun/qJSyj8iHg4epZH0/bejne.html&start_radio=1
Oh that is great! Thank you.
@@DaneBramageROCKS thank you for reacting
My favorite band for at lest 10 years
You probably missed it, but if you look at the guitarist or bassist (the one to the left) at the End, you can see him throw his guitar high up into the sky, just look around 7:28 in your vid
I'll be darned. SWEET.
To pronounce it right you need to keep the å longer. When they started out they only played concerts on Saturdays because the big brother didn't wanted his kid sister to miss school.
Got it, Thank you. Makes sense
I love the reaction! Did you see Gåte new video for Ulveham that they released yesterday? It's is incredible! Can you please react to it too?? ❤️
I did see that, I have it added and I'll get to it!
The meaning of the lyrics are deep
You're pronouncing it very well. Ulve ham means wolfski n, it's an old Nordic tale, kind of Cinderella, but here the step daughter is sent to ensnare the king wearing a wolfskin.
Thank you so much. 🤘🏻
Like Go-A for Ukraine a couple of years back I believe, this had to be reworked a little (the lyrics were too close to the source material). Like Go-A (who you should look up) it probably gave it a little something more. I knew you'd love it. Belgium has just entered the chat and could be a definite contender worth a check. But I love Ireland this year, they are one of the one of the most successful nations at Eurovision but have been beige in recent years and Bambi Thug isn't beige! They call what they do ouija pop.
Sounds Like we have another wonderful line up this year. Gonna be fun.
@@DaneBramageROCKS Croatia just put a beauty into the mix - Baby Lasagne is the act Rim tim Tagga - if Belgium is looking like jury fav - this is going to be a crowd fav.
@@taniaphillips3881 On it
Gåte means Riddle :) Also you should react to Wardruna they are amazing.
Heavy Folk
Love it!
Gåte are the best. You pronounce both Gåte and Ulveham correct. Gåte will win.
Thank you. I'm stoked for them.
