About Danheim
A dark Nordic folk project from Danish multi-instrumentalist and producer Mike Schæfer Olsen, Danheim's icy blend of Viking mythology and ambient Scandinavian folk music evokes sonic heathenry. Inspired by runic legends and Danish folklore, Olsen began to explore his heritage via song in the early 2000s. He began releasing music under the Danheim moniker in 2017, beginning with the full-lengths Munarvagr and Mannavegr. In 2018, he launched his own independent label, Fimbul Records, with the intention of issuing future material from other artists in the Nordic folk genre. Herja and Fridr were released that year, with Runagaldr and Hringras arriving in early 2019.

I remember dancing with the boys to this in the 800’s
i play this music when i have to take a shit. makes me shit like a badass. beyond that. nope. i wasn't nordic in any format.
Weird cuz they didn't have this kinda stuff in the 800's.
@@adygombos4469 Honestly, I find so many of these comments cringeworthy. "Going back to nordice roots, yeah!".... in response to music produced with modern sampling, styling, and instrumentation. Viking life wasn't awesome. It fucking sucked. Now get over your fetishization of ancient bullshit and face reality.
@@FNLNFNLN buzz kill...
Imagine a man who has dedicated his sole life on making Viking ambient musics. Danheim, you are fucking awesome.
Honestly, this is incredible. GG, danhiem, GG.
Fucking legend
When he dies he’s going to valhalla
If Valhalla was real, he would be there I hope.
@@loslingos1232 Is Heaven real thought?
Shaman: I'm sorry, but you have one hour left to live. Me: Play "Dark & Powerful Viking Music" by Danheim. Shaman: But that's longer than one hour... Odin: I'll allow it.
SKÅL. well put.
*Valkyries start resuscitating you so they can play it again.*
Best joke this year so far! Very funny :)
you: copying
STOLI!!
I only just realized that this is entirely made by one person. Dude I am seriously impressed with both your work and your persistence. This music is honestly so unique and amazing to listen to and is a highlight in each and everyone of my days. thank you for sharing man seriously.
Entirely? x)
Sigurboði Grétarsson im sure he’s had help but for the most part lmao
@@leedraconis5793 ha yep check the list above to see who has collaborated with Danheim, including the beautiful voice, and I would imagine tagelharpa, of @Sigurboði Grétarsson ;)
Liam Vic One guy !! Just about swallowed my tongue !
Absolutely a music and imaginative genius!!!
I am a simple man. I see Danheim I click like.
Simple rick 🤣 wubba lubba dub dub
I’m a high anxiety sometimes find it hard to leave the house I can’t go into any shops etc ....today I had to go for a check up at the hospital by myself was scary but I put my headphones on and played this loud I was sooooo calm and felt no fear listening to this awesome music thank you Danheim
It's all about using what you can to get through the day!
Next time do the same, but grab an axe and let others have high anxiety. Embrace the vikingness :D
pachelbel canon in D along with Clair de Lune was my first songs that helped me settle down my high Anxiety i hope it helps you like it helps me. but now this one has done the job ! Hope everything turns out okay.
Thanks guys love Clair de lune but omg this mix brings out the inner warrior in me 😊 gonna rage through the supermarket tonight lol
@@arohakopu-myers8 Oh man ! i know exactly what you mean.
When I was a young kid I was told a story about how our viking ancestors had discovered a far away land to the west, and they were all celebrating and having a huge feast because they truly believed there were finally monsters and giants there for them to slay. That's some of the most metal shit I've heard still to this day.
@Tomita 102 I told my history teacher this and he was pissed he couldn't tell me i was wrong XD
Ever wonder what the monsters and giants were?
Maybe they did slay them all, and thats why there are no monsters and giants.
@@UltimatePowa Monsters still exist. They usually reside in Walmart, filling the aisles with their stench, praying upon the helpless 2 liters of Mountain Dew
Well, there are old native legends of red-haired giants living in North America.
When the world goes to war, Danheim must play the soundtrack!
Ragnarök danhiem will rally the warriors from Valhalla
nah. im not playing this shit in war time. would fucking depress me. if im trying to get drunk i'll play this shit.
Not for me. I would have much more important things to worry about than having music played. War is such a serious matter. Can't be taken lightly.
Them, Heilung and Wardruna!
.....and whilst we stood( painted black) in billowing white smoke rising from burning green bushes ,we chanted .... Under cover of darkness we advanced until sunrise ...waited ....
i mostly code with this music, might raid a coast village later though idk
ME TOO!
Jj
I agree, it's great for coding! There're hardly any actual lyrics that would break your concentration and the singing that's there you can't understand anyway, so it doesn't matter if you don't fully listen. Any recommendations for other artists? I've been listening to a lot of Wardruna and Danheim lately but don't like Heilung.
YUSS! See you in Codehalla Brother!
Just stay away from bears.i delt with one before.wouldnt recommend it.
my dog heard this ... and turned into Fenrir
Did he bite off your hand after?
Ouchie, watch your hands.
@@FrejaHirst I doubt hes Tyr.
@@PiracyandDumbbells dont agree to chain the wolf that brings Ragnarok and kills Odin. Tyr was the only one brave enough to do it knowingly.
My pool heard this and it turned into a tsunami
I don't get why people dislike the video, if you just don't like the music why are you even here in the first place?
why is there a dislike-button?
They Are Not
people just need to learn that objectively their opinion doesn't matter and isn't valuable, there's 8 billion opinions, no one cares if you like or dislike something. But the social media incorporated the idea that everyone's opinion should be heard. Let's return to simpler times brethren
NPC'S (non player character in video games) and soy drinking vegans.
Whenever I hear Danheim I feel like the gods are dancing in my veins!
Do you hear voices too ??!
@@Kim.Minjii. Yes ... It is the Nornir who whisper about my fate
@@arminiushammerschlag6095 Good, i'm not mad then.
lol
That's a heart attack...
1:08:59 When Word crashes and I didn't save my document.
This comment is so good, hahaha!
Everybody is like: OMG I WAS TRANSPORTED TO ONE OF MY PREVIOUS LIVES AND I WAS A VIKING or I FEEL LIKE I CAN COMMAND AN ARMY WITH A WOLF BY MY SIDE And then you find this one. I am listening this while I am writing and... yeah, is pure PAIN
CTRL+S every 2 minutes of working. It's on my spine!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I admit I truly laughed out loud, because that’s the sound I make when I forget to save before a boss fight.
Fell asleep to this, I woke up with a full beard and a battle axe in my hand and a grey wolf by my side . Wow ... What else could a real man ask for? Next stop Valhalla !! With my wolf by my side.....
Ask if the wolf is called Fenrir?
The women of your vanquished enemies naked in the bed with mead and mutton whilst a crow of the all father watches from its ode your window and takes off as soon as you think “....Odin?” Cuz Odin be like o shit I ain’t paying child care fees, he’ll be like “I’ll be back real quick I just gotta head to the store and pick up some tobacco leaves” Never seen again
If you want to go hard in the gym this is the only way. The way to Valhalla
DESA Typ people think I’m crazy when I say this is my gym music 😂😂
Darian Weatherly same here 😂
That's what I was thinking of doing when gyms open
@John Smith mmmmmm, I think you know dude. I've got a hunch you know the know
This is my work out music too! I thought I was the only one lol
As for Mongolian it's very similar not just in the way it resembles throat singing, but it the way it pierces your soul! My greetings to Scandinavian brothers💪🏽 Even for Genghis Khaan it would be honour to face such severe enemies
So um I'm pretty sure I'm not Scandinavian but I totes feel like nostalgic when I hear this. Like there is someone I loved that I can't remember
With a name like that, you're probably French, so you're gaulic, the love child of Norman's and Celts. So you probably have some.
That’s because it is primal and calls to that part in all of us.
The vikings raided and or traded all the way to india, so people in the mediteranean, egyptian or byzantine sometimes have a little in there sometimes, especially if their family has a history near the ports. Also the most beautiful women were taken to the Scandinavian places, as prizes, this practice persisted reliably for at least 600 years, which equates to (at 5 generations per century) 30 generations of almost selective breeding. This is why across all humanity, scandinavians now stir so many loins. The men are built like brick shithouses and the women are taken from the most suitable in the world. You have to go to places like australia and south america to seek out other beautiful women, who are beautiful in a genuinely different way. There are genetic drift maps and approximations of particular peoples movements on youtube, take each with a grain of salt, as not all data is equal, but it is definitely interesting to know.
@@PiracyandDumbbells fleur noire translates into Black Flower. That ain't a name....
@@u.s.s.chucklefucker1657 Ahaha, I'm a dumb ass.
I am a woman who grew a beard thanks to Danheim.
Omg 😆 😂🤣😅
I saw a Mexican chick with a stash.
P.s. it was at the blood bank. Scary.
It's called menopause.
@@allyv961 Wrong. I am an attack helicopter.
Ivar's Revenge is legendary
This is currently my soundtrack to sitting in my backyard watching an amazing thunderstorm and having a strong drink. Thank you for this!
Danheim’s music is pure amazing, this music makes me feel feelings that i dont normally feel in my everyday life. As a scandinavian it feels like my genes of my ancestors are coming to life within me and it feels amazing! Skål from Sweden!
As a hybrid of Celtic and Saxon blood I enjoy this music too. Wassail from Scotland.
sjonit1 Skål to that! Let’s enjoy it togheter 👌🏼
Brilliant
I'm polish but i have blue eyes and blonde hair so SKAL!
Krzysztof Godula Polish people are beautiful! Na zdrowie brat!
Crazy how listening to this music my assignment suddenly seems to write itself. I have major problems with coming to an ease with my inner self when I need to start writing essays and longer texts. I somehow feel like this music is fighting the disarray in my head.
If every student listened to this before an exam, I'm willing to bet those horrible exam anxieties wouldn't exist!
Same here! I created a short story while listening to this yesterday. I very often have blocks when it comes to writing. Also cool for online exams xd
nordic style
Yeah, exact feelings..
Perfect for playing Valheim in 2021
I CAN LISTEN TO THIS WHEN I EAT, WHEN I SLEEP, WHEN I WANK AND WHEN I WORK :D THANK YOU DUDE!
Having someone listen to his music while they're wanking... Honestly man, that's the dream
@@christiantheboiking8067you only see this kinda thing on the internet
@@shadefoxx7793 Yup
SCOL!
my wife let me put it on while we.. (you know)...
Much love from South Africa, Danheim. You have brothers and sisters down here too.
Pity the gods reincarnated us to this hellhole. Gotta to better this time so I can go back home next time
Reincarnated people? For what purpose? Also if you call this a place a hellhole and believe you keep coming here to learn something, maybe the lesson is to love what you got, even if it is the earth. It's a pretty good earth.
KEEP CALM and DANHEIM ALL THE TIME!!! Skål !!!!
Whenever I feel low on energy, I listen to Danheim. It always excites me, makes me want to go out and do something, move my body, be active and feel alive. It's great music and I'm deeply grateful for it.
While I was walking through the forest and listening to this music through my headphones, a deer came towards me and stopped in front of me for a few seconds it was like looking at each other...that was incredible I perceived the world around me very differently
I've witnessed crows, ravens, falcons, all near me. I see it as Odinn and Freyja, as those are their signs. It always brings me a smile to notice the Gods giving me a sign 🛡
Very nice. A situation like that is indeed touching. I have had similar experiences, including predators. A female leopard with cubs.. Now that is frightening and awe inspiring in the same time. Her eyes are like coals, burning holes in your soul.
When I am beaten down by haters, Damn this music picks me up and makes me feel my Badass!!!
if you want some more, also listen to "Heilung". They do very authentic music with spectacular concerts. very popular here. what's also good is "Osi and the jupiter" just in case you can't get enough.
If we are at it don't forget Wardruna ^^
@@ricolini70 yeah but it gets to mainstream sometimes. the older ones from wardruna are nice tho
Love to hear a collab between Heilung and Danheim!
Love Heilung
@@rainsong8145 Warduna mainstream? Hell no. If something Danheim is the mainstream folk music band. Not hating on Danheim but Warduna is the best out of these folk music bands.
I'm writing a historical fantasy book for preteens which features a young shieldmaiden, and I always listen to Danheim whenever I'm writing her chapters, to really get me into the viking-mood. Thank you for the wonderful music!
whats it called?
Sylvester care to share?
You've probably inspired 10 other people to write a book! :-)
whats the book called??
this goes perfectly while playing Valheim
To whoever disliked the video I'm going to wear your bones around my neck.

Danheim's music is truly a hidden jam out there. He deserve to be known more.
The perfect background music to my exam in lyrics, wich is to analyze voluspá. Wish me luck!
This guy deserves to be allowed the soundtrack to a big budget epic fantasy movie...with heilung and amon amarth as contributors.
omg is it neeew?! 2 HOURS?!!!!! I was born to click play button on this.
I just discovered this amazing and powerful Nordic, Norse, Viking music. It fuels my imagination of what I do know about this ancient culture. I must learn more about that age and culture. The Vikings: bold, rugged, strong, determined, clever, clannish and above all, fearless.
Why does this Viking music connect with my soul. I’m not even from Europe.
Listening to this while playing Valheim
Love pulling up at traffic lights with this blasting get some funny looks as I live in northumberland uk I think it triggers ancient viking PTSD in us northumbrians
Started listenting to this on my way to work and I ended up on a longship with Flóki heading towards Iceland.
Herrlich !!! Grüße aus Deutschland an meine Vikingerschwestern und Brüder o.-
Weiß jemensch von euch zufällig ob es Konzerte oder dergleichen in Deutschland gibt? Ich würde sowas gerne mal in einem größeren Rahmen erleben .. :) Danke vorab für die Auskunft. Odin sieht euch.
@Barrakus200 Stimmt. Dann in hoffentlich nicht in allzuferner Zukunft. :)
Ich liebe das
So genial 🌷

Corona Virus, the last boss of 2020.... I think...
first COVID...then Social Unrest... If this trend continues, we may have to prepare Ragnarøkkr.

I have the axe. Who has the rope?
I agree
I'm half Irish and celt in bloodline just sharping my hatchet now awesome music also vikings the tv series awesome too brilliant album
Primal with a bass. Best music to write viking stories to.
In making my own viking epic ATM Check out my playlist
Magnificent. My family left Denmark a 1000 years ago, but my sense of heritage is strong. This music speaks to me on a deep, deep level.
I listen to this when I raid my pantry.
I feelya.
Goosebumps!!!
I can already feel the creak of wood underneath my feet and the smell of the sea. The coastline calls to us.
Feeling cute . Might raid York later. Idk.
@@chippanapatcha1679 what if it's actually the bumming I am looking for?

The comments on here are almost as epic as the music!! Thanks for cheering me up!! Keep it up guys skal!!!
I don't have to speak your language to understand your music. It touches me again and again and helps me on bad days to come down and find my inner center again. I thank you !
Makes me proud to be danish. Skål!
makes me proud to be pagan

When I listen to your music danheim, I feel like a Viking.
Same XD
You are a viking
Berserker ..... the best !!!
I’m a big music guy (studied music technology and production at college and uni for 5 years), my problem is is lately I’m listening to music at a much quicker rate than I’m discovering new music. Your work ive been listening to for three days straight. It makes me feel reconnected with the earth and weirdly centres me. Can’t wait to visit your part of the world at some point. Keep up your amazing work mate 🤙🏼
This song makes me want to raid my own house.. Cheers for likes!! SKAL!!
😭😂😂😂
lmao nice one
That's the funniest YT comment I've read in weeks😂
Raid your neighbors
HAHAH!!
To anybody who's reading this, sometimes it's the little things that can make a big difference. Take time to appreciate the simple things in life, like a beautiful sunset, a warm cup of coffee, or a kind word from a friend. These small moments of joy can help you stay positive and keep going, even on the toughest days. And remember, it's okay to take a break when you need it. Self-care is important, and taking time to recharge can help you come back stronger and more focused than ever 💖
To the people disliking our music, thanks for making more space for the rest of us to get into Valhalla. To my brother's and sisters, Skol. I shall feast with you all in Odins great halls
Some people like to watch asmr videos and listen to asmr audios. My asmr is listening to a guy making guttural noises with rhythmical drums. This is so satisfying to listen to and I don't even have the excuse of heritage, because I'm asian and the closest I ever got to nordic stuff is skyrim.
This is my new favourite study music. It helps me concentrate way better than I thought!
Ivar's revenge is so intense. It's awesome.
Thank you Danheim. Your generosity will be repaid.
Happy Yule Danheim!!
Ahhh, time to play these beautiful tracks as my background music while I play Valheim.
Honestly the fact that you make all of this and then make it free for us...
My Viking DNA is bouncing about to this vibe. Good job it only accounts for 2% otherwise I would have to wear my horn-less helmet.
I'm in the wrong time. Or maybe I was there. Who knows...
I feel the same
I feel the same way
Feel the same
Me do, but I was probably a bad boy and the gods decided to reincarnate my in an African hellhole.
I HAVE FELT THE SAME WAY TOO!
playing assassins' creed Valhalla, while listening to this.....it can't get much better, really!
This music makes me feel like being home again after a millennia being lost and as an immortal soul in the wrong era . Born in a body that isn’t mine . But one I must own . And make the most of it . But this song pulls my soul into a place where iron maidens ruled and fought with fury . Fought for Valhalla. Home sweet home . Well as close as one can get . Appreciate the music . It’s beautiful! Soul’s revival
My dad tried to tell me to stop playing this so loud late at night.I habe defeated him in one on one combat and am Now the Jarl of this household!
"and I welcome the Valkyries to summon me home! "
❤️🔥🩷💞💓👍👍👍
My favourite go to . thank you . Danheim.......whoever and wherever you are
This calms my soul!
1:39:45: although I know not what they are saying/singing; it speaks to my soul. I don’t know how I haven’t heard this mix until now. Whoever put this together, did my world a service. Thank you.
I genuinely love Ivar's Wrath, those muffled primal screams just trigger me every time. The whole mix is really good, thx for sharing
If I absolutely had to choose, Ivar's wrath and Ivar's revenge are my favourites of Danheim... but i don't like admitting that because I love all his music, so don't want to commit to favourites 😋
Thank you! We need "3 Hours of Dark & Powerful Viking Music" from you!
Ivar's Revenge bangs!
This music touches something inside me. I actually go to sleep to it. The music entrances me.. I love it
How to listen to Danheim 1. Give it a like 2. Get your Drinkhorn and fill it with mead 3. Listen with highest Volume and honor the gods while you at it ~ ❤
4. Have a big feast with your family and discuss where to raid in spring. :D
@@elanhelosdeblanco8476 :D oh sorry Mr. Policeman. That monastery wasn't supposed to stand here and I dont't know how, but It was a big surprise to see other family members and oh, they all had axes. Gosh. Mr.Police: "Which and how many drugs did you take?"
1) with good headphones 2) at a reasonable volume so you don't ruin your hearing.
Why meas when grog is here
Well my drinking horn got upgraded to a signal horn since when I cannot drink out of it anymore. I think its time to buy a new drinkhorn..
Dude, Hefna be lowkey bumping. I feel like if I played that at a club, no one would be any the wiser.
Amazing! Odin bless you all! ♡
1. heard this music too loud 2. neighbour called the police 3. police came 4. police arrested neighbours...
Playing it louder might help......
Skol!
5. listened to it louder with police officer at my (assuming) house dancing like a mad man 6. started dancing like a mad man myself
Best comment ever!!
The neighbours are probably saxon peasants
My five-year-old heard this and now carries around an axe and insists on drinking his hot chocolate from a drinking horn.
A true Viking, and Pagan.
Best playlist for kayaking/rowing
This needs to be broadcast over the emergency broadcast system in Australia 24 hours a day.
This playlist + 8 scoops of Pre work = the most insane workout ever!
