Title: Viking and Pagan-themed power electronics
Post by: jesusfaggotchrist on October 23, 2013, 12:08:57 AM
Before you get the wrong idea, I am not specifically looking for racist material, as it really doesn't matter. I've seen references in songs like Whitehouse - Viking Section and Halthan - Into The Ragnarok.

any albums that reflect this entire theme? stuff with references to Odin, Thor, Battles, Heathenism, etc. would be appreciated.

I am not 100% sure those tracks speak about heathenism... possibly metaphores, but it would be great Sebastian would explain it himself.

I think mythical subjects can be found more into softer post-industrial/folk oriented stuff than PE which is mostly based on reality oriented stuff...
although projects like green army fraction are esplicitly inspired by spriritual subjects... so there may be more

Lokasenna: (from edda. Loki's quarrels)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdFHIDyy0kY

And many many more tracks. Holmgang, Ginnungagap, Niflheim, etc etc... Basically all releases of Dagda Mor has old norse mythology and references to pagan europe.

The song is metaphore for mans´struggle in this society !

Besides, every self-respecting scandinavian should include (at least) one song from nordic mythology in his/her repertoire.

"Creation contains excerpts from UTHARK: Nightside of the Runes by Thomas Karlsson", relating to Oden's hanging, which is also depicted on the cover.

Trepaneringsritualen "Konung Dómaldr Vid Upsala Hängd" and "Septentrional" relate to pre-Christian/medieval mystical themes, it seems.

Halthan: any Kalevala in Finnish industrial?

As far as i know, no !
Kalevala seems to be used in metal-scene mostly.
It could be a very good source, because it´s a excellent book.

I came in to say Trepaneringsritualen too.  Nothing he does is overtly Viking / Pagan in nature, but the themes are explored.
