1.27.25

'Modern Viking' was an ambitious idea of mine I have had for a couple years now. My goal with this track was a bit more cinematic. I wanted to capture the moment a modern-day heathen soldier had a near-death experience on the battlefield when his heart stopped and he began hearing the Einherjar chanting only to be resuscitated back to life while being medevacked. You all know me, I can't help but be cinematic with my music :)

When I first originally thought of this concept, I wasn't skilled enough to pull it off yet. I have learned so much since then when it comes to mixing and mastering my own sound, as well as producing my own video content, with the major changes in my life recently I felt it was time. I was originally inspired to do this song after listening to a few personal stories of near-death experiences during war. Mixing these inspirations with a life-changing "death experience" I had with DMT once and the fact I had been sitting on nearly 2.5 hours of audio recordings of war 'gifted' to me from a special someone (thank you for all your insane stories), this song was inevitable.
