Hej Vikings. Its me, Carly!

So guys.

I finally did something else for the 1st time in 300 years  (not really. I am almost 14) that I will never expect to do.

I listened to Swedish metal or whatever.

Now... I do like rock. But sadly, Scandinavian rock. I like Garmarna and Haloo Helsinki. It's kinda weird because well. Who listens to Garmarna in 2024 (157,000 people. That's how many people listen to Garmarna)

Now, Swedish metal actually slaps. I love how most songs are either just cooler versions of folk songs (They turned Skånesangen from a chill acapella song to absolute banger) or Nordic history events just songfied and coolfied

In case you are wondering, I found a lot of Viking songs, I also found a lot of songs based off the Nordic Liberty age (16th to 18th century) which is understandable because that was a cool era, I mean we got the great Northern war, The Swedish and Danish empires and a lot of cool things.

And I saw some other... interesting choices. I found a song about the Kalmar Union but I actually died when I found the next one.

Guys.

Guys.

I found a Swedish heavy metal song ABOUT Scandinavian-American history im

IM ACTUALLY DYING. They ran out of cool Scandinavian history events to base their songs on. (all Scandinavian history events are cool) Still, I respect this desicion. and yes, the song was a banger. I will not destroy you because you’re not into the viking age

I mean… I have an entire 4-hour playlist of Scandinavian-American Immigrant songs so nowadays I find anything Nordic as a b a n g e r (I used to have like normal music taste up into like 2023, Thats when I became nordic

Well, That's all. shoutout to the music teacher at my school who's Swedish-American and basically only listens to Swedish metal which is cool. He’s still a cool guy

Except I'm a 14-year old girl-

BYE VIKINGS

I think it’s because of the guitar, it’s pretty soft.

Maybe the vocals too.
