Folk metal vocal cover of \"Hrafnsml - The Words of the Raven\" by Einar Selvik from the videogame Assassin's Creed: Valhalla, arranged and performed by Psamathes and @Dacian Grada.
My late grandpa would tell me stories from ancient myths when I was little instead of fairytales, so I've always loved mythology. Norse mythology has often fascinated me with its epic sagas as well as its quirkier tales about gods just trying to get some mead. As a fan of the Assassin's Creed series since the very first game and a huuuge fan of Wardruna, it was like a dream when this game was announced! This is my tribute to the amazing team behind Assassin's Creed: Valhalla. I did my best with all my skills, and I'm grateful to my buddy Dacian for once again helping me out to let the metal side shine. Now that we're done with this cover, we're both off to earn some Opals! Let us know if you'd like to hear some other covers from this stunning OST, and what you expect from the upcoming DLC!
Special thanks to my amazing Patrons Allen Brasch, Anna Masoni, Chernabogue, Gin, Janet Wilson, Loukianos, Mind Waker, Mockingjay N7, Mr. Feral, Paper Coelacanth, Piano Game Knight, Ro Panuganti, Sauraen, Sebastian Wolff, and Yoshiaki Miyasaka for their support!

Kunna hugak ik konung

Es vitu rmu vni

Ok rar at sveigja
Hmlur at slta

Hmlur at slta
