Title: Setting the mood for Dark Age games..?
Post by: Argonor on 08 November 2015, 11:21:16 PM
I recently became aware of this:

http://www.wardruna.com/

as some of the musicians played at the 'Nordisk Råds Prisuddeling 2015' (I think it was). I Liked it, and I think it would make excellent 'backdrop music' for at least games involving Vikings!  :)

Aren't they the ones who do a lot of the background-type music for the History Channel Vikings series?

I dont know about the rest but the main music is from Fever Ray.

Do you know Corvus Corax?
Very nice music, at least most albuns.

Also Two Steps from Hell have some very nice albuns but more for the fantasy type.

Following them on Facebook, although I've never experienced them live.

If so, at least one good thing came from it... I swear, I saw renaissance helmets on some of those 'saxon cavalrymen'.  ::)

Gripping Beast? I finally gave up and sold mine off. I love  :-* :-* my GB Arthurians, but I just couldn't get excited abt the Vikings. I've got my self some GW Norse, and that will do the trick until I can do the army that really inspired me, here:

Now that is some inspiration for Dark Age games. :)  I've been looking at it dreamily for years, wondering if I could do something similarly well...

Quite a bunch of Foundry in there, I'd say?
Title: Re: Setting the mood for Dark Age games..?
Post by: LeadAsbestos on 11 November 2015, 01:22:41 AM
All Foundry. Less historical, but something abt them just fires up my imagination like the GB Vikings didn't.

A friend of mine is running a indiegogo-campaign for her new album, about Freya.

So, if you're interested in viking-inspired music, please check this out:

You guys are starting to sound like a lot of my other friends all of a sudden.  lol

Having seen Wardruna and Corvus Corax life I can assure you their fans also set the mood for dark age games.  ;D
