"Kala" - from the latest album "Skapanir", sets the atmosphere and draws inspiration from the dark and cold Scandinavian days and winters of the Viking period.
The Danheim album "Skapanir" touches on death, the creation of new things and beginnings in the dark period of the Viking age. Take a journey back to the pagan/heathen way of life, and experience the atmosphere, ancestral gods, Norse mythology, and Scandinavian heritage portrayed in sound.
The song ( Danheim - Imar ) is from the Nordic Folk/Viking album Mannavegr.

"Hel" is a song about the the nine kingdoms of the dead in Viking mythology. "Hel" is very different from the Christian "Hell"
Hel rules the nine worlds of death, which correspond to the nine worlds of life, and she assigns to anyone who arrives a suitable abode in proportion to the good or bad qualities of the souls or deeds. Some deceased can tumble on sun-drenched meadows, while others suffer. Those who suffer are led through the gates leading to the depths of Helheim and Niflheim, where matter must be decomposed. Hel is a realm where death represents a relaxing interlude and where souls spend an appropriate amount of time in their legitimate environment. The Eddas state that elves (human souls) sleep among the gods while celebrating with lots of mead, which is a symbol of the experiences of a previous period of life, and in this way the souls that rest after life are present in the divine spheres, even though they are unaware of their surroundings. In the Edda's "Vagtamskvadet" for example, the legend about the sun god's death and arrival at Hel's home, tells us that a sumptuous apartment has been arranged, and mead is ready and freshly brewed upon his arrival.

Lyrics:
(Danish)
Svagt vokser mit syn, skumle mørke.
Hadefulde norner, strikker min skæbnetråd.
Skæbnekamp forgæves.
Den udsultede ravn fortæller om hel, de dødes ni riger.
Hvor kan jeg hvile mig? med dem jeg husker, blandt mine egne.
Langt fra Helheim og Niflheims dybder.
Mit håb er gyldent mjød og tændte kævler,
Hvad skal jeg gøre, for at varme mine hænder?
Ni ringe jeg ofre, runer jeg rister, sange jeg synger.
English translation:
My vision grows faint, eerie darkness.
Hateful Norns, knit my destiny-thread.
Battling your destiny is in vain.
The starving raven tells of Hel, the nine kingdoms of the dead.
Where can I rest? with those I remember, among my own.
Far from the depths of Helheim and Niflheim.
My hope is golden mead, and lit logs,
What should I do to warm my hands?
Nine rings I sacrifice, runes I carve, songs I sing.

Lyrics (Old Norse) /Egils Saga
Þat mælti mín móðir,
at mér skyldi kaupa
fley ok fagrar árar,
fara á brott með víkingum,
standa yp í stafni,
stira dýrum knerri,
halda sváu til hadnar
hoggva mann ok annan.
English translation / Egils Saga
"My mother wants a price paid
To purchase my proud-oared ship
Standing high in the stern
I'll scour for plunder.
The stout Viking steersman
Of this shining vessel:
Then home to harbour
After hewing down a man or two."

Norwegian Lyrics:
I himmelberget så skuer han ut
Heimdall er vitne til din ærefulle slutt
Han reiser og henter deg før det er for sent
Så står du ved kanten av Bifrost sin glød
Du kjempet og ferdet for alle i ditt bo
Villig til å ofre alt når du dro
Så æren skal bli din min venn
Heimdall vil vise deg himmelbergets kant
Åsgard innenfor sine murer grå
Blomstrer og spirer et tre for deg nå
Kom så skal vi feire ditt slag
Og Odin vil nå ære med sitt lag
Bifrost er stengt for alle hver mann…
Bortsett fra deg og din edle kamp…
