Danheim

Danheim is a musical project created by Danish musician Mike Olsen, specializing in a dark, Nordic folk and Viking-inspired sound. The music often incorporates traditional instruments and elements of ambient, electronic, and cinematic composition to evoke a sense of ancient Scandinavian atmosphere and mythology. The style is often characterized by deep, resonant drumming, mournful vocals (often chanted or throat-sung), and melodies drawn from folk traditions, although presented with modern production techniques. Danheim's music frequently explores themes of battle, nature, and the spiritual world of the Vikings. The project has gained a considerable following online, particularly among those interested in Norse paganism, historical reenactment, and atmospheric music.
