I listen to a wide variety of music but I really enjoy metal.

a semi side note, has anyone noticed 2 of the songs from Renegade X are an exact match to old Avenged Sevenfold songs from the Unholy Confessions album?

-Lunacy

Yeah, I think this was mentioned before :)

I love listening to proto-germanic rave music :D

more "Viking-Germanic"😄

The band, the music and their inspiration span influences and finds from the iron age, up to the viking age, but this song isn't exclusively viking. 
This specific song mentions the famous chant from the second Merseburg charm:
"sôse benrenkî, sôse bluotrenkî, sôse lidirenkî;
ben zi bena, bluot zi bluoda,
lid zi gelidin, sôse gelîmida sîn"

Which is old High German, but not old Norse (if you want to consider viking old Norse, "viking" is a bit of a catch-all). Granted, all Germanic languages like German, English, Dutch, etc. share the same ancestral proto-germanic root. 

The chant is an old healing chant, based on the words uttered by Wodanaz to mend his son's Balder's wounded horse:
"Like bone-sprain, so blood-sprain, so joint-sprain:
Bone to bone, blood to blood,
joints to joints, so may they be mended."

The viking age only lasted from about 750 to 1100 AD, whereas the chant in this song probably predates the viking age by many centuries. 

I'd say I'm sorry for going off on a tangent, here, but I wouldn't mean it :D

Here is a short "Album" (approx. 33 min) with 7 tracks. If someone wants to listen, have fun (works with all common players without a download), you don't have to load your SSD unnecessarily. Music is always a matter of taste.

Nice weekend.

Funnily enough I've never played it, only watched English translated walkthrough, but music reminds me of PS1 era games, some of which I've played(Crash 1/3, CTR, Spyro 3, Gex 2, Legend of Mana, list goes on a little more), maybe this is why it gives off the feeling of nostalgia.
