Der bor en bonde på vilden ø
Han havde to døtre ved bord
Den ene var som mælk og blod
Den anden så sort som jord
For den de begge var forelskede i
Ville til den yngste datter fri
Ingen skal forglemme mig
Når harpen begynder at synge

Den yngste gik med udslagen hår
Den ældste med falske råd:
"Lad os ned til havet gå
Og vaske os rene fra båd"
Den unge trådte ud på breden sten
Den anden stødte hende ud med sit ben

Det var to unge spillemænd
De vandrede langs med strand
Da de ser den søsters lig
Ført op på det hvide sand
Af knoglerne og hendes gyldne hår
Gjorde de en harpe - smuk som vår

Harpen bringes til bondens gård
Og alle kan kende dens sang
Min søster tog mit unge liv
Men aldrig skal hun tage min mand
I aften sidder hun på brudebænk
I morgen bliver hun på bålet brændt for
Ingen skal forglemme mig
Når harpen begynder at synge

10-second recap for the non-vikings; Two sisters, both into the same dude. One murders the other. A couple of musicians find the body and uhm... makes a harp out of the hair and bones. The harp is brought home and it's music somehow tells the dead sisters story, and while the murderess gets married that evening, she ends burned on the stake next morning. 

Dark enough for ya? Sweet dreams! 😜

Me like. It's the summation of voice, beat and folk that does it for me

Especially when the song's called "2 Sisters" ;-) Pretty good. I'd like to hear more from them.

Thanks again RP - Will definately rotate this band (for me, totally unheard - until now) some more.

Sounds a bit like Garmana (hope spelled it right), but it's cool :)
Both groups' albums are distributed in the US by Northside. Coincidence? Perhaps...

WTF? Danish lyrics on Radioparadise... :D Well, this is far from all Danish music has to offer. I don't actually like Sorten Muld that much, but it's quite nice to hear litle Denmark in the big world.. ;) - Knorr, Danish

Wow, another one of those "I can't believe I'm hearing this on RP" moments - unlike the below reader, I'm not Danish (heard about them from a Norwegian friend of mine) and like Sorten Muld a lot. :)

Thought I heard someone singing in danish! LOL About the last thing I'd expect to hear anywhere outside Denmark. Never been a big fan of Sorten Muld (which btw. means something along the lines of " black earth" or "black soil") though.... :-) Freespirit

I am hearing a celtic voice with this indian back beat and middleeastern back music. What exactly is happening here? And then to be laid over an electronica track with a really bad electrical guitar sound and horrible drum beats... ack! Too much, too much. Oh, and the late coming violin... My ears are bleeding.
