about

This track features middle eastern and Viking percussion, a horseshoe, a santoor, a lyre, a Welsh crwth, some throat singing, a viola da gamba and some less describable sounds.

Brokkr and Eitri are two dwarves that live inside the mountains of Svartalfheim in a big network of caves and tunnels. Brokkr and Eitri are famous for having created three precious objects for the Aesir in a bet with the trickster Loki.

In this bet with Loki, Brokkr and Eitri crafted a magical boar named Gullinbursti with beautiful golden bristles. The boar was made entirely from gold, and it shines so bright that it turns night into day wherever it travels. The boar can also run better than any horse through water or air, except Odin’s horse Sleipnir.

The two brothers also made the enchanted golden ring Draupnir. This ring was gifted to Odin. This ring is very unique - it has the ability to multiply itself. Every ninth night, eight new rings will ‘drip’ from Draupnir. Each one of the rings is the same size and weight as the original ring.

The third object was the hammer Mjölnir, Thor’s mighty hammer which he uses to slay many jötnar (giants). But the hammer also has the ability to revive, which Thor used to bring his two goats Tanngrisnir and Tanngnjóstr back from the dead.
