This is another Song in a Pagan Metal Style with a Theme about Dwarves. The Song is dead serious - about as serious as a Dwarf saying he's scared of Orcs. It may sound chaotic, but that's because the Song tells an actual Story like a Movie:

00:00-00:12 - Confrontation
00:13-01:09 - Happy Killing Time for the Dwarfs
01:10-01:37 - Orc Horde Theme
01:38-02:03 - Orc Assault
02:04-02:15 - You mess with the wrong Dwarf
02:16-02:32 - Let's show them how it's done
02:33-02:39 - Troddnikl, Awakening of the Dwarfen Warriors Heart
02:40-03:15 - Let's end this

Arranged 100% by myself on Keyboard and Guitar as always. / Produced with Magix Music Maker Pro 16.
I don't know who made this artwork but I know it is a depiction of the Battle of the Five Armies.

Tolkien didn't invent dwarfs. Dwarfs are part of Norse Mythology and Switzerland's history is connected to them because Germanic tribes settled in Switzerland after the collapse of the Roman Empire. In that time many dwarven myths and stories were created throughout our country and they still live on, especially in our mountain regions.^^

[AdrianvonZiegler]

Troddnikl and Fiudlar are two Dwarfs that I invented by myself for the Songs. I'm Swiss... so... inventing Dwarfs is kind of inside my Genes. xD

@dragonoforigin
Sorry Man, but I'll define Pagan Metal for you shortly: It's Heavy Metal that includes a Pagan Theme and Pagan Instruments. This Song is about Creatures from Norse Mythology, hence Pagan, and uses Pagan Instruments. It IS Pagan Metal, with orchestral Parts of course. ;)

Love that confident little "Ha!" at the end of the "confrontation" part.

[LPersFromNowhere]

"Happy killing time for the dwarves!"
That line made me laugh.

[adarL]

Love how YouTube splits the playbar according to the timestamps in the disc. now.

[luislopez]

I hear this song and Gimli just pops into my mind coming from the fact that Gimli is a dwarf himself.

[ZainaArekat]

This is great, sounds good for a movie soundtrack.

[DeadAnubir]

This is the true Pagan Celtic Metal. Adrian, you are the best.

[adaenis]

:) You have no idea how happy I am to see THIS:

"This video is a response to Eluveitie - Uis Elveti"

Adrian, you win. Enough said.

[rainnmoon]

I freaking love this song. And the creature sounds and that little "Ha!" was epic XD 

[alliaskis]

"Happy Killing Time for the Dwarfs" - This is my kind of metal.

[kingkoi]

Could listen to the celtic music all day..

[Talavania]

Also, Tolkien drew a number of names for his dwarves from norse legends.

Part of the Völuspá, which is a poem where wisewoman talks to Odin about the creation of the world, reads, 'There was Motsognir | the mightiest made | of all the Dwarfs | and Durin next...Althjof, Dvalin, Nar, and Nain | Niping, Dain, Bifur, Bofur | Bombur, Nori... Vindalf, Thrain, | Thekk and Thorin... Helvang, Gloin, Dori, Ori'
Also in there is the name of Gandalf, although he's not a dwarf in Lord of the Rings.

How could I have ever missed this type of music....you have brought my soul alive as your music is fantastic!

[JMSLionheart]

@AdrianvonZiegler And not only that, but the best Pagan Metal I've ever heard, by far!
