Oath of the Raven
A cinematic fusion of ancient Norse tribal sounds and modern dark trap. War drums, tagelharpa, nyckelharpa, Nordic flutes, throat singing, deep 808 basslines, and atmospheric textures like wind, fire, and battle horns. Vocal performances alternate between whispered/spoken male verses, ethereal female vocals in the pre-chorus, and layered epic choirs in the chorus. The mood is mystical, aggressive, and ritualistic — inspired by Viking mythology, frost-covered landscapes, and warrior oaths. Think of a soundtrack blending Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, MABG, and cinematic trap. FX include raven calls, thunder, icy textures, and echoing reverb. Perfect for powerful intros, epic fight scenes, or blood-bound anthems.

Lyrics
Inspired by what is for me the best CREED saga ⚔️
“Oath of the Raven” by MABG is a cinematic fusion of ancient Norse ritual and modern trap energy. With pounding war drums, icy atmospheres, and haunting vocals, the track evokes the spirit of Viking warriors bound by blood and shadow. Whispered verses, ethereal chants, and thunderous choruses tell the story of warriors who ride through storm and flame, bound by an oath only ravens remember. Inspired by Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, and dark cinematic scores, this is an anthem for those who walk between light and darkness.
Intro – Spoken, distant male voice
In blood and wind, we rise…
With blades and fate, we carve the skies…
Verse 1 – Low rap / whisper flow
I was born in the mist, where the ice never sleeps
Axe in my grip, where the silence bleeds
No gods, no kings, just rage and breath
We walk with wolves and laugh at death
Pre-Chorus – Ethereal female vocal
The cold won’t break us, fire won’t burn…
Through storm and shadow, we return…
Chorus – Epic, cinematic
We ride like thunder
Under the flame of the northern sky
We strike like shadows
No fear, no gods can watch us die
Oath of the raven, blood is our hymn
The wind is screaming — let war begin
Verse 2 – Spoken growl / rap rhythm
I see the halls of the fallen men
They whisper songs in the breath of wind
Frost in my chest, runes on my skin
Vengeance sharp like a serpent’s grin
Bridge – Nordic chant, rhythmic + FX
Skål... Skål... Skål…
(Drums rising, raven cries, distant horns)
Final Chorus – Layered voices, epic burst
We ride like thunder
Under the flame of the northern sky
We strike like shadows
No fear, no gods can watch us die
Oath of the raven, blood is our hymn
The wind is screaming — let war begin
Outro – Spoken, solemn male voice – slow and deep
We work in the shadows…
To serve the light…
