Turning on subtitles is highly recommended for that one.

Odin/Thor is the guest vocal Thomas Winkler, at the time still Angus McFife in Gloryhammer. As with most/all? Nanowar songs it's loaded with references (Guitar techs... Odin's role in Santa Claus myths and so on). My favorite is that "instruction manual" for building a Viking long-boat - in addition to the kit you just bought you need two screwdrivers (flat & cross), a pen, a shield, an axe and beer (so everything else is in the kit). I assume it has to be the same boat we also see in the water later. Also, the area of Sweden IKEA was founded in is known as the Swedish bible-belt because there's a lot of it is small Evangelical churchs which tends to be really into gospel singing. The Christmas dinner at the start is more Italian than Swedish though.

Yes, the Holy Book if IKEA is the instruction manual for assembling one of their products. The name of the product is in the upper corner in Futhark runes, and if translated is a variant spelling for the drakkar, the Viking dragon-headed longship, which is also what is pictured on the manual above the required tools. So, I would think that the boat we see is indeed the assembled version. And perhaps that's why he's so joyous on seeing it, given how he reacts to the still-boxed Kallax at the end - he knows he doesn't have to put it together.

@@TheMilankr Both. Plenty of time next year to do "Warriors of the World" before doing "Krampus" at Christmas. Both is always good. 😀

Best Christmas song ever, because it reveals the true origin of Santa Claus before it was hijacked by Coca-Cola (he wears red and white for a reason) - Odin. Only Odin's magical, eight-legged horse, Sleipnir, (eight legs, eight reindeer, coincidence? not buying it) could fly all over the world in one night to bring gifts to the good children from the white-bearded All-Father. Angus McFife (Thomas Winkler) played and sang Odin in this video in his traditional Gloryhammer outfit. NOS lead singers are Carlo Fiaschi (main character) and Rafaello Venditti (Odin's priest). NOS are an Italian parody metal band. They take the piss out of a lot of European metal bands, but they're mostly musically pretty good. The whole Gloryhammer Angus McFife saga(s) are magnificent.

Norwegian Reggaeton next; You'll enjoy it immensely, I think.

Fantastic reaction, Ru. Thanks to Julia for letting you do this. Nanowar of Steel are comedy, and they make fun of how seriously many metal bands take themselves. Musically and satirically they are among the best. For most of their 20 year existence, this was merely a very serious hobby, with the musicians having other jobs, like accounting and astrophysics. "Uranus" is delightfully juvenile, "Bestie Di Seitan" is vocally wonderful, and "La Polenta Taragnorack" was written during a livestream with input from their fans.

Your holiday videos are such a delight! Your goofiness, excellent analysis, and commitment to the character and costume are a great recipe for entertainment. Happy holidays to Ru and all the versions of Julia😁💫

This was an amazing reaction! Thank you so much for blessing us with it. I hope you have the greatest Christmas ever! As others have said you will really love their song Norwegian Reggaeton.

And Julia reveals her true persona as Ru, the spirit of Christmas for cool people. You and Elizabeth need to get together and cosplay the heck out of Gloryhammer. Merry Christmas And happy Samhain to all. See you at the Yule bonfire and don't forget the mead.

What a wonderful makeup! 😻💖 NANOWAR have many more such masterpieces very much worthy of making reactions to them: "Uranus", "Call of Cthulhu", "And then I noticed that she was a gargoyle", "Heavy metal kibbles" (Parody of Judas Priest's "Painkiller") and so on... 😺 ))

And Happy New Year! You are the best of the best. Thank you for your dedication.

Love the effort that you clearly put into this! A very Merry Christmas to you Julia! Ru is super cute ❤

Great make-up this year, and AWESOME connection with this year and last year. I never would have thought of that. Many KUDOS on that, Ru. I mean Julia. And thanks for continuing the Characters this year too.

Great song and break down merry Christmas Julia from the UK 🍻

Looking in a very festive mood, looks like we’re about to have some fun 🎊 🎉 😊

Finally listened to this enough times that I can stop giggling long enough to consume vocal analyses. I got distracted, though, when you said "flappy bits." All I could think was "Say it. You KNOW you want to. SAY it. Say 'Whacka-whacka-whacka!' I'm sure Elizabeth hasn't copyrighted it yet, so is not theft, just HOMAGE [a word that must be uttered in comically haughty tone, of course.]

I thought nothing could beat the Grinch, I was wrong! I love Ru! Love the way you react and teach us with each video you react to, but, loving the cosplay so much more with the reacts! Great work and please keep them coming!

Merry Christmas Julia, and you look absolutely adorable :)

Just a couple of things they replaced the hebrew " Shema Israel, Adonai eloheinu Adonai ehad" (more or less listen Israel , the Lord is our God , the Lord is one) to "Shema yggdrasil (the cosmic tree) Odinai eloheinu Odinai Echad (Odin is our God , Odin is One). and for non italian speaking the FALEGN-AMEN joke , falegname is the italian word for carpenter.

You're just the right kind of weird Julia 😉 And yes some Christmases I definitely also wish I could stay in a fantasy. Thanks for adding a bit of light to the holiday season 👍

Merry Christmas from Nashville !

Love your outfit! Have a great Christmas.

It's always worth an Ikea trip just for the food!

Came here for my fellow-Italian comical power metal and laughs, stayed for the interesting voice analysis, I wasn't expect that.

I really enjoy Caption Julia and Editing Julia. But chemically enhanced Julia is on another plane. Great fun and matched the "Valhalleluja" vibe. Brilliant.

He sings about systembolaget. Its where you can buy stronger alcohol in Sweden. Its the government who has the monopoly of that. You can get beer up to 3,5% and cider etc in the stores the rest is in systembolaget. And the choir are chanting Ikea furnitures from the Swedish Ikea catalog.

So i was curious and googled Systembolaget It is a swedish state owned chain of liquor stores that is used as an instrument to assert the swedish policy on alcohol. It has a monopol over the sale of all alcoholic beverages with an alcohol content of more than 3.5% vol (7% proof). So if you are far away from Systembolaget, you can't buy a drink.

Sweetest Ru ever! Hail to our italian brothers Nanowar of Steel!🤘🏼

Valhalleluja is one of the funniest songs ever, I'll never get tired of it I could have it on repeat every day glad you finally got to hear it

This was very fun. I enjoyed this reaction and analysis very much. As well as the new Julia delusional personality.

Rude-olf poking your tongue at us on Chrissie day 🤣 Have a great festive season Julia hopefully sunny for you as it is now rainy for us up on Cape York! (which is better than stinking hot)

Have to watch 3 times: Once for the vid with the blues brothers James Brown vibs,.. then for the analysis to gain a understanding why I enjoyed the vid so much. Thirdly for the reaction of R.J.D. which did make this a joyful and merry event. Thank you again for your sharing of the knowledge, time and good feeling

Love all of your characters. They are so much fun. One bit of info, Systembolaget is the National Swedish Liquor store chain owned by the government.

Nice cosplay :D Merry Christmas!

Oh, this was perfect! I love Ru-Julia-dolph! And the song is, of course, a complete belter, but with tongue lodged firmly in cheek. (Two qualities that are de rigeur from Nanowar of Steel.) I like that you clearly made Ru a fallow deer. For more marvellous vocals from Angus McFife, I strongly recommend The Unicorn Invasion of Dundee. Which is a song about how Dundee was invaded by unicorns. Believe me, it might sound crazy but it works.

Woah I didn't expect manic depressive Ru-dolf. When it Raindeers it pours. There There Ru you can always work at Ikea, 😁 Great cosplay by the way.

Well that was really fun. Also there was a song in there somewhere.

Best Ikea ad ever!

Another fantastic job Julia or Ru Julia. Im guessing that your hooves were wearing off so they had to go.

I learnt an important lesson in this reaction: it is very important to know how to use the tongue.... besides that, great and funny song and reaction (and costume), I discovered Nanowar of steel with Norweigean Reggaeton, which you can say by the title it is worth reacting to it too, but when I came to Valhalleluja it became clearly my favourite.
