It took google .24 seconds to show me that this promo..


..features this song, Sail by Awolnation. Not a very good song.


However, the music in the opening sequence is much better


it's If I Had a Heart by Fever Ray

Let's make it one then. I suspect that there will be plenty of speculation presented as fact in this new series because it's not exactly clear why the vikings did what they did. Sure, they needed resources. Yes, they had a violent culture and maybe just got bored. But why exactly all the raping and pillaging?

The History Channel already made a doc about the Vikings. The old one is a scholarly documentary though, not a scripted historical fiction.
