History Music / Chieftain

* HornyVikings: The Vikings in the series are portrayed as typical a {{Proud Warrior Race|Guy}} who invades and plunders other land in the name of glory. They don't wear horned helmets, though.

"Chieftain" is a series of narrative songs produced by Music/ClamaviDeProfundis, which follows the story of Bjorn Erikson, the son of a Viking chieftain as he leads his tribe on a voyage of conquest, eager to prove the Vikings' might and military prowess. But on one fateful expedition to plunder the monasteries Northern Scotland, Bjorn faces Fr. Edvard, a former-Viking-turned-Christian-monk, who will challenge the Chieftain's son's beliefs about what it means to be strong.

* HeelFaithTurn: The creators state that conversion and redemption is one of the major themes of "Chieftain"'s story.

* YouKilledMyFather: Defied in "Hidden Helper"'s song description, where Bjorn tells Fr. Edvard that his father has been slain by a Chieftain of another tribe. However, he has chosen not to retaliate against Ulf because of his newfound faith.

* YouKilledMyFather: Defied in "Hidden Helper"'s song description, where Bjorn tells Fr. Edvard that his father has been slain by a Chieftain of another tribe. However, he has chosen not to retaliate against Ulf because of his newfound faith.

* CherubicChoir: "Strong" is mainly composed of powerful riffs and loud beats, but is interspersed with two segments of softer chorals.
** The first was sung by the Viking women, who bids farewell to their men as they leave for the mainlands. The melody is both sorrowful and uplifting, and sounds almost hymnal despite being the only section that ''doesn't'' mention the gods/God.
** As the Vikings approaches the monastery to raid the place, the song segues into a Latin chorus sung by the monks--who, despite having no means to defend themselves or fight back against their attackers, remain fearless in the face of almost certain death. Their serenity is meant to symbolize inner / spiritual strength, which contrasts the Vikings' inclination towards brute force and physical strength.

* FourSeasons: The second song, "Árstiðir", uses the four season motifs to depict the stages of life. The Spring segment is sung by a young child named Kaia, who views life as joyful and carefree. Her older sister, Brigit, who is probably a teen or young adult, sings the summer section, and she expresses her desire to shape her destiny and build a foundation for a better future while acknowledging that life has its share of pain. Autumn is sung by Hulda, a mother who has experienced a fair share of troubles, but still strives to persevere. The final segment, winter, is sung by an elderly woman who is nearing the end of her life and, as she prepares for her final rest, reminisces about the good things in life, while forgetting the pain.
