I added on Youtube an excerpt from "Screaming masterpiece" - a 2005 documentary film directed and written by Ari Alexander Ergis Magnússon about the music scene in Iceland.
A part about "Odin's raven magic", you can see there how they play on that amazing ancient stone marimba.
and also an awesome live video found on Youtube
Sigur Rós & Hilmar Örn Hilmarsson - Odin's raven magic (Live at the Barbican Hall 21-04-02)
A magnificent performance by Sigur Rós & Hilmar Örn Hilmarsson, accompanied by a string and brass orchestra and choir, as well as Steindor Andersen, chanting the 13th century icelandic poem "Odin's raven magic", upon which the piece is based.
Hilmar Örn Hilmarsson: "We never really made the transition to the modern world. So we are much more in touch with the occult - the invisible is so much with us. That is why Iceland is one of the spiritual centres of the world""
