Since 2016, Danheim has released eight records on his own independent label.[6] His style has been described by reviewers as 'Brian Eno doing the soundtrack for Game of Thrones'[3] or 'inspired folk music, with dark undertones'.[7] Lyrically, his music deals with such mythological tales as Hrungnir's fight with Thor, the story of Fimbul Winter and much more.[7]
In his 2019 release Hringrás, Danheim recorded the last three minutes of a track using only parts of dead plants and animals, as well as some real human bones.[8]
In 2019, Danheim also contributed music to the soundtrack of three episodes from the second half of the sixth season of the History Channel series Vikings.[9] One of the actors from the show, Georgia Hirst, enjoyed Danheim's contributions to the score so much that she released a social media video praising his music.[10]
As of January 2020, his YouTube channel receives an average of 90,000 new viewers each day. He has 247,000 subscribers and over 50 million video views in total.[11]
In March 2020 Danheim released his third full-length album of 11 tracks, Skapanir.[12] He decided to release the album earlier than planned, to help entertain his fans under lock-down or in isolation due to the 2020 Coronavirus/COVID-19 Pandemic.[13] Reviewers praised the album's 'visceral and hypnotic' composition, and noted the varied instrumentation that produced a 'multidimensional Viking soundbath'.[14] Teemu Esko of Kaos Magazine called Skapanir 'versatile and touching, while rich and immersive'.
