Korparna

Korparna, meaning "the ravens" in Swedish, is a term that can refer to several things, most notably a historical Swedish military unit and a popular song.

Historically, Korparna was a company within the Swedish Army, specifically associated with the Jämtland Ranger Regiment. This unit was known for its specialized training in mountain warfare and its distinctive raven emblem, a nod to the ravens that are common in the Jämtland region. The regiment itself was dissolved, and with it, the Korparna company ceased to exist as a formal military entity.

More widely known today is the song "Korparna" by the Swedish band Rammstein. While Rammstein is a German band, this song, which translates to "The Ravens," is one of their tracks sung in Swedish. The song features evocative lyrics and a driving rhythm, and has become a notable part of their repertoire, particularly for their Swedish-speaking fanbase. The themes within the song often touch upon folklore and nature, aligning with the imagery suggested by the title.
