📋 About This Mod
This mod contains alternative viking / fantasy themed music from Celestial Aeon Project and forfedre artists as mp3 files ready to be integrated to your Valheim game. The prerequisite is to install Custom Audio mod first because this mod relies on the additional music integration offered by it. There is no copyright problems regarding the tunes as I am the composer / producer of Celestial Aeon Project and forfedre.
You can find most of the tunes in this mod on this Valheim Extra Music Mod playlist:

Vortex installation:
If you use Vortex, the install should work straight via Vortex itself, just enable the mod and re-elevate the Vortex environment.
Manual installation:
1) first download and install the Custom Audio mod from https://www.nexusmods.com/valheim/mods/90
2) download this mod and you should find a CustomAudio.zip file which you should copy / move to the Valheim\BepInEx\plugins folder
3) extract the zip file and it should create multiple subfolders to \BepInEx\plugins\CustomAudio\Music root folder containing mp3 files inside each. Folders include blackforest, combat, evening etc.
That's it! When you start the game, it should play the relevant mp3 files as music in the scenes defined by those subfolder names. Mountain tunes when you are in mountain biome, forest in forest etc.
You can find Celestial Aeon Project and forfedre on streaming services as well:
