On top of the obvious symbolism, the mention of "Valhalla!" leaves no doubt that they were to have been from an Odinic culture. The source of inspiration was likely the popular cable TV series 'Vikings' which airs another season in a couple of weeks.

Among other things, the Vikings were significant because they were the last great European Pagan Empire; albeit largely a "trading empire." Although they were cast as Vikings in this ad, in my perception, the black skull and crossbones somehow suggests the Goths.
