"Mabaton" in Composing worlds Vidoc

Games Other Halo

At 0:13 in the new vidoc, the camera focuses on the title page of some sheet music. It says “Mabaton - Neil Davidge”. I have looked up that word, and I can’t find it. Anyone have any insight on that word, or what it might mean?

Perhaps it is the name of something in Halo 4? It’s just something that intrigued me when I watched the video.

I dunno but I totally typo fudged it as I double checked on google and mataban led me to this which leads to this… Murderously cool word.

“That makes two of us.” Hahaha. I did the same thing just really recently, much like you, nothing. Possibly a spoiler.

It’s frustrating that looking it up surfaces nothing of value.
