They're lucky to have three great vocalists and they make intelligent use of the different vocal styles. Ylva's voice is beautiful and Mats with his baritone is a lot of fun, but my favorite is Joakim with his growly vocals and powerful stage presence.
I love to see people who react to songs and after that they talk about the sounds, the voices even the history behind it. You do a very good work, you make people who maybe don't really like metal to much get interested about this beautiful and complex genre. Thank you, greettings from Spain.
Brothers of metal is one of my absolute favorite bands. Their first album have 14 tracks and all of them are unique and really, really good. Also love their videos which always have some little fun thing to look for (like the foot in Njord). Sweden rocks! 😎
I love them. They have fun, and they're excellent musicians. Occasionally they catch you with a really moving song with a great message, such as "One". And Ylva has a voice to send you to Valhalla with a smile on your face. 🤘❤️
Love this channel for you guys because you intrject some knowledge of the bands and history of the music to boot, youre not just your generic reactions, theres alot more here which is why i'm hooked on you guys...lol
We do try to get in that bit of extra background info, and it's awesome to see that there is an interest for this deeper dive into the music. Thank you, Andrew, for your support!
Honestly, I love both of their albums, but I actually prefer Emblas Saga over Prophecy Of Ragnarok. From the day it was released, it is a mainstay in my car music rotation. Love their sound and their theme. Would love nothing more than to see them tour in the States when touring resumes!
Thanks for the work you do (band and channel). Hail to all sisters and brothers of metal in this world! Art saves lives! 🤘 Also, nice groomed beard! Nice!
Hello! Nice reaction! Haha the town in sweden with most metal density must probably be Gothenburg, and not Falun =) You have bands like In Flames, Dark Tranquillity, At the Gates, Dead by April, Dream Evil, Evergrey, Graveyard, Hammerfall, Hardcore Superstar, Mustasch. All great bands =) You should REALLY check out Dark Tranquillity. I would suggest Insanity's Crescendo - Dark Tranquillity. Cheers, William
Länge leve Göteborg 🤘 We will check DT, I haven't been paying attention to what they've been up to on recent years but am familiar with their earlier stuff. Thanks for the rec - Anamaria
I didn't knew Njord. Gonna listen them carefully first. Yggdrasil battle at the end was pretty epic... Smashing a shield with the sword as He-Man would do. xD I listened a band called Turisas before knowing about Yggdrasil and both are almost in the same line. Please. react to GWAR! you surely will have fun and a WTF expression.
Great react 👍👍👍 I have a view Bands for you. 😀 SONATA ARCTICA BEAST IN BLACK GHOST AMORPHIS VOLBEAT AVANTHASIA ICED EARTH SAVATAGE All the Best for you and your Channel. 🤘
This was awesome! Can you do another BOM reaction video at a later date but just pick the songs you actually like next time 😂😂 Amazing video though and I'm really happy to see these guys on your channel 🤘😁🤘
So glad you liked it! It can be a bit hard to choose sometimes between favorite songs and those with videos. But one of my favorite BOM songs will be coming up in a battle with some other bands that sing about the same diety 🤫 Stay tuned! -Michael
@@MetalAcademix that's awesome! It felt a little strange at first as there are plenty of videos to choose from but then it became apparent that there has been a little time between recording and uploading this video, so now it makes more sense! Glad to hear you have more BoM content on the way! 🤘😁🤘 Your channel rocks I was already a fan, thanks for making such awesome videos keep up the great work! 🍻
3:30 "not so much to do in Falun". Totally understand that you cant be well read on every small town in Sweden. So this is just a "the more you know" comment. :) Falun happen to be one of the "winter sport meccas of Sweden". When ever Stockholm apply to host the winter Olympics they rely on have much of the events in Falun. So if you like winter sports you will have alot to do in Falun!
Guilty as charged - I've never been and thought there was just Sabaton Open Air and Dalarnas Museum 😂 Falun has my vote for Winter Olympics 2030! ⛷️ -Michael
I cannot express enough how much I disagree in which album is the best, Emblas Saga is so much more varied and dynamic and I think they had really developed their sound so much by the time they got to making it.
Thank you for your support! We are a bit different compared to your typical reaction channel, so it's understandable that we don't have the same number of followers (yet). But we have the *best* followers, that's what counts! - Anamaria
theres 1 main difrent between brothers of metal and amaranth and thats that the femail singer are as god live as on studio track shure amranths singer are cute but she isnt god live but Ylva is ;)
I have yet to see BoM play live, but from what I gather from YT, Ylva's voice carries just as well live as in their recordings. They are supposed to go on a big tour next year, so maybe I'll catch them live in 2021 (esp if they will play in Sweden). - Anamaria
Since Mr Academix seems to have a little bit of a crush on Ylva 😉 and her voice you probably want to check out her other band Good harvest. Its a duo with another girl and TOTALLY different compared to Brothers of Metal. This is one I like with them from 7 years ago but they have a lot of new material as well: czcams.com/video/LYYSskRUy0A/video.html

I think Joakim gives them vocals an edge that keeps the band firmly planted in metal instead of just general rock. You take the growl away and it's too soft of a sound, imo.
I personally agree with you entirely, Jordan. I feel that the harshness of the voice balances Ylva's singing. So does Mats' narrative voice. Otherwise it could get maybe too "soft". - Anamaria
I have no idea what you've done with the clip but you're playing Njord too slow. It should be slightly faster and higher pitched. This does NOT do it justice. Edit: Damn. You butchered Prophecy of Ragnarok and Yggdrasil in the same way. Too slow and low. First AND last time I'll watch anything here. Big BoM fan but this sucks.
This is fantastic! Follow this channel for the sake of Odin, our All-Father!
Hail Odin, Njord, and all you fantastic Brothers of Metal! 💙💛🍻
@@MetalAcademix You missed the best part of Njord by stopping the video before the end! 🤦You never stop a video before it runs out. 😭
It's nice how you got a Valkyrie as your lead singer ^^
for Odin
I wouldn’t mess with her.
They're lucky to have three great vocalists and they make intelligent use of the different vocal styles. Ylva's voice is beautiful and Mats with his baritone is a lot of fun, but my favorite is Joakim with his growly vocals and powerful stage presence.
Emblas Saga is great straight throu it. No bad songs.
I love to see people who react to songs and after that they talk about the sounds, the voices even the history behind it. You do a very good work, you make people who maybe don't really like metal to much get interested about this beautiful and complex genre.
Thank you, greettings from Spain.
Thank you! Glad you're enjoying it - we'll definitely be featuring some bands from Spain later on! -Michael
@@MetalAcademix i'd love to see it

I personally like the Mead Song. Ylva’s vocals are tremendous and it really gets you fired up.
I personally like Hel the most. It's awesome and tells a great story
I love this band from the first time I listened to them. Prophecy of ragnarok is probably my favorite of them too.

I bet going drinking with these guys is AMAZING.

damn im proud to be a swede, do much metal in our land 🤘🏼
You have a really great selection of bands so far!! Have a nice Week.
And don't forget Civil War, another great power metal band from Falun, formed by former Sabaton members
Definitely good, but I like Nils better with Astral Doors! 🤭 -Michael
I knew him from Wuthering Heights, but they apparently have a new singer now, who also doesn't sound bad at all :)
Chain Breaker , do chain breaker!
Great react 👍👍👍
I have a view Bands for you. 😀
SONATA ARCTICA

All the Best for you and your Channel. 🤘
Thank you for your suggestions, some of which were already on our radar, and for your suppport. 🤘 🤘 🤘 - Anamaria
Nooo you stopped Njord just before a Willow death scene
If you want a brothers of metal song that is solely Ylva, Weaver of Fate is exactly that.
Thank you for the recommendation! - Anamaria

Where did you get the mariestad beer from?
you said you would like to hear ylva's voice without the male vocals? look up good harvest.
Y'all do not have nearly the subscribers you deserve keep up the good work and you will get there
Thank you for your support! We are a bit different compared to your typical reaction channel, so it's understandable that we don't have the same number of followers (yet). But we have the *best* followers, that's what counts! - Anamaria
min man sitter och suger på en mariestad, representing sweden, ive seen this video three or four times now i only just noticed
Another band from Falun are Cryonic Temple. Try them
Are they still around? I only know their album In Thy Power, and that's way back in time...
theres 1 main difrent between brothers of metal and amaranth and thats that the femail singer are as god live as on studio track shure amranths singer are cute but she isnt god live but Ylva is ;)

You had the videos on 0.75x the speed when playing them so they sound a little bit different but anyways good video
