      Sven Potelle, you know the song is about Thor's death right? His battle with Jörmundgandr during Ragnarok.. so.. not the best theme song imo :P

      If Thor Rag would have been a serious movie, yes, but since it wasn’t AA would have been a waste. Plus mainstream just will NOT use anything with growler vocals, even if it’s incredible like AA. It’s silly

    • @onelove101unity
      @onelove101unity Před 6 lety +18

      Never thought of them as death metal, far too melodic. Death metal makes me think of bands like Cannibal Corpse and Napalm Death who I can't stand, I can actually listen to Amon Amarth even though I don't like the vocal style.

    • @kheidal

    • @onelove101unity
      @onelove101unity Před 6 lety +3

      What actually makes it still death metal at all though? It's nowhere near as heavy as those death, you can actually make out with the vocalist is saying, the drums aren't as intense, it loses the very essence of death metal?

    In old Norse mythology, Jörmundgandr (or the Midgard Serpent) is a monstrous snake, that encircles the Earth (Midgard) and biting its own tail. When it releases its tail, Ragnarök will begin. The last meeting between the serpent and Thor is predicted to occur at Ragnarök, when Jörmungandr will come out of the sea and poison the ocean and the sky. Thor will kill Jörmungandr and then walk nine paces before falling dead, having been poisoned by the serpent's venom.

  • @creamnwheat
    @creamnwheat Před 5 lety +209

    All of their songs are stories. You can listen to any of them for viking stories. Listen to 'Fate of Norns' and get hit by the feels. Listen to 'the Hero' and understand the mercenary with a turn of heart. Listen to 'Under the Northern Star' and sail with a viking at night.
    Seriously man. Where most metal is filled up with religiousness, rebelliousness, anger, or something edgy or whatever...Amon Amarth and a few other bands are just telling badass stories with the intensity they deserve.
    They're all good.

I noticed their album surtur's rising on the shelf. I thought "well this look's pretty cool. If it sucks at least it's only 10 dollars." Best 10 dollars I have ever spent.

    Here's something you could react to!
    Bathory; their album "Blood Fire Death" is the first official viking metal album. Being released in 1988, it had influences of old school metal and folk music and is generally a little slower than "normal" metal. Some songs you should check out is the title track "Blood Fire Death" or "A Fine Day To Die"

  • @Loonaticx
    @Loonaticx Před 6 lety +27

    That a boy. I absolutely knew you'd dig it. It's seriously surging with energy, and I promise, while a great deal of their songs are equally as energizing, while telling the myths, lore and fables of a culture not given much exposure through the mainstream. So, all that being said, while keeping the lyrics in mind for each other song you listen to by them, you should definitely, DEFINITELY, check out Guardians of Asgaard, God's of War Arise, Loki's Treachery (Hermod's Ride to Hel), Where Silent Gods Stand Guard, The Hero, but most of all (which is a hard thing for me to say), Tattered Banners Bloody Flags. Have fun man, I know we will!

    I think Amon Amarth is one of the most glorious Melodic Death metal bands ever existed. Sounds brutal, aggressive but also powerful and satisfying the same time.
    Have heard the first time 1 year ago and it was mind blowing but wanted to get more of it.
    Please react to Mystic Prophecy. One of my favorite Thrash metal bands of mine. Here some tracks the produced:
    To hell and back, Children of the damned, Warriors of the northern seas, Armies of hell, Metal brigade, 300 in blood (based on a story)

      Hippie Grinder 669 But Darkthrone and Mayhem are still from Norway. Singing in English obviously enables a wider audience to enjoy your music so it's not really that strange that most bands sing in English, not really relevant though.
      Compare our freaking populations and then how many metal bands there are in respective countries. Fact is there's waaaaaaaaaaay more metal bands per capita in the Scandinavian countries than anywhere else in the world. (www.gislounge.com/map-of-heavy-metal-bands-by-country-per-capita/)

Fun fact; I have seen Amon Amarth at least 8 times. The day this album dropped, (October 2009, cant remeber the date) I saw them play at Slims in San Fransisco. I was front row, BELTING out this song, the singer, legendary Johann Hegg reached out to me. I thought he was going for the Viking handshake (one finger up the arm so you know if they had a dagger), and PULLED ME ONSTAGE. He held the mic between us as wee belted out"TWILIGHT OF THE THUNDERGOD" Coolest thing ever.

    He was surprised that I suggested it and asked me after the lesson how it came so
    Well i just love them , they are one of my alltime loves (New Album End 2018/Beginning 2019 !!!!)
    Then he said :
    Oh cool , my alltime Fav is Amon Amarth
    Me : Who are they ?
    Teacher : Oh shit , u don't know them .... well i'm your teacher , so i'll teach u now : forget todays homework, Listen to this

      @terrentorgeson4515 Před 4 lety +5

      There's a few resons for that. The main ones being that there is no "holy text" for Norse Pagans. Everything we know about the Æsir are stories/poems that had been passed down for hundreds, even thousands of years, so they are technically myths. Another reason is that there's really no title given to people following the old gods. We're called heathens and pagans because that's what Christians called our ancestors before they forced Christianity in northern Europe. So calling it Norse Mythology, etc. is the one of the best titles we can give it so people who don't know anything about our religion (most commonly referred to as Ásatrú by its followers) so people can understand.
