We rode the rivers of the Eastern trail, Deep in the land of the Rus'. Following the wind in our sails, And the rhythm of the oars. No shelter in this hostile land, Constantly on guard. Ready to fight and defend Our ship 'til the bitter end. We came under attack, I received a deadly wound. A spear was forced into my back Still I fought on. When I am dead, Lay me in a mound. Raise a stone for all to see Runes carved to my memory Now here I lay on the river bank A long, long way from home Life is pouring out of me Soon I will be gone.

@@BlackDevilGamer138 yes indeed sir, I feel this way about every band that I like. Always seem to play with the most emotion in the beginning trying to be heard. As the popularity grows amongst these bands they begin to get better equipment and sound more polished but at the same time it's more standard radio if you will. To me it loses it s grit which is the very reason that I liked most of these bands to start with..
"Here I lie.. on WET SAND!! I Will NOT.. make it home!! I clench my sword... in my hand Say farewell to those I love!!" Johan is making words so powerful.
Our beloved Norwegian rat Cernunnos lost his battle with pneumonia today. He was the most caring and affectionate rat of our 25+. He was the first at the door; we keep them open at all times, with love in his eyes and lots of licking and affection for myself and all. I only name my pets after Cernunnos when they are the sweetest and most loving. We raised him from birth, he was almost 2 years of age my wife held him abreast all night and day, I placed my boar’s tusk with him to give him strength, which helped him live until 12:30 PM today Eastern Standard time. He was once a giant and mighty rat, yet as gentle and affectionate. He will be missed eternally; we will give him a pyre funeral, and bury him in a mound, with a stone with runes carved to his memory on one side, and Celtic Ogham on the other. I havenae felt this way about an animal friend since my dog Murphy passed in 2002. Let the ravens carry you home to the underworld gently….. Tha gaol agam ort Cernunnos! Jeg elsker deg Cernunnos!!! Aonghus William MacCready
To those who have liked my eulogy in any way and homage to the memory of the rat Cernunnos, I thank you, Slainte' to you all, Slainte' to all of your beloved animal friends.... Aonghus
Otman Abraham lothbrok I appreciate that, everyone who has liked and commented, hes been gone for about a year now, along with several other close to my heart rats, you need a strong heart to own rats, 3 years att the very most...
This was the first song I seen on Headbangers Ball on MTV2 years ago, that got me hooked. The next day me and my buddy both , bought that album. Been jammin Amon Amarth ever since. \m/ best Nordic metal ever . Keep up that awesome work Johan Hegg
Ok. I said before Amon Amarth was my top 5? No! I will say with an honest heart, this is my favorite band. Whenever I'm sad, lonely or angry I listen to the awesome lethality that is Amon Amarth and be it just one song or twelve, THEY MAKE ME FEEL BETTER! I really Do love you guys and all your fans. Rock on! I will always have a hand or horn raised for you and all!
The first time I ever listened to this song I was on deployment dealing with heavy shit and this song put it all in perspective. Been one of my favorite songs ever since.
So, here am I, finding this song which is almost as old as me, and after months of listening to these guys, I must say, they have always been a band born for greatness!🔥
This song is in my will and testament for when I die and get buried on my boat it will be I might finally be able to see this van live and a bunch of other bands have been wanting to see what you have seen in 2022 hopefully they play this live hopefully it's not just the newest album which was kind of Hit or Miss cuz obviously I want to be able to afford them for my own funeral
The middle to end part of the song is already in the "International Metal Valhalla", because let's be honest, the "metal beyond" is Scandinavian, it has to be. When I go I want to chat and drink with Lemmy and Bon Scott drinking beer from a horn in the presence of Odin.🥰🥰🥰🥰
Usually I don't like death metal but this band is AWESOME! This guy has a gruff satanic sound to his voice but I can actually understand the lyrics...and the lyrics are sad. I feel so sorry for that vicking laying in the wet sand by the river bleeding to death knowing he won't be going back home this time. This song is a real tear-jerker for me.
Heroes of a noble path wherein we all become immortalized by our deeds. Never will we be forgotten. Never will we be loathed for our endeavors. Never will we become hindered, for our purpose here is to do great things. We, who seek the glory of our ages must be granted our fill. We are the way of a long line of heroes, never shall we be denied our rightful place in history. Let us always lead our way into the future, so that all men shall reap the benefits of the seeds we have sown.

This may sound insane but it's a fact. Years ago while studying Odinism I discovered Amon Amarth continued my new belief as I grew older I noticed as we all do when we age there were wrinkles on my face. Across my face was a large X the Rune for G. Gifu which meaning is gift. So I began thinking what exactly did the God's gift me... The mark is still here today...

My lord, this is brutal stuff. I am very glad I found them, great turn from all that scene shit that every 'metal' fan is going crazy for. I truly pity them, they have no idea what true metal is, my friends, this is true metal.
@Nero1435 no they're not viking metal, they don't share any musical characteristics of the genre, just the lyrical theme. a good example of viking metal would be Enslaved or mid Bathory
Amon Amarth, still the kings of synchronized hair swinging.
hahahaha 🤣😂
Why is it not an Olympic sport yet!? ;)
10/10
Johan throws in a synchronised beard swing too
My band used to do this, but they're definitely the kings lol

50+ year old metalhead here. I rate the "With Odin on Our Side" album as a masterpiece of the Heavy Metal music genre.
Agree! Each song on this album is epic! :)
We rode the rivers of the Eastern trail,
Deep in the land of the Rus'.
Following the wind in our sails,
And the rhythm of the oars.
No shelter in this hostile land,
Constantly on guard.
Ready to fight and defend
Our ship 'til the bitter end.
We came under attack,
I received a deadly wound.
A spear was forced into my back
Still I fought on.
When I am dead,
Lay me in a mound.
Raise a stone for all to see
Runes carved to my memory
Now here I lay on the river bank
A long, long way from home
Life is pouring out of me
Soon I will be gone.
I tilt my head to the side
And think of those back home
I see the river rushing by
Like blood runs from my wound.
Here I lie on wet sand,
I will not make it home.
I clinch my sword in my hand,
Say farewell to those I love.
When I am dead,
Lay me in a mound.
Place my weapons by my side
For the journey to Hall up high
When I am dead,
Lay me in a mound.
Raise a stone for all to see
Runes carved to my memory
By the way this song is about a fight near river «Нева». It took place in 1240 year between russian and sweden arms on the northern part of Russia.
@@gorom9153 i do not think so, cause in 1240 swedish warriors were crusaders, so what runes? It is about earlier fights and invades.
@@gorom9153 swedes, Vikings, Goths and other Scandinavians had trade routes to Eastern Rome, Byzantium and the near east for thousands of years

This song and music video changed my taste in music forever. It was my very first appreciation for death metal. For that, I am forever grateful.
Best death metal
for me it was their blood shed video.
Death metal?

In mute, it looks like a shampoo commercial.

and on the scull pic they say - this is how it looks with other shampoos
Why would you mute a music video??
usa Amon amarth y notaras la diferencia ;) xD
Sexiest hair by far in the metal scene.
The opening riff was amazing
This song makes me cry, it's so sad.
Damn me too
Thats not very fuckin metal of you.
@@whikidfmj tf you mean? That’s metal as shit cuz that means she really felt the emotion and power within the song.

My favorite Amon Amarth song
Funny how everyone cries about the 240p. I watched the video back in 2006 and it's still as amazing. (:
Reading that this comment was from 7 years ago makes me feel even older.. :D
i just couldn't say which one was the best song on their concert, whole concert was amazing, but in that one, floor trembled under my feet.
I remember being 15 years younger listening to this and couldn’t handle it but loved it. Now I revisit and it’s top tier metal
This was the first song I seen on Headbangers Ball on MTV2 years ago, that got me hooked. The next day me and my buddy both , bought that album. Been jammin Amon Amarth ever since. \m/ best Nordic metal ever . Keep up that awesome work Johan Hegg

Were you deployed "Deep in the land of the Rus"?
headbanging masters!!!

FatGuys Piano No Slayer
(Dethklok).
At the last month of 2021 and still it´s one of my favorite songs ever.
This was my first Amon Amarth song and needless to say I'm still hooked 🤘🏻
I am hooked with Amon Amarth since my high school and I enjoy all of rock n roll and heavy metal, plus I am a Rus viking descendant
Wat mooi nummer van amon amarth groetjes van Gérard en kirsti uut klazienaveen 🤘🎅🤘🤘🎅🤘
This is the song I want at my funeral.
I miss old amon amarth, this is more brutal.
Same, it's so generic now
Back when 480p was "Crisp". LOL. 240p is hard to watch now because we're spoiled. RIP the old days, runes unto my memory.
I’m starting to remember, I appreciate you all, gods watch over you with light my friends
That fucking intro.... holy shit
The Kings of Viking metal . Dixi
And still sounds and looks epic !
This music I fuond sensational band AMON AMARTH!
When they are live and they play this song it is amazing I love it
2:00 gets me everytime
Awesome segment of the song 😁
I remember my senior year recorded this on a vhs tape and played it everyday before school.
1996 called and they want their MP3 bathtub audio back
So, here am I, finding this song which is almost as old as me, and after months of listening to these guys, I must say, they have always been a band born for greatness!🔥
One of my favorite Amon Amarth songs.
Metal Bade really needs to update the resolution of this video, 240p????!!!
The resolution was taken and put into the quality of the song.
***** That's alot of words for "You're right"
The ultimate Viking song! I pray Odin will have this playing when it is my time to join him in Valhalla.
13yrs?!? oh the nostalgia...I was in high school when I bought this album...
