I have no intent on claiming this material for my own. I am simply giving my first impressions of the video and giving my constructive feedback in a review. If you would please take the time to watch my video, you will indeed see that I do review the material in depth.
Fun fact: Nanowar of Steel is "just" a hobby-project. And most of the band members are academics, I mean proper PhD scientists and univerity professors. :D
I wouldn't call them folk metal, since every song of them has a different style. Try Norvegian Reaggeton, Uranus, Today I found out she was a Gargoyle or Der Fluch des Käpt'n Iglo. Take you pick. Everyone is comedy gold
Uranus does show the astronomy knowledge there (apart from being the obvious joke) :)
@@Qwarzz I concur!
I concur
It's not entirely true as far as I know .
I think the drummer and Mr. Baffo are professional musicians while the others have brainy daytime jobs: Gattopanceri66 is a phisics university professor, Mohamed Abdul an elesctronic engineer and Potowotominimak a computer programmer
Don't be afraid to listen to their last single "La polenta taragnarok". It is in italian but there are subtitles :) It features Giorgio Mastrota, a famous TV presenter (mainly known in Italy for his "infomercials" of stainless steel cookware, that's why in the video he's known as Inox knight) and it's particularly "folky" and catchy. Another great song is "La maledizione di Capitan Findus" mainly about the legendary frozen codfish sticks, so heavily advertised in Italy in the 1990s that they became part of the popular culture of an entire generation. (there's a german spoken version "Der Fluch des Kapt’n Iglo" that is pretty insane too).
The most incredible pun was meant for Italian speaking people
Falegname in Italian means carpenter
At the end of the song the whole crowd goes nuts and sings "Falegn-amen"
Thanks for that one, I always thought Falegn was another piece of furniture and they just made use of how similar it sounds.
it goes one layer deeper than that. You forgot that it's in the style of American mega-church gospel songs too!
And the nicaragua and azerbaidjan bit is basically just because the vikings never went there, they don't know where they are.
Yeah, they didn't mean to offend anyone, just having fun with the fact that for the norsemen the world ended across the sea (atlantic ocean)
The movie Trading Places in Italy is considered a traditional xmas movie and is aired every Christmas eve on tv...but his italian title is different from the original,it's called "Una Poltrona Per Due" (An armchair for two) and this is another joke/easter egg made by Nanowar about furniture!!!
The same holds true for Greece as well, at least back in the day.
THAN YOU FOR THAT TIDBIT!!!
I am 49, came up with that movie. It's a personal favorite; I don't know how long it would've taken me to notice that if diligent fans hadn't pointed it out. I also never knew it was an Xmas staple in countries outside the U.S.!!! I'm glad to know it's still relevant!!! ♥️♥️♥️
@@J3nJ3nl0llip0p In Italy it's a real cult...imagine that the die hard fans the day after the broadcast start the countdown until the following year...
I think Norwegian Reggaeton is even more weird. Hope you know Norwegian black metal scene well enough to understand the jokes..-
I concur, next reaction
I concur. BTW, great reaction Eric :-)
I concur! I believe they sing in .. 4, or 5 different languages in Norwegian Reggaeton? I am Norwegian, so please get your ducks in a row before trying to understand those lyrics or I will lynch you in the comments! j/k :-P
I concur
I concur, bigtime!!!
I recommend 'Polenta Targnarock'! It is in italian but has subtitles. It fits more into the folk side of their style :D
Fun fact: They are banned from IKEA because they did an unsanctioned tour there. They just went to different stores and met with fans, playing this song and hiding their merch in the presentation rooms!
This music video features perhaps the most famous TV presenter-seller, Giorgio Mastrota, who was once a bit "scoffed at" in the older of the most famous songs, but no offense, it was just a joke. Respect for him, for "distance" to jokes and for the performance in the video.
@@PK--ITA Thank you for adding background info
@@merileopardisaksassa7030 Giorgio Mastrota, tro-ta, tro-ta? About pencils? Ahahah
I know that old song, i'm italian too :)
@@PK--ITA Precisely! It's such a bop and the video is fun too. I'm so grateful that my friend indulges me and translates so I can enjoy the lyrical genius as well. The lord of the rings football hymn is my other favorite in Italian from their old stuff!
@@merileopardisaksassa7030 I sincerely recommend one of their new songs "Polenta Taragnarock", let your friend translate the title for you, ahahahah, and that's where this Giorgio appears, in its main form.
Regards
Eric, YES to all the above!!! (Your observations, you unpacked ot right!)
🤣😂🤣😂
Maybe Norwegian Reggaeton or Uranus next? That second one's a parody on astronomy and 80's hair metal. Hilarious!
Uranus I concur!
Uranus I concur
I concur. It's an old joke but they still went there🤣
@@richardgoddard37 "An old joke still deserves a song!"
@@jeffk1482 I remembered the line. They took an old joke to infinity, and made it completely impossible for anyone else to do better.
Check out the song Valhalla by Blind Guardian , and then come back to this.
Blind Guardian is German power metal. You've seen their lead singer ,Hansi Kursch, in Ayreon's The Day the World Breaks Down.
I concur.
If you add the Bards Song / Valhalla
Especially if you want to see the band / crowd interaction pRt of your triumvirate of good music
I concur! And please do like Vladimier said and check out Blind Guardians performance of Bards Song / Valhalla at Wacken.
Its no longer on the channel, but in my memory he already reacted to that song.
I concur, Blind Guardian are great. Their concert in Hellfest is fantastic, Hansi sounds amazing as always.
i concur
Another great reaction. Funny you mentioned IKEA using this. When the song first came out they tried to do some live shows at IKEA's but were turned down so they arraigned meet ups at local IKEA's on social media and they would have treasure hunts for band merch they would hide in the stores. Systembolaget is the Swedish national liquor store. The section with the dark god creature is in Hebrew and is a riff on a Jewish prayer I believe but again with Norse mythology references (Ygdrassil).
Yes, the Hebrew bit is a riff on a Jewish prayer. Not Jewish myself, but had enough friends to know this one. The actual is, "Sh'ma Yisroel, Adonai elohainu, Adonai echod" which translates as "Hear, Israel, the Lord is our God, the Lord is One."
Yes, I've heard one of the band members talking about a treasure hunt in an IKEA store (don't remember where, a podcast with Tank The Tech maybe?). It got a bit rowdy at one point and the Security of the store showed up and asked if they had a Permit for the event - No, of course they didn't have a Permit.
So, here's a fun bit of deep lore. Angus McFife, the singer of Gloryhammer featured here as Odin, it is "official canon" that when he took his own life by descending into the raging volcanic fires of Schiehallion rather than giving into the power of Evil after his battle with Zargothrax, after his death Angus McFife XIII became Odin, the Master of IKEA. Have fun with that.
Oh, one more bit of trivia, after releasing this song the band went on to do some random shenanigans around random IKEA locations without any official collaboration from IKEA, they weren't generally appreciated . I'll leave this vague on the details because I don't remember much of them but I think one of the band members did tell some bits about their hijinks in an interview somewhere
@@Nabekukka yeah, they told that story in their interview with Tank the Tech 👍
if you plan to listen more of them, just a note... find videos with lyrics. They tend to use 2-3 languages in their lyrics.
I would like to suggest Uranus.
It has a VERY well done video, and is super fun 🤟
I concur!
What's fun about Nanowar, is that their songs are generally very intelligently put together. Pretty much every line is a reference to something, and often time you can even interpret aspects of the song in multiple ways. So every time you re-listen these songs, something new will click and you'll get something new from it.
It's good to see someone actually having fun and enjoying these Videos/Songs =D
Most People would suggest "And then I noticed that she was a Gargoyle" or "Norwegian Reggaeton" next.
But let me sparkle two older Songs in the Mix which might grab your attention:
"Vegan Velociraptor" and "Barbie: MILF Princess of the Twilight" but no matter what Song you'll choose next of them, it's going to be comedy gold!
I heard a rumor that they toured Ikeas (without permission) and performed this song in the parking lot. They are legends! The guy that played Odin was in a band called Gloryhammer. I think you'd really like their music.
You could also add Gloryhammer to the handy dandy notebook
So much to unpack in this video. It's enough to break a man. Love it.
An Italian band, using Norse mythology to praise a Swedish God, also using Hebrew before Odin actually showed up; after that, using Latin, after which, Odin continued singing. Then he slung The hammer of Thor over his shoulder and drifted off into the heavens. It's glorious.
I can't find the source, but: there was an IKEA where the song was played on loop. the manager didn't like that at all and they actually banned NoS from IKEA. So much for free marketing.
Their music videos where the lyrics are in Italian have, at least the most recent ones, English subtitles added. Just click on the subtitles button under the video. :D
I drive between Austin and Bastrop a few times a week and ALWAYS stop at Buccees!!!!!!!♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🤘✌️🖖☕☕☕☕☕☕
WOW! You're the FIRTH reactionist [I watched] mentioning the Itali/Noors/Sweesisch ironi...
The Eddie Murphy/Dan Ackroyd film, "Trading Places" is playing in the background. Just as it is traditional to many people in the US to watch "Christmas Story" or "It's a Wonderful Life" during the Holidays, "Trading Places" is traditionally a film broadcast yearly on Italian TV during the Christmas Holiday. And Italian's choice for Christmas dinner? They're having the more customary lasagna as opposed to the ham or turkey dinner served in the US.
During the eve is tradition to have fish then it's likely a seafood lasagna.
In Spain the mandatory tradicional Christmas movie is Ben-Hur 😂
And Quo Vadis
@@nekane6168 That makes sense. Those two films focusing on religious faith.
@@Green-Lyon And the roman empire.
In Spain classic Roman's films are at the same level as westerns.
We love roman's classic films.
@@nekane6168 I wasn't aware of that, cool! Thanks for sharing that bit of culture.
The only Christmas song you need.
Actually they got banned from an IKEA store for doing an improvised mini concert of this there (IIRC).
As far as I know it was a treasure hunt with their fans
Or at least that's what comes out of this video
ruclips.net/video/CQrjbL2Wk9I/видео.html
IKEA will never used this song because of the reference to horse meatballs. That was a bit of a scandal that horsemeat was found in their meatballs. Other than that it would have been great for them. 😊🤘
BTW Systembolaget is the state alcohol provider, it's very controlled and extremely expensive.
There's plenty more including a great one about Polenta.
Great band and their videos are always fun (even when their instruments are garden tools with loose twine for strings).
Just in case you didn't know and nobody's told you yet, "Systembolaget" is the Swedish government-run liquor store. He's saying he has no hope and no booze!
The craziest italian metal band 🤘😅🇮🇹 I suggest u Disco Metal, sure you'll love it
Check out "Norwegian Reggaeton" or "Barbie MILF princes of the twilight" from them. You will laugh the whole video ;)
The next one has to be Norwegian Reggaeton!
The joke, I think, with Nicaragua etc is also simply a statement of fact. The Vikings literally didn’t know where they were.
i think they maybe originally had the plan to make a mess, but accidentally the song became brilliant ^^
however good to have fun stuff in metal :)
next maybe 'Nanowar of Steel - And Then I Noticed That She Was a Gargoyle'
I concur
+1
Loved your reaction to this. You had the exact same reaction as I did the first time I heard “Odin” singing for the first time. Not something exclusive to this reaction, but I love the unique perspective you bring to your reactions with your background as a DJ. As for Nanowar of Steel, every song they do is comedic gold so you can’t go wrong with whatever you pick to react to next.
A band you might want to add to your notebook to check out at some point is the band “Liliac”. They’re a younger band of 5 siblings who are really talented, especially the lead singer, and have a mix of covers and originals on RUclips.
a christmas song that is full of easter eggs
The thumbnail made me think... This is going to hit well for Eric. And it did.
I'm happy!
Much Love to you and Ukraine
🌻🌻🌻💙💛💙
I wouldn’t mind a reaction to Sonata Arctica. ”Full moon” or ”Victorias secret” are good places to start
I concur, lets have some love for Sonata Arctica
Tremendously fun. A more serious Norse themed metal band check out Brothers Of Metal, which ironically has a female lead singer half of the time.
Praise Knopparp!
You need to do "Uranus". Trust me.
Oh IKEA...when NoS released this song, they didnt do a tour per sé. They hosted meetups at several IKEA stores until IKEA said "Stop."
Great band. Always bringa a smile and a good belly laugh.
As for the Italian Folk metal album, the videos are all subtitled, so is easy to follow along.
Really funny! Thanks Eric. 🤘
Next Nano reaction :Uranus
Nice reaction. Thanks 👍
And this is a christmas song, it totally is...
"Stuffy white people at a dinner table".... you could say the trope goes Round and Round like some kind of rodent 😉
Glorious!! 😉🤟
New album by NanowaR of Steel, please check Pasadena 1994 with SabatoN
Brave of you to drink during a Nanowar of Steel video LOL
Best Ikea Ad Ever!
They tried to meet with fans in actual IKEA stores and got kicked out.
Read the description. They're using the IKEA catalog as a sacred text. 🤣 I love this video; it's just so funny. Great holiday song.
Oh yes. I should mention that a lot of Catholic saints are actually pagan gods who were co-opted by Christians as a way to get pagans to convert. There's a theory that Saint Nicholas was based on Odin, which is why Odin was wearing a Santa hat.
This thing of being incredibly antithetic, it could be the lyrics or the genres they mixing together, is the real one thing that glues their discography other than the parodistic side
Learn about the universe with nanowar- Uranus
We're all Ikeans now, man. Systembolaget is a state affiliated chain of Swedish liquor stores, BTW. ••• Thanks! PEACE!!!
Glod you took the time to enjoy the national anthem of IKEA! :-)
As for IKEA:
They once did a band get together in an IKEA, but they got kicked out after a while.
So I don't think IKEA's marketing department does much with this song.
Good idea for an ikea ad, just take the song as it is, without forgetting to remove the "rape" and "chopping of heads" part and its perfect. :)
NoS are an italian metal parody band, right.
But never did anything to call them folk metal...
ODIN is played by Thomas Winkler (Ex-GLORYHAMMER) - he's not a member of NoS.
You saw him collaborating in 'Warriors of the World' by FEUERESCHWANZ.
My next suggestion - with also english lyrics - would be URANUS.
they're not really a folk metal band,they're more a parody band,in fact the name NANOWAR is a mocking to the US band MANOWAR.
In early 2021, they announced a new album Italian Folk Metal, which was released on July 2, 2021. As the name suggests, the album combines folk music with metal music. (Wiki)
Folk is one of the many many styles they have combined with metal. Overall they are not really a folk band tough :)
"And what does Nicaragua have to do with anything?" They don't know where they are, so they can't sing about them! :P
Next up... - and then I noticed she was a gargoyle...
They did some "eat and greet" with fans in some IKEA stores across europe with fans during the tour...including a treasure hunt in the store...obviously without the company permission 😂
They're not a folk metal band,cause they made songs of all metal genres from death to melodic
Not only are they bot using it ...they actively chased the band out... to be fair if was sort of a flash mob ....but......
No Leonard Cohen; think "Hallelujah Chorus," not "Hallelujah."
Good one... but still "Uranus" is my favourite LOL
folk metal?... dude.. this is "funny metal".. they always make parodies.. i recommend you listen to "Uranus"....
Silly God bless
Slightly out of season but no matter.
Minecraft ban?!? Time to report you for violating the Geneva Conventions! 😜
Italian metal band, singing christian ghospel style prayes to a nordic god praysinig sweedish furniture, but you missed the point of calling Odin in Heber... I rest my case
