I personally think of them as Power Metal. They aren't dark enough to be Death Metal. In my opinion. Yes it has aspects of Death Metal, but not enough in my opinion to be Death Metal. Power Metal can have screams. 🤷♂️ Just my thoughts.
@@SunRayz3r they are a melodic death metal band, not death metal, melodic death usually focuses more on the melody than the heaviness like most standard death metal bands do.
@@SunRayz3r They're definitely not power metal and you dint have to be "too dark" to be death metal. They're melodic death metal, which I prefer over death metal most of the time.
Ive found that even if I didint initially think a song was great, after hearing it a few more times I end up changing my mind... literally every song of theirs.
I love these guys! They have such a distinct sound and yes for the most part their songs are very driven all the way through. This is surprisingly one of the less melodic songs they have written. Their choruses are generally super catchy on vocals and guitar. You should check out Twilight of the Thundergod or Cry of the Blackbirds by them, they portray their normal formula for writing songs really well.
You can't really go wrong with anything off of the With Oden on Our Side or Twilight of the Thunder God albums. But one of my personal favorites is "the Avenger", live version
Check out The Victorious March by Amon Amarth. There's also other songs like Victory or Death, Cry of the Black Birds, Father of the Wolf, Death in Fire, Twilight of the Thunder God, Live for the Kill, First Kill, At Dawn's First Light, One Thousand Burning Arrows, Thousand Years of Oppression. Really they have a whole lot of songs worth checking out.
"Gimmicky" is one way to describe it, but they've been singing about Norse myth a long time before the MCU made it a "thing" ;) And yes, their music is largely relentless.
Not a bad song but they have much more better stuff like: Prediction Of Warfare, Twilight Of The Thunder God,Under The Northern Star and of course The Pursuit Of Vikings.
Any song from versus the world are just awesome, like "death in fire", "across the rainbow bridge", the entire album, or any song from with oden on our side. Also, like I highly suggest once sent from the golden hall album, specially "victorious march". I love that song. It's pure metal!
Great to see your journey on metal music going up north! Finland, Sweden and Norway have the worlds best metal bands (Well at least based on my experience and personal opinion). Try Dimmu Borgir from Norway - Amaranthe from Sweden - and Amorphis from Finland! And as a bonus: Children of Bodom from Finland!
Amon Amarth kicks your ass then kicks it again...Any song you do by them is good. But for some good old head banging you need to check out Pursuit Of Vikings.
You should really check out their song “Twilight Of The Thunder God” 🤩 I’m Swedish so I feel pretty close to them, we call this type of music “Viking-Metal” Great reaction!! 🤩
Love your channel brother. Just found it and binged all your videos. Keep up the good work 🤘 if you get a chance react to Bones Exposed by of Mice and Men. Good song and amazing melody
List of songs to try, just pick one cuz they're all amazing! Twilight of the Thunder God Deceiver of the Gods (my personal fav) The Way of Vikings Embrace the Endless Ocean Under the Northern Star The last two are also more melodic and emotional (but still super epic and heavyish) so a different feel from most of their stuff
Would you be able to do the remaining tracks on Trivium's new album that you haven't covered yet? Or have you heard them all already? Just curious, would love to see reactions for all 5 remaining tracks!
I heard them all. I listened to it the day it came out. I just wanted to hear it and didn't have the time to record. Most of my thoughts about it seem to be in the minority. I loved it, but I like the last album better. Out of the tracks I didn't do, bending the arc to fear was my favorite. To me it was the 2nd best song behind amongst the shadows and the stones. I liked all of the other singles that I reacted to better than the ones that I didn't.
@@Hoopsick I liked the ones we leave behind the best followed by amongst the shadows and the stones at number 2. Thanks for the response, glad to hear your thoughts on it my man! Keep up the good work bud
While yes it's they are a melodic swedish death metal band, it is much, much more accurate to think of them as a viking folk metal band. Their music is literally, thematically tales of the norse religion. Recommended songs..."Twilight of the Thunder God", "Doom over Dead Men", the supremely heavy "Without Fear", the Way of Vikings, "Runes to My Memory". Amon Amarth also has an awesome cover of System of a Downs, "Aerials"
Dude you HAVE to react to Gojira at Red Rocks - PRAY (extended version) LIVE from their official channel, AMAZING production and that fucking song will give you whiplash like never before !
Yeah I'll try to get to it sometime. I didn't watch it, but I downloaded the whole show the other week. Gojira blocks some these live shows for reactors, so it's tough. I actually have blocked video of where dragons dwell expiring today hopefully, so that should be up soon.
Did you see the Rage of Light cover of Twilight of the Thunder God? Melissa Bonny killed it in that song. If you don't know her, check out her latest with her band Ad Infinitum - See You In Hell ruclips.net/video/MLOAgZCZPfo/видео.html
well, alot of the vikings back then left "Sweden" when the christians came and fucked everything up. So i dont think theres that many ppl with viking-blood left here tbh :P
AA is a super underrated band... they as tight as my wife during live performances.. and they deserves more love and supports tho...Anyway here's my tip for new AA fans... if you like some raw heavy and pretty dark sounds, you should listen to their old stuff and for clean and 'bright' riff, new albums are the ones.. sorry for bad English..
You gotta react to any Bloodbath song, in my opinion the best death metal band ever, also coming out of Sweden. 3 recommendations are 1. Eaten 2. Outnumbering the day 3. Breeding death The bands old vocalist Mikael Åkerfeldt is no longer with the band so I don't recommend any of the new stuff.
Hey Bro, i just subd, you got to listen to under siege 💪🏻💪🏻 and if you want a great song about thor you got to listen to Crack the Sky. In my opinion its like Thors anthem man its such a good one👌🏻
As a swede, I rather have theese guys edjucate you on old norse religion then MCU. No thor did not travel in space to fight the hulk. ;) However "Twilight of the thundergod" is about ragnarök(no not the movie) :)
😯 oh by the way, 😉 I listening to Amon Amarth band too and one of their song/s is my favorite is WAR OF THE GODS.. glad to know to watch their music video and 👍good reaction by the way.. here love to watch your channel.. GOOD AFTERNOON and Godspeed 🙏✌️. regards from 🇵🇭 ph.

@@SunRayz3r Power metal is Dragonforce and Manowar. This is death metal
Deceiver of the Gods is my personal favorite. There are some great songs on their latest album too. Love me some Amon Amarth.
Also some War of the Gods! Nice choices my dude 😎
Ive found that even if I didint initially think a song was great, after hearing it a few more times I end up changing my mind... literally every song of theirs.
Twilight of the Thundergod is my favorite
The guy without the beard is just a guest vocalist. They normally just have the one singer.
No other than the legendary L G Petrov from Entombed!
Now you have embarked upon the Way of Vikings, you must aquire your own drinking horn!
😂
Hoopsick Reacts : Amon Amarth - raise your horns 😁🤘
The second singer is just a guest. The other singer is Lars Göran Petrov from Entombed.
I love these guys! They have such a distinct sound and yes for the most part their songs are very driven all the way through. This is surprisingly one of the less melodic songs they have written. Their choruses are generally super catchy on vocals and guitar. You should check out Twilight of the Thundergod or Cry of the Blackbirds by them, they portray their normal formula for writing songs really well.
Lars Göran Petrov, lead singer of the band Entombed, sings on this track along with Johan Hegg.
I'm a simple girl. I see Amon Amarth, I hit "like"
🤘🤘
🖤
Me too!!
Under The Nothern Star is my favorite 🥰
I'm always amazed by how clear Johan's vocals are for how deep it is... he reminds me of Nathan Explosion from Metapocalypse
If you don't already know, Nathan was based in part on Johan. Amon Amarth were Brendon's inspiration for Dethklok.
@@patrickshelley09 oh really...I always assumed the inspiration for Nathan was Corpsegrinder...cool
Welcome to the rabbit hole.
Unique sound they carry over all their albums and one of the best vocals going.
I'm sailing my knörr over here to recommend you The Pursuit of Vikings.
All of their songs are literally consistently good. Super nice to listen to in the background.
So many great albums by this band. Some personal favorites is War of the Gods, Twilight of the Thundergod, Shield Wall and Cry of the Black Birds
Saw them in for the first time in Sweden rock festival, kicked ass even better live great stage set up ..Thunder gods is one to check .
The guest vocalist is L G Petrov from Entombed
I think my all time fave Amon Amarth song is Back on Northern Shores.
"Here the berserks roar, they call to mighty thor!" Is awesome
This song is featuring Lars Goran Petrov from Entombed. Generally Amon Amarth only has the one singer.
You can't really go wrong with anything off of the With Oden on Our Side or Twilight of the Thunder God albums. But one of my personal favorites is "the Avenger", live version
Check out The Victorious March by Amon Amarth. There's also other songs like Victory or Death, Cry of the Black Birds, Father of the Wolf, Death in Fire, Twilight of the Thunder God, Live for the Kill, First Kill, At Dawn's First Light, One Thousand Burning Arrows, Thousand Years of Oppression. Really they have a whole lot of songs worth checking out.
Twilight Of The Thunder God, Destroyer Of The Universe and this track are my all time fav. AA tracks
The Berserker at Stamford Bridge is another great song from them.
Ive seen this guys since the beginning , "cry of the blackbirds " are my favorite . Check out the band Brothers of metal also swedish viking metal .
Amon Amarth- a beast am I which leads into doom over deadman. Also Amon Amarth-the way of Vikings is a great song with an awesome video
I really liked their latest album from last year, Beserker, so I vote for the first song of a video trilogy, Raven's Flight.
"Gimmicky" is one way to describe it, but they've been singing about Norse myth a long time before the MCU made it a "thing" ;) And yes, their music is largely relentless.
Not a bad song but they have much more better stuff like: Prediction Of Warfare, Twilight Of The Thunder God,Under The Northern Star and of course The Pursuit Of Vikings.
A fury divine hands down
This is still a banger and one of my favorites of amon amarth! Such a powerfull song live :)
I love the prononciation, assguard.
Listen to their song "Shield Wall". Love that one.
Ironside🤘
That's my favorite song by them
Fafner's dude
and fockin Valkyria!
Any song from versus the world are just awesome, like "death in fire", "across the rainbow bridge", the entire album, or any song from with oden on our side. Also, like I highly suggest once sent from the golden hall album, specially "victorious march". I love that song. It's pure metal!
You cant go wrong with Amon! If not the best, they are definitely one of the best with melodic death style. I love them, they are amazing live too
My favorite song from Amon Amarth!!
My personal favorite is " Where silent god's stand guard" just the makeup of the song alone is amazing
Might I suggest Twilight of the Thunder God, their most popular song and one of my favorites.
This is my fav by them 🔥 twilight of the Thunder god is sick too 🤘🏾
you should definitely listen to tattered banners and bloody flags
You have to check out the Band "Obscurity" with the Song "793"
Two singers in this song.
Pursuit of Vikings is a classic and a must.
Guardians of asgard is good but they have much better.
Awesome band
Great to see your journey on metal music going up north! Finland, Sweden and Norway have the worlds best metal bands (Well at least based on my experience and personal opinion). Try Dimmu Borgir from Norway - Amaranthe from Sweden - and Amorphis from Finland! And as a bonus: Children of Bodom from Finland!
With the song you immediately want to board the dragon ship and go on a raid.
Amon Amarth kicks your ass then kicks it again...Any song you do by them is good. But for some good old head banging you need to check out Pursuit Of Vikings.
Saw them at download brilliant
Runes to my memory
When I try to describe this to people, I say it's like Viking Dethklok. AKA the best thing ever.
Twighlight of the thundergod ... best track in rock n roll history 🤘
I really like The Pursuit of Vikings and Twilight of the Thunder God. The newest album The Berserker is great.
You should really check out their song “Twilight Of The Thunder God” 🤩 I’m Swedish so I feel pretty close to them, we call this type of music “Viking-Metal”
Great reaction!! 🤩
We are brothers from the North
Love your channel brother. Just found it and binged all your videos. Keep up the good work 🤘 if you get a chance react to Bones Exposed by of Mice and Men. Good song and amazing melody
List of songs to try, just pick one cuz they're all amazing!
Twilight of the Thunder God
Deceiver of the Gods (my personal fav)
The Way of Vikings
Embrace the Endless Ocean
Under the Northern Star
The last two are also more melodic and emotional (but still super epic and heavyish) so a different feel from most of their stuff
Awsome song! If you like it you should try Tattered banners and bloody flag!

As Loke Falls- Amon Amarth
Pursuit of vikings
Hey, cool video! Listen to Amon Amarth Raven's Flight, Very cool and powerfull!
They have to be atleast two..we are brothers
As I watch your reaction to Amon Amarth, I think your beard grew 3 inches at least. 😂
I hold Amon Amarth next after Arch Enemy. AE are gods ❤️
While yes it's they are a melodic swedish death metal band, it is much, much more accurate to think of them as a viking folk metal band. Their music is literally, thematically tales of the norse religion. Recommended songs..."Twilight of the Thunder God", "Doom over Dead Men", the supremely heavy "Without Fear", the Way of Vikings, "Runes to My Memory".

R.i.p Lars Göran Petrov 🤘🤘
The first and best band of viking metal was BATHORY. My opinion. EPIC songs. Huge impact on metal music.
Soilwork - Death Diviner
Hey, now..you are now in the viking family..and Welcome
Next song from them should be twilight of the thunder gods
these guys are like kataklysm to me. my first listen i fell in love with them. check out kataklysm sometime you would like it
Dude you HAVE to react to Gojira at Red Rocks - PRAY (extended version) LIVE from their official channel, AMAZING production and that fucking song will give you whiplash like never before !

Check out Amon Amarth: death in fire.
Deceiver of the gods next pls
Please react to Amon Amarth - Fate of Norns Live at Wacken open Air and Blind Guardian - Valhalla live

I insist, King ov deception or This is hell by Lorna shore haha
Amon Amarth feat Entombed...🤘🤘🤘
nobody ever cares about it but Fate of Norns is my favorite amon amarth song..
AA is a super underrated band... they as tight as my wife during live performances.. and they deserves more love and supports tho...Anyway here's my tip for new AA fans... if you like some raw heavy and pretty dark sounds, you should listen to their old stuff and for clean and 'bright' riff, new albums are the ones.. sorry for bad English..

Amon gets so much hate from the "Metal Elitists" out there calling them sellouts for having a mainsteam mass appeal lol but they are so good
As a swede, I rather have theese guys edjucate you on old norse religion then MCU. No thor did not travel in space to fight the hulk. ;)
However "Twilight of the thundergod" is about ragnarök(no not the movie) :)
