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
This is the band that got me into growled vocals. I was like "Wait, I know what he's saying!" It's an acquired taste, and Amon Amarth made me acquire it!
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.
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.
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.
Fate of the norns really is right in the feels. Never cried to a song till I heard that one. Got a tear in my eye just from thinking about that song, god dammit.
Better go with Brothers of Metal or Blood of my Enemies (Sons of Odin or Return of the Warlord are also worthy of mention, but in reality , Manowar has so damn many super dope tracks thats its pretty much impossible to pick just one ,, But like in Blood of my Enemies chorus, i want this on my tombstone Strong winds, magic mist "To Asgard the Valkyries fly High overhead, they carry the dead Where the blood of my enemy lies "
SortenRavn hail and kill will be played in my funeral home along with die for metal. Silent scream slayer Cemetery gates pantera I'm broken And many more head banging uplifting bands
Hey man , first off I want to say as a metal head , thank you for taking time out of your day to do these reviews. Your reactions are basically the same when I hear these songs for the first time as well. Thank you for truly enjoying metal with an open mind and I'm really stoked for you when you keep finding gems through the band's you listen to . Keep up the great reviews and you got me to sub
Fun fact. They got Alexhi, the lead singer and guitarist from children of bodom, to play the guitar solo for this song. It took them a good while to nail it live.
StygianTraveler141 yep, just a little bit sleepy at 2 am in Murmansk and missed some fucking letters on phone's keyboard)) sorry for my "Russian English")
Amon Amarth is amazing. I met them a few years ago at Mayhem Fest and they signed a photo for me. They were nothing like they seem to be in their videos or pictures. They were the nicest guys and super happy to be there. I've been a fan ever since.
War Of The Gods is so similar to TOTTG, they both have the same sort of build at the intro and leap into the main riff with ballsy glee. But War Of The Gods gets my vote too. Fucking intense and awesome 🤘
My introduction to amon amarth was probably the strangest of them all. I was walking through Walmart's music selection when I was a senior in high school (2012). 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.
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 would say Thousand Years of Oppression, but the lyrics might be lost of those who don't know much of Norse myth and history or have interest in it...
Lol I can see it now. *Classroom attendance* Teacher: "Jimmy?" "Here" "Sally?" "Here" "Jessica?" "Here" "Twilight..... of the Thunder God...?" "IT'S YA BOIIII TWILIGHT OF THE THUNDER GOD!!!"
Just commented the same thing! TOTALLY. This became my favorite metal song and I am liking very similar artists that you enjoy. Like Killswitch Engage, Amon Amarth etc. I'd really like to listen to While We Sleep for the first time again. Please give it a try and let us witness you getting blown away.
goosebumps the whole time! when u see a band live and they're amazing it makes the recorded music even more enjoyable. u get the energy of the band and remembering the intensity of the crowd....just epic. nothing like it
Only in some genres. Swedes are rocking the viking themed metal tho for sure.. while we (Norwegians) rock the black metal scene. But the heavyweights of metal? Nah, there too much awesome metal out there man..
Hippie Grinder669, I'm sorry.. but did you say ALL metal is in English? If that's what you really said... I'll just say this: you sir, are not very enlightened.
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/) Also I think you should probably go see a therapist or smoke some weed as you seem to be extremely angry simply from reading someone's youtube comment.

Atilla Durkaya I found out my history teacher was a Amon Amarth fan pretty recently. He sang some lyrics from Raise Your Horns from the Jomsviking album while he was working, and then I sang the next ones. He replied with something along the lines of “I’m so glad that you listen to that album”
@@KyleDaSloth Yes, but viking metal is a musical style related to black metal. Amon Amarth does not play this genre, just beacuse you sing about viking themes doesn't make you a viking metal band, check out bathories later albums, or Windir if you want to listen to the genre viking metal. Viking themed metal, and viking metal are two seperate things.
i return to this video just to watch that brain freeze due to overwhelming awesomeness and him suddenly realizing mid-solo that he forgot how to react on his own reaction video. You gotta see the Destroyer of The Universe
It's nice to see people go out of their way to listen to music they normally wouldn't. Too many people get stuck on one genre & take a s#$t on anything that isn't their style. Great job!
AMON AMARTH'S LIVE SHOW IS BADASS TOO AND THE LEAD SINGER IS PART OF THE GRIMFROST BRAND.. Anything Viking Go To That Store... Guardians of Asgaard, the Pursuit of Vikings Are Other Staple Songs I Love Every Album These Guys Put Out
I saw these guys live for the first time in 2019 and i`m still deaf, still have singed hair and am still in complete awe at just how good they were live!
What's up man. I respect the open mindedness man. I've been a metal head my entire life. Thanks for giving viking metal a shot. I think you should listen to Once Human- eye of chaos. They're insane!
Amon amarath is viking THEMED metal, viking metal is a genere, Amon Amorth plays melodic death metal. If you want viking metal try some of bathory's laters stuff as it created the genre or Windir maybe.
I was about to say nordic, but i suppose finntroll is from the swedish minority in finland so i guess it is scandinavian. It's kind of weird to know exactly :P
@@moldveien1515 Swedish minority in finland? If they´re in Finland they´re finish minority. If you mean the Same people its lots of different tribes streching from the Skandinavian countrys all the way to Russia.
Amon Amarth \m/ one of the greatest bands Ever! Probably Descendents of Odin himself . haha should take a listen to ' At Dawn's First Light' pretty sure you'll enjoy that \m/
Septicflesh - Anubis Greek death metal band that often refers to the Greek mythology etc. It's not as popular as Amon Amarth but they are great. Give it a try!
First time hearing this band myself and can’t say I didn’t like it? Cause this was awesome! Love the style awesome take on Viking/metal it is brilliant! Reminds me of a few bands I’ve listened to but they have a pure sense of style, awesome band! Actually going to dive more into this! Love the lyrics too, super dope, the video was awesome too! All round pretty good band, great reaction as always my man! Loving the content keep grinding and stay striving bro! My suggestion for a band I think you’d like too if you interested in listening in your spare time or for a video! Either is awesome here or is! Band: Veil of Maya Song: Aeris
This is the first Opeth song I would recommend as well, as I think its a PERFECT introductory song to experience the brilliant mix of clean and growling vocals. However, I think the studio version would be better to listen to first. Opeth is fucking amazing live, though.
Let's face it. Amon Amarth are just fucking Beast. His reaction was exactly like mine. And every new song and album I have the same reaction dude. like a rediscovery
So I just discovered your channel, and want to give you HUGE ups, im a musician and love every form of music. Its really cool to see people get stoked on new music. 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.
This is the first video I've seen of your's, and I have to say I like your reaction to it (meaning that as a non-metal-er you're STILL keeping an open mind, and I RESPECT THE HELL out of that). I'd personally love to see your reaction to their video of the song "Pursuit of Vikings", assuming you haven't already done that. Regardless, GREAT reaction video dude
Digging the channel man, you're an open minded dude which is always worthy of a sub. You should react to Involuntary Doppelganger by Archspire. It will blow your mind balls.
Hi Alex hope you're having a dope ass day ! ;) seriously dude gotta see more of them. I mean, they are masters in the're own thing. The stories that they are telling in each song are fking dope, read the lyrics if you can't hear properly what he is saying. And songs structures are really sick too. Best album I could suggest you from those guys is :With Oden On Our Side Have a nice quarantine bruh!! peace!
More Amon Amarth? No problem! Guardians of Asgard, Runes to my Memory, Cry of the Blackbirds, Father of the Wolf (especially do this one, arguably their best music video), At Dawns First Light, Way of Vikings, Runes to My Memory.... yeah, any (or all) of these songs would be AWESOME. Cheers man!
WildChildElsner What about Destroyer of the universe or Where is your god?... hmm... Pursuit of vikings, a classic one ;) oh, Thousand years of oppresion. That. Would. Be. Fucking. Awesome.
that´s what it is, bro......pure viking metal from sweden \m/ it´s nice to see your face at the beginning of the song :D it slowly began to shake, there comes a grin on your face and as the drums gave it´s best a little kind of headbanging started automatically THAT´S AMAZING!!!!! It seems there is a little metalhead inside of you too :D Nice job!!! ----Greetings from the metal side of life
there are so many treasures from Amon Amarth to discover. Pursuit of the vikings, death in fire, cry of the black birds, war of the gods, for victory or death, father of the wolf, raise your horns, the hero, live for the kill, valhall awaits me, victorious march, guardians of Asgaard.
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) :)
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.
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"
Oh my god, YES! I'm not sure if he's ready for that, though. Sometimes it's best to just ease people in to that kind of thing. I'd still love to see the shock and awe in his face. Fuck it. Hey Alex... DO IT!!!!

If Marvel had balls, they should have put this song as Thor's Theme
Sven Potelle: Fuckin' Rights!!
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
If
Most true comment i've ever seen.
"gives me so much energy" Imagine what it's like hearing that song live! That's why metal shows are INSANE
I heard it live. It was awesome
Damn now i wanna hear it live
This song was the most intense mosh pit over ever been in. If you can go see Amon Amarth do it!
@TheMetalWeasel well now thats a new thing i added onto my bucket list
As someone who has heard it live, I can tell you it is wild.
This is the band that got me into growled vocals. I was like "Wait, I know what he's saying!" It's an acquired taste, and Amon Amarth made me acquire it!
and then you can suddenly hear and understand the lyrics of cannibal corpse and others, took the same path bro :D
quick note, the bands name "Amon Amarth" is the Sindarin name for Mount Doom (Lord of the rings for the uneducated)
Facts!!
Awesome!
yeah . we fans knew it.
Whenever this song comes on, you don't need doors - you just walk through walls
Like the fucking koolaid man 😂
Love your mantle pfp, love agalloch
This comment section made me cry with laughter 🤣🤣
Hell Yeah!!
They literally have Viking battles on stage at their shows. Enough said.
Ryan Kieth, they're not a viking metal band tho. Death metal with Norse inspired lyrics.. big difference actually ;)
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.
onelove101unity yeah, hence the term "melodic death metal"
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?
All I said is that they have Vikings battling on stage. I don't know how this debate got started.
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.
Jörmundgandr is also one of the son of loki, with the wolf fenrir and hel.
Zionism is a snake that takes the lands of the world one by one and ends back in Jerusalem where it swallows it's own tail
You forgot Surtur rising to burn Midgard from the South.
@@chessbooker_ plenty of books about the Norse Mythology
@@thanosdarkseid8695 calm it dude, no one likes exremists.
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.

I love amon amarth and similar bands too but that isn't most metal at all. What you just described is the secluded sub-genre, "punk"
Runes to my memory hits the most, imo.
creamnwheat well fucking said 🤘🏼
@@DrMr. yes, i too get teary listening to fate of norns.
Amon Amarth is easily one of the most epic bands there is! My request is Amon Amarth - Deceiver Of The Gods
Mr.Beardman Deceiver of the gods is the song that's playing at my funeral when they take my casket and slowly put it into the ground
Better go with Brothers of Metal or Blood of my Enemies (Sons of Odin or Return of the Warlord are also worthy of mention, but in reality , Manowar has so damn many super dope tracks thats its pretty much impossible to pick just one ,, But like in Blood of my Enemies chorus, i want this on my tombstone Strong winds, magic mist

You know a song is epic when the guy can't even pause it.
cry of the black birds
Amon Amarth - Raise Your Horns!!
One of the coolest guitar riffs by them. Keep up the good work Bro!

well i mean Amon Amarth is basically singing about their culture/history which is the Norse mythology......hands down the COOLEST MYTHOLOGY
Cordero .... I prefer my culture with eluiveitie ( galloic celtic metal)
Drinking game: take a shot everytime Alex says ''dope''

See them on stage with an audience that goes crazy over their musik and you see them smile from ear to ear ... they just enjoy the heck out of that.
War of the Gods is awesome as well! You'll grow an bearded beard listening to more Amon Amarth haha :D
PlexyPanda i love that song its so underrated
War Of The Gods is so similar to TOTTG, they both have the same sort of build at the intro and leap into the main riff with ballsy glee. But War Of The Gods gets my vote too. Fucking intense and awesome 🤘
War of the Gods is fun to play. Twilight of the Thunder God is hard to play lol.
War of the Gods is legit the greatest melodic metal song of all time. Don't even try to argue with me about it.
Tattered Banners and Bloody Flags is my personal favorite.
My introduction to amon amarth was probably the strangest of them all. I was walking through Walmart's music selection when I was a senior in high school (2012).

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

Atilla Durkaya I found out my history teacher was a Amon Amarth fan pretty recently. He sang some lyrics from Raise Your Horns from the Jomsviking album while he was working, and then I sang the next ones. He replied with something along the lines of “I’m so glad that you listen to that album”
Metal fan teachers? How could you possibly go wrong? You can't, in my book.
ELUVEITE- Inis Mona, such a Great song
oh yes!
The live version with fintroll is epic
Yeah dive in to some good old Swiss Metal :D
I found The call of the mountains to be the best to me, but the whole Origins album is great! Inis mona is very uplifting and simple, great joy!
Any song from Slania would do
my favorite Viking/death metal band
Death metal, amon amarth are not viking metal in any form except for the theme.
Melodic Death Metal, not Death Metal.
@@moldveien1515 the theme accounts for 40% of the band's identity.
@@KyleDaSloth Yes, but viking metal is a musical style related to black metal. Amon Amarth does not play this genre, just beacuse you sing about viking themes doesn't make you a viking metal band, check out bathories later albums, or Windir if you want to listen to the genre viking metal. Viking themed metal, and viking metal are two seperate things.
@@moldveien1515 I'm not disagreeing with you. Johan said in interviews that they're not technically Viking metal.
i return to this video just to watch that brain freeze due to overwhelming awesomeness and him suddenly realizing mid-solo that he forgot how to react on his own reaction video. You gotta see the Destroyer of The Universe
It's nice to see people go out of their way to listen to music they normally wouldn't. Too many people get stuck on one genre & take a s#$t on anything that isn't their style. Great job!
Pursuit of the Viking
I love that song
Yesss!!!!!
Oen of the best
At dawns first light
Fate of the Norns
Death In Fire - Amon Amarth
Yes! Also The Hero
Yesss!!!!
Amon Amarth - Guardians of Asgaard :)
ZyXxOmAn hell yeah
You should react to As I Lay Dying either their songs "A Greater Foundation" "Through Struggle" or "Confined "
or "The Sound of Truth"
This is the song that literally started my metal crusade back in 2008 I will never forget how I got chills listening to it. Awesome man!
In Flames - Pinball Map
AMON AMARTH'S LIVE SHOW IS BADASS TOO AND THE LEAD SINGER IS PART OF THE GRIMFROST BRAND.. Anything Viking Go To That Store...
Guardians of Asgaard, the Pursuit of Vikings Are Other Staple Songs I Love Every Album These Guys Put Out
Vinnechi V-rOcKs PiT Petaccio destroyer of the universe as well
Carlous Rex by Sabaton
AnimetalViking I was gonna put down Sparta
agree with carolus rex
Night Witches
Pleassse
SEE CAROLOUS RISE
I saw these guys live for the first time in 2019 and i`m still deaf, still have singed hair and am still in complete awe at just how good they were live!
What's up man. I respect the open mindedness man. I've been a metal head my entire life. Thanks for giving viking metal a shot. I think you should listen to Once Human- eye of chaos. They're insane!
Amon amarath is viking THEMED metal, viking metal is a genere, Amon Amorth plays melodic death metal. If you want viking metal try some of bathory's laters stuff as it created the genre or Windir maybe.
halvor ketil Windir is fucking legit af, the vocals may turn the guy away though.
True, I love my country so much good metal music to check out from Norway
Swedish melodeath 🤟🤟🤟
Tyr, old Thyrfing.. and others I can't remember right away. Quite a few that's more underground.. but Windir isn't viking metal.. not even close :P
gonna have to disagree there viking metal is not a genere singing about viking stuff does not change the genere
Amon Amarth - Guardians of Asgaard !
This song is easily one of the greatest songs in Metal history. FUCKING POWERFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nightwish - Ghost Love Score! :D
I'd pay to see how he reacts to this one.
If NIghtwish either Planet Hell or Dark Chest of Wonders
Gotta be the Floor live version.
Come on if you go for Nightwish take the version with the Singer the song was written for and all the mentioned above so far are Tarjas songs.
Nah, to be honest I always thought that song is one of their weakest.
Finntroll - Trollhammaren ... Metal mixed with scandinavian folk music.
I was about to say nordic, but i suppose finntroll is from the swedish minority in finland so i guess it is scandinavian. It's kind of weird to know exactly :P
@@moldveien1515 Swedish minority in finland? If they´re in Finland they´re finish minority. If you mean the Same people its lots of different tribes streching from the Skandinavian countrys all the way to Russia.
Korpiklaani - Rauta....youll definetely like folk metal :D
Amon Amarth \m/ one of the greatest bands Ever! Probably Descendents of Odin himself . haha should take a listen to ' At Dawn's First Light' pretty sure you'll enjoy that \m/
Still patiently waiting for Bleed by Meshuggah.
Atom Ogre Boatswain YES
Prepare for metal explosion!!! Bleed....instant spine chills
YES
and CUMBUSTION xD
Relax man, not there yet
Septicflesh - Anubis
Greek death metal band that often refers to the Greek mythology etc. It's not as popular as Amon Amarth but they are great.
Give it a try!
Sabaton - Primo Victoria. They do music about historical events, and they'd be a good introduction to Power Metal.
ChainGuN2 Carolus Rex (Swedish version) is also a great choice
Pursuit of vikings, cry of the black birds (amon amarth)
*Devin Townsend* - Deadhead (Live at Royal Albert Hall) and Kingdom (live at EMGtv). Thank me later :D
March of the Poozers!
Kingdom EMG TV, but also anything else from Hevy Devy
You gotta do this Alex :)
Meshuggah- Bleed or Trivium- In Waves (live)
Someone Fun Definitely Bleed but not the music video
First time hearing this band myself and can’t say I didn’t like it? Cause this was awesome! Love the style awesome take on Viking/metal it is brilliant! Reminds me of a few bands I’ve listened to but they have a pure sense of style, awesome band! Actually going to dive more into this! Love the lyrics too, super dope, the video was awesome too! All round pretty good band, great reaction as always my man! Loving the content keep grinding and stay striving bro!
My suggestion for a band I think you’d like too if you interested in listening in your spare time or for a video! Either is awesome here or is!
Band: Veil of Maya
Song: Aeris
Amon Amarth..!! YES FINALLY!!! Last Stand of Friej is one of my favorites..!! Recommended reaction please!!
Opeth - Harlequin Forest ( live roundhouse tapes)
This is the first Opeth song I would recommend as well, as I think its a PERFECT introductory song to experience the brilliant mix of clean and growling vocals. However, I think the studio version would be better to listen to first. Opeth is fucking amazing live, though.
Opeth in general
They didn't play it at roundhouse.
TheAskald yeah he probably meant the royal Albert hall version
Dopest dope I've ever doped 😎
Tyler Day Dopity dope dope dope
Dope🔥
thats dope
Tyler Day the pope smoked dope on a goat
Amon Amarth - As Loke Falls
Definitely one of their best songs.
In fact most songs for Deceiver of the Gods.
Scandinavian melodic death metal is the greatest sub-genre of metal. Such a powerful, full sound.
Polaris: Lucid
Crystal Lake: Apollo
You're going to love them!!!!!!!
Bro, did that solo melt your brain?! Lol! Also, "Tattered Banners and Bloody Flags" is a beast of a song, off the same album as this!
SpacePope love that song!!!
fun fact: the solo is written by Roope Latvala from children of bodom
Aboutmonkey is it really? I thought it was Alexi who wrote/played it
xILazyyx, wikipedia says it's roope
Enjoying the reactions. For your next Amon Amarth song you should try Cry of the Blackbirds or Pursuit of Vikings
Yeah Yeah Yeahs Cry of the Blackbirds would blow his mind out of this dimension
Hell yeah man its an epic ride. I forgot 'Runes to my memory' when suggesting the songs. I think he would love that one as well.
Let's face it. Amon Amarth are just fucking Beast. His reaction was exactly like mine. And every new song and album I have the same reaction dude. like a rediscovery
Pursuit of the vikings will always be my favorite AA song.
Vince Magat second best for me.First is Death in Fire
So I just discovered your channel, and want to give you HUGE ups, im a musician and love every form of music. Its really cool to see people get stoked on new music. 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.
Ensiferum - victory songs !!! Best viking metal !!! Or ensiferum - twilight tavern
Sabaton - Uprising
Do their song Deciever of the Gods next time
- Kristoffer - Ohjeah😍Or Persuit of Vikings and Cry of the Black Birds
+Raphael Kettenberger Pursuit*
StygianTraveler141 Ohh😅
Yep. Fix it.
This is the first video I've seen of your's, and I have to say I like your reaction to it (meaning that as a non-metal-er you're STILL keeping an open mind, and I RESPECT THE HELL out of that).
I'd personally love to see your reaction to their video of the song "Pursuit of Vikings", assuming you haven't already done that.
Regardless, GREAT reaction video dude
Digging the channel man, you're an open minded dude which is always worthy of a sub. You should react to Involuntary Doppelganger by Archspire. It will blow your mind balls.
The Aussie Metalhead 😂😂😂
Alex Hefner do it bro! 😆
Archspire is on the far end of understandable metal for newer metalheads lol. I love them, but it's an ambitious listen.
This. Henker - Slave of My Art is also a good one.
Kyle Ledermann you are very right there man! But sometimes you've gotta see how deep the pool can get 😜
You should also listen to Amon Amarth's songs "Guardians Of Asgaard", "The Last Stand Of Frej" and "Gods Of War Arise"
Oh, they have a lot of songs about myths. Listen to "Deciever Of The Gods". This song is about Loki, brother of Thor. And its badass too.
Hi Alex hope you're having a dope ass day ! ;) seriously dude gotta see more of them. I mean, they are masters in the're own thing. The stories that they are telling in each song are fking dope, read the lyrics if you can't hear properly what he is saying. And songs structures are really sick too. Best album I could suggest you from those guys is :With Oden On Our Side
Have a nice quarantine bruh!! peace!
Another viking metal that would be interesting to see a reaction on is: Tyr~ Hold the Heathen Hammer High
More Amon Amarth? No problem! Guardians of Asgard, Runes to my Memory, Cry of the Blackbirds, Father of the Wolf (especially do this one, arguably their best music video), At Dawns First Light, Way of Vikings, Runes to My Memory.... yeah, any (or all) of these songs would be AWESOME. Cheers man!
Embrace of the Endless Ocean
+xTHIRDHORSEMANx is correct.
Fate of Norns?
WildChildElsner What about Destroyer of the universe or Where is your god?... hmm... Pursuit of vikings, a classic one ;) oh, Thousand years of oppresion. That. Would. Be. Fucking. Awesome.
I'm not one of them. How ever, Fate of Norns is probably one of the most 'accessible' of anything post 2000...
Rings of Saturn!
Yes, yes do this band.
Like "inadequate" or "The Macrovosm"
that´s what it is, bro......pure viking metal from sweden \m/ it´s nice to see your face at the beginning of the song :D
it slowly began to shake, there comes a grin on your face and as the drums gave it´s best a little kind of headbanging started automatically
THAT´S AMAZING!!!!! It seems there is a little metalhead inside of you too :D Nice job!!! ----Greetings from the metal side of life
Now you have grown a beard boy...
DUUUUUDE YEEEES, but do Deceiver of the Gods or First Kill by them!
Yes!!
there are so many treasures from Amon Amarth to discover. Pursuit of the vikings, death in fire, cry of the black birds, war of the gods, for victory or death, father of the wolf, raise your horns, the hero, live for the kill, valhall awaits me, victorious march, guardians of Asgaard.
First Kill, fuck yes
Ja i go with father of the wolf
React to Amon amarth- Asator plllls
Sabaton is a great powermetal band. they sing about historical battles
I play Amon Armarth while playing Elder Scrolls.
Its fucking perfect
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)
:)
Amon Amarth has had the greatest of honors with this song. it was covered by sabaton
Tig TV pls i love sabaton but amon amarth are above them as a force of music
It's funny how no one ever says "Christian mythology" but they say "_____ Mythology" everything else
Because Christians aren't a nationality
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.
@@terrentorgeson4515 *cough* The Eddas *cough*
@@psychee1 In a way, yes, but Snorri Sturluson was also a Christian, so some accuracy of the Eddas can be somewhat questionable.
@@terrentorgeson4515 Yeah, just thought it was worth a mention. Overall I agree with you though.
I saw amon amarth live years ago and they played this exact song. The energy that filled the room as soon as this song started was insane.
Furthermore, you should listen to the sabaton cover of this song. Also incredible but completely different.
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"
Bernler75 fuck yes great album
Listen Fleshgod Apocalypse - The Violation
A time-honored rite of passage for react channels. =D
Oh my god, YES! I'm not sure if he's ready for that, though. Sometimes it's best to just ease people in to that kind of thing. I'd still love to see the shock and awe in his face. Fuck it. Hey Alex... DO IT!!!!
I fucking love that song. It's the first Fleshgod Apocalypse song I've heard and it's still my favorite song by them....
Fuck yes
YES! Fleshgod Apocalypse - The Violation
You should check out Alestorm. They are pirate metal. Also, check out Eluveite. They are Celtic metal. Really cool, different types of metal.
Andrew Schneider Finntroll!!!
Alex you are almost a metalhead too, you are hearing masterpieces! good job
