[Strigerlv]

lol, funny how everyone think that that sign is a sign of nazi's

while the thing is, that this sign has been found in ancient troy and other greek and persian cities, and even before that on around 4000 yr old artifacts

that sign is the swastika only because hitler used an ancient sign, he did not create it, that sign is the embodiment of universal movement, movement of energy, or simplysticly said, a sign of sun, our greatest energy giver

obviously hitler wanted to use a powerful sign.

[gijscoman1]

@Strigerlv U r totally right! In almost every culture swastika's are found. Even in jewish culture! This sign meant power and immortality in most of the cultures. The Italians used Roman symboles, but we aren't complaining about the Romans using eagles and using 'Fasces', a kind of Roman weapon after which Fascism was named. So we mustn't fuck about everything that looks wrong. We must complain about things that ARE wrong and Skyforger isn't!!!

[shigulifan]

greetings from Hungary my friends

[ke5has]

Great song, greetings brothers from Lithuania. Didybė mūsų bočiam ir jų dievam!

Par godu mūsu senčiem un viņu dieviem!

[RokkYgAz]

We all shud remeber our history. The point is that latvian solders lives between two big nations - Russia and Germany. In ww1 and 2 we were in both sides and all what latvians want is freedom. Why latvians cant remember theyr greatest fighters and make songs about them? About this nazi thing what i readed before. You all were wrong guys! :D They are not nazi. They have nazi uniform? no Do they have wear them? Absolutely no. They use authintic ancient latvian thundercross. Nothing wrong with that

[Gijscoman666]

The swastika is in almost every culture. Even in the jewish culture, Swastika´s exist. So why is everyone fucking about it. If someone rapes symboles of cultures, you are still allowed to like the culture. The fascists in Italy used symbols of the Roman Empire. That didn´t stop us from liking, using and being influenced by that culture. So STFU if u dont know what you say!!!

[Latvietis996]

The swastika had many meanings, in ancient Asian cultures it was a sign of peace in othe cultures it was a sign of strength i.e. Latvian culture Ugunu Krusts or the flip-flopped version called Perkonu Krusts, then the fucker Adolf Hitler came around and ruined for all cultures by using it as his symbol just because you see a swastika somewhere doesnt automatically mean its related to Nazism

[EndureTemptation]

what nazism!? Latvian Riflemans fought for communism actually.

History ain't that simple.

[ignatov11]

im latvian, i just like skyforger music+))

[runcis182]

Wtf where the fuck you see swastika ?

[Metalheadyup]

@runcis182

The O in the logo is one variant. Sunwheel and suncross being the preferred terms.

[VoiceOfTheVoiceless7]

Respect your Roots! Fuck Nazi and Left-Wing Scum!

[Gijscoman666]

@VoiceOfTheVoiceless7 I´m left wing, but not communist. Just socialdemocrat. Am I wrong? Hope not xD

[Vctirio]

I believe that it's a european culture that links do their roots, like nazism do... Different thoughts about it, of course.

@torhjelm is absolutely right. I'm brazilian and I can say people think that way, indeed.

[swords35]

SKYFORGER RULLE Rulzz

LATVIAN RIFLEMAN NEWER DIE!!!

[Lachausis]

Who was the idiot that started all the nazi crap in the comments? Listen to the fucking music, morons! It's about Latvian riflemen, that are no more. Envy them and fear their curse.

[eddliv]

@RussianTrue wow, ever heard of the 1000 Latvian riflemen fighting 10000 horde of drunk Russian invaders? they almost took em down, but went out of bullets to feed the manslaughter. Learn your history boy, Russian history books are meant for you to think this way :D

[RussianTrue]

@eddliv Ye I've heard about some mystical riflemen from latvia.hahahaha

It's bullshit.And I know how history being taught in latvian schools,It is like this

"All russians are bad and americans good":DDDD

You just been brainwashed in school.Your problem is that you don't understand that .

So you can better teach you wife how prepare a soup,then teach me history.

[MazaKuce]

@RussianTrue

Yeah, right, Latvian riflemen are bullshit, right? Then tell me who killed the most Germans in WW1??

[Kristallscherbe]

@RussianTrue have you any evidences for you theory?

[Gijscoman666]

@RussianTrue Hey, the Russians did stop the nazis, but the way they did was most of the time more terrible then the Germans. Raping innocent women and kids. In the first German village they saw, the crucified all the women and children after having raped them. Nice country you have, dude!

[RussianTrue]

@Gijscoman666 I ain't listen because I've heard all that bullshit Before, too many times before

[FreeAgain2]

Don't Forget - at the very beginning of WWII - Britain declared war against Russia!

[rudebaiba007]

the best!!!

noteiktie viena no labākajām "lietām", kas mums ir!

[Ochoa0592]

Stop talking about how stupid trolls are, shut the fuck up and enjoy this fucking viking masterpiece.

[245ikl]

@Ochoa0592

viking lol

its pagan dude

[Kristallscherbe]

@245ikl Its the same.

[MrGunnerRetired]

The tragedy of it is, if the 'Allies' had welcomed Deutschlande (Germany) onto the world industrial market at the singing of the Treaty of Versailles in 1918... the art school reject would never have risen to power and give us WW II in Europe.

[FreeAgain2]

@MrGunnerRetired Others would say - WWI never ended -just took a pause - and was set to continue - just waiting for someone's army to be built.

[SauronSuperstar]

lol 95 gefällt, 1 nicht xD

[Ebildays]

@SauronSuperstar XD Probably had his hands shaking so hard he hit the wrong button.

[MiddelearthOnFire]

@Ebildays ^.^ wird wohl so gewesen sein ^.^

Im übrigen geile Band. Auf dem Ragnarök waren sie Klasse. Ich denke 2011 spieln sie wieder dort.

[runcis182]

How can someone associate Latvian riflemen with nazism when Latvian riflemen were fighting in First World War in national battalions under Russian empire army!!!

[Kadmos88]

@runcis182 It would make more sense! Russian Aristocracy wassnt russian in first place, second, the Russian Empire later entered in war against BOLSHEVISM...but Skyforger has made it clear that THEY ARE NOT NAZIS...And I respect that, they make AWESOME MUSIC!

[xKurokawax]

pagan metal bands such as Cruachan and Skyforgerhave also disassociated themselves from Nazism, fascism or racism. Skyforger went as far as to add the words 'No Nazi Stuff Here!' on the back of their album covers

[ChileGuey]

The swastika was used for a lot of things before the nazis adopted it as their symbol. Therefore, this symbol should be taken as more than that.

[VendPrekmurec]

I've found the symbol in some field few years ago with archeological excavation. It is a symbol of the sun...sun (swast - is ancient indoeuropean word for - light... sweititi, scheinati, in my language understand as sveititi (to shine ; also in german languages people say Sonne scheint,...) u can find roots in every european language

[tetris136]

Tavs jaunais līders ir Kangarovichs.

[Dor150]

about the symbol, i havent noticed that its a form of a swastika at all until i really took a look at it, i dont think its wrong to have a swastika in your logo if you dont support the nazi ideaology, and im talking as a descendant to holocaust survivers

[dopiceee]

swastika means the same no matter which side it is rotating..it is an overall nations symbol for sun and the highest power in the nature..american indians knew it, buddhists, hinduists, germanics, slavonic people, baltic people..everyone..i saw a picture of an old lady from Archangelsk during the 2nd world war..her skirt was full of swastika ornaments..does it make her nazi?:-D

[EdTheBadass]

well then.. all hinduists are nazi. simple as that.

[PivotVision]

yeah even the Baltic pagan symbol had a svastika that doesnt mean that the balts were nazi !!!

[EdTheBadass]

naah.. they probably were nazi all the time.

some 10 000 y. BC. they just decided - "hey wouldn't it be fun to be nazi? Let's draw swastikas etc. Heil Not-yet-born-Hitler"

[MrAmethystium]

@EdTheBadass swastika is a lithuanian ancient symbol

[Ebildays]

@MrAmethystium Balt ancient symbol* :D

[swords35]

@EdTheBadass you know fuck all about latvian rifleman and latvian history so shut the fuck up!

[swords35]

all info abaut skyforger in vikipedia they where newer asociate them with nazi

[TheMacBajinskis]

@EdTheBadass

Do you bitch now what is perkonkrusts it is not swastika you bitch ass little fucker ....

[EdTheBadass]

@TheMacBajinskis

Citā sabiedrībā tu par tādiem uzbraucieniem vienkārši prasti dabūtu pa muti.

Ej, izaudz no sava 10 gadus vecā prāta haha

[siens96]

@EdTheBadass JĀ BET AIZSTĀVĒT SAVUS SENČUS NAV SLIKTI VAI NE ....

[torhjelm]

Does anyone else think how creepy it is when somebody makes an album about Latvian soldiers, some morons instantly associate it to national socialists? And I´m not just talking about the troll on this comment page. I´ve witnessed this many times. Goes to show how ignorant and brainwashed most ppl (particularly commies and natives to Allied countries) are when it comes to Baltic war history.

[lucilinburhuc666]

as if it was a bad thing to love and be proud of your country ;)

[EdTheBadass]

@torhjelm

it's creepy that anyone even cares about what some no-lifers on internet say :)

[punxnotbread]

@torhjelm

i totally agree

[Misunion]

@torhjelm It would seem silly to say that other countries know something about Latvia or Latvians them selfs. Most of the people i`w spoken around the Internet did`t even know where Latvia is. So We Latvians have to just live with it. Don`t stress about it so much there is almost no way to explain other people thing they have heard from media around the world. You just have to see it for your self before speak about things like these. Tas neatiecas uz tevi torhjelm, jo tu esi savējais :)

[TheCastiel]

@torhjelm I have not found nothing of the Nazis, what bothers me is that a lot of them are made​sacred symbols of paganism and many fans believe that paganism NS is limited to white people

[huchington]

a great latvian band !

Real Viking Metal !!!

not umpah-umpah shit stuff like korpiklaani or finntroll !

[Naukkat]

Neither korpiklaani, skyforger or finntroll are viking metal. The umpah-umpah thing is called humppa.

[CHARADIUS]

uh... skyforger isn't viking metal.

[huchington]

Ok, maybe you would prefer to say it's a "Epic/Pagan Metal" band. I said Viking Metal because of the Folk musical way of this band. But you can always play with the words if you like it...

[stefannikolicns]

I love this band!

I really respect Latvian people, i think they had history like us Serbs, they got stuck between powerful nations, but were brave enough to resist for centuries.

All the best from Serbia!!!

[sinaaj]

hi

lucilinburhuc666 ! that "No nazi stuff here" is coz on the album they have a firecross simbolic, and meny people in whole world confuses it with wwII nazzi germany simbolic (sorry 4 the spelling :) )

[lucilinburhuc666]

thx

[lucilinburhuc666]

I have this album and I think it is really good. But I have one question, on the back in the upper left corner they wrote "No nazi stuff here", why?

[LittleSaw]

bcause there is swastika in skyforgers band name....  O letter is like swastika... and swastika doesnt mean enything nazzi...

other people think that swastika is a nazi symbol... it's bullshit

[lucilinburhuc666]

ok, thanks. It's really stupid how the nazis used normal symbols (swastika,runes) and gave them a negatice connotation. Lots of pagan bands suffer because of this.

[lulztr0n]

@LittleSaw people are ingorant, let them be fools.

[Oulatek]

very interesting new band for me....

[Minotharus]

Cool band.Welcome to Lithuania on Independent day in Tevynei 1000 \m/

[Bybiazmogis]

gerai chebra graina,pas mus Andaja gerai suduoda irgi

[Seppovesimies]

Latvien Rifleman is one of the greatest pagan album ever made.

[ViaBestiae]

Melodies, Folk instruments ... don't be a smartass^^

[vbyuer]

Although the lyrics aren't dominated by pagan themes, they're still there.

[Hammerheart88]

So even the germans which these latvian riflemen were shooting weren't NS :--D

[Incisionator]

not really. Except Mr Adolf himself maybe, but he was not on this front.

[alonderis]

adolf was not the head of germans in ww1!

[Hammerheart88]

There's no way you could link this with anything NS related, this battle took place in WW1...

[lulztr0n]

exactly

[cagallone4]

Very good band *___*

[warfareNL]

Hails To Skyforger

and all the fans

gr8 band 5*

[Ulfnarr]

what a band!!!

[Kurlandlegionar]

Battle at Plakani, battle at Veisi,

First glisten, fortune,-

It made riflemans in blood legend.

A. Čaks

[Kurlandlegionar]

Kauja pie Plakaniem, kauja pie Veisiem,

Pirmā mirdzošā, veiksmā, -

Tā pārvērta strēlniekus asins teiksmā.

[thegrimner]

If anything, it's as anti german as can be. It was germans these latvian riflemen were shooting at.

[Thepunishingguy]

Not only germans,my ancestors were shooting at all bastards that had a thought to invade our land.Fuck them!Good thing they are dead now

[splendid696]

That's not their fault, they where doing the orders.

[Thepunishingguy]

Sorry dude,but i just don't give a shit!

Nothing personal...but i think i know history of my people better than you do.

[LatviaRocks]

I'm so in love with Latvia! Great country, great people, great bands! Skyforger - rock on!

[allth3s4me]

bad pic? it's our riflemen under the chemical attack!

[666M3T4L666]

music is nice

but the picture...

just ignorant...

only coz they use runes in their bandnames it's not NS!!!

[Impz1980]

metsatöll is better:)

[RBlaK]

This is not NS.
