@SxSDeath my favorite songs from the album are fury whip,waste of tiamat,death is this communion,khanrad's wall,turk,headhunter,rumors of war,DII,cyclopian scape,ethereal,return to nod
Matt sure has read his Lovecraft.. many of the lyrics bow down to him and seem to be really inspired by his stories. Definitely not a bad thing! The Face Of Oblivion & Cometh Down Hessian come to my mind.
Matt Pike actually wrote this in like an hour. Theres a video of him just screwing around with a piano and comes up with this tune and puts it on guitar.
Guys its not a Barbarian its a tribal Head Hunter... >.> the song is called Dii because Dii is the plural form of Deus (god) in latin or some language. Its about gods because the entire album follows Hindu spiritualism. Hence Waste of Tiamat, hence Turk, hence Rumors of War, hence Khanrads wall.
i love this song, its the only good instrumental ive heard in a while besides animals as leaders, they are amazing, but this song and khanrads wall are the best so far
Barbarians don't care much for range weapons. You can still be hardcore wielding a bow that shoots multiple arrows into the hearts of your enemies! I need a new HoF album. I find their music to make really good exercise tunes.
A true desire for grabbing and ask and jumping on a horse with the intention of killing barbarians, must include the possibility of getting killed yourself. Whether it is by the barbarians, a riding accident or sheer poor battle ax handling.
@chongo666 ---bro, forget killing some barbarians! I was sitting in doctor's office today and the stupid receptionist had Maury Povich on. I was this close to wretching. SoI propose chopping off the heads of the guests/audience members of Maury Povich, Tyra Banks, and Wendy Williams. Voila! Problem solved!
one dislike? we need to find this motherfucker and burn his house down.

The four song stretch of Headhunter - Rumors of War - DII - Cyclopian Scape marks my favorite part of the album. They all flow together perfectly.

Did they use a goddamn mellotron and hammond? Anyway, keyboards sound pretty good, high on fire should use them more often!

Anyone notice that this song at 3:00 to 3:03 is really similar to Mastodons 'The Czar' at 3:40 to 3:45 ?
Not too surprising since Mastodon are HoF fans.
