This song is so fucking awesome! Its sad too bcuz music will never be like this again! This is the best song next along with ''burnin' leather'' and ''bond of blood''.
Thank you Quorthorn, You have produced the finest quality of music to many people across the world and brought happiness to all who listen you your works of art, Without you metal would not be the same :') Thank you.
Only one man can blend so perfect Black and Thrash metal and incorporate Viking/Pagan themed lyrics so melodically. That one and only man is Quorthon\m/
You'd be silly. Music is music. I'm pretty openly anti-Christian, but if there's a Christian band that makes great music, I'll listen. Virgin Black would be one that I honestly enjoy the living shit out of.
Haha, I re-read that and realized that it didn't quite come off as I had hoped. I'm anti-Christianity. I have no issue with Christians as long as they don't try to "save" me.
@mchenj LOLOLOL , I know what you mean, and don't worry i'm not one of those christians obsessed with god and the idea of going to Hell etc... in fact im planning to change my religion ... witchcraft sounds interesting :)
Little bit on history here,The main reason why norway is christian because King Olaf I of Norway.Olaf had raided various European cities and fought in several wars eventually he came in contact with a christian and accepted it.Haakon Jarl(the king of the time) was already facing a revolt, and Olaf Tryggvason could convince the rebels to accept him as their king.this song is about how Scandinavia lost its idenity in christianity,It became like europe and lost its culture to european ways.
I still have trouble believing how young Quorthon was when he wrote this. I think it's awesome hearing his barely pubescent voice sing about war, lol. Dude could have pillaged a small community at 8 years old and be a threat to every man's sense of masculinity.
haha people always think quorton will take his laptop in valhall, and will check video comments xD
hey guys take your guitars and drums and make music like quorton did, ...this is the only way to keep this epic music, the ONLY music, in mind and give quorton the respect he decerves
@VOJISLAVzvaniGAVRA omg i know ur comment is kinda old lol but i love bathory and I realized the same yesterday in the shower... while listening to them XD
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Christianity is nothing more than a widespread plague that brainwashes children and turns loving people into bloodthirsty bigots. Fuck Christianity. They've done absolutely nothing but oppress millions of people and cause pain and suffering to countless more. If only we could go back to the old days of local religions by region, like Paganism, the Native American belief system, and the old Asian religions. Burn the cross down!
christians say the vikings were barbaric, with their warriors religion and killing people for no just cause, And yet it was the christians who killed millions during the crusade's for an imaginary cross? a bit of fucking wood?
@jacksonthrasher Don't forget the Inquizition, Witch hunts. And the ever so popular if you're not part of my religious sect you will burn atitude. Which unfortunately still is around. Especially here in the states.
One oncredible thing about this song is that i never stop being amazed by how well these vocals are performed. Suddenly I hear new things which are fucking amazing!
Everyone who joined christianity was forced to, they were threatened with hell and fire if they did not worship god. Or they were simply killed and tortured, in no particular order.
Not everyone. Think, for example, of the Islandish Thor's hammer, where the vikings used the cross in their Thor's hammer emblem. It wasn't as harsh when Christianity arose, just like it wasn't that harsh when the Romans took over parts of northern europe. The accepted local dieties etc. Nonetheless, I agree that during the centuries, christianity fucked up more and more!
But hey, we're here to enjoy this AWESOME song! It's amazing!!!
breathtaking indeed
