Amon Amarth - Under the greyclouded sky

[svetovid777]

My favourite AA's song! \m/

[EnlilofNippur]

The intro guitar here is reminiscent of some of Dimmu Borgir's For Al Tid. I'm glad these traditional melancholic motifs haven't been lost!!!

[Maryukujin]

I liked how they sounded on their earlier albums. Twilight of the Thunder God seemed a little watered down to me in comparison to their older stuff.

[ih8makinusernames]

@Maryukujin Eh, The Earlier stuff was definantly more Raw and had a more Death Metal feel to it but the New albums are just as good, just more "melodic"

[KillSquadX]

Good song! :D "looks at the people talking about history, it's genre" >->"

[dubistnpenner]

WE DONT KNOW ANY FEAR ON THE BATTLEFIELD!!

Valhall awaits!!!

[scavenger4763]

Odins cross......or White pride(Good night white pride) :D

We play death metal. We write about vikings so, therefore, some refer us to viking metal, but I have no idea what that is. I can't imagine the vikings veer into metal at all except on the swords and stuff. And musically, I guess they only played these strange lip instruments and some bongos or whatever. „

—The Metal Web's interview with Johan Hegg

[Servant0fSteel]

haha metal.

[misery8305]

Amon Amarth is a Viking-themed, melodic death metal band from Tumba, Sweden, founded in 1988 (current name since 1992)[1], and named after an alternative name for Mount Doom, a location in J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth.

[fatguyddr]

you know, every1 says that Amon Amarth is melodic death metal, but really i dont know because i listen to other melodic deaht metal bands and in my life i have never heard a band that sounds like Amon Amarth at all. Its like they have their own genre or something, no bands sound like them.

[misery8305]

agreed

i jus posted what ive read in magazines or wikopedia

but i fukkin love this band

[theshow2k8]

@fatguyddr

This is their older stuff before they became melodic

[fatguyddr]

No i know, i wasn't referring to this. Just in general. Amon Amarth is VERY Melodic, but almost every band put in the genre "Melodic Death Metal" doesn't sound much like them.

[VaryagOfMiklagard]

Sure it is no Viking Metal ^^

The lyrics are Pagan, but the Genre (how the instruments play) is Melodic Death.

But you can feel it when you hear Amon.. it's Amazing.

Hail Oden!

[xxdrunkshadex]

i dont really see viking metal infuluences in their music, exсept the "ancient battle field feel" that you get when you listen to their songs. (and except the lyrics of course).

[GX3663]

One question. Where are the Viking Metal influences? That's definitely Melodic Death Metal.

The lyrics? They can be whatever they want. it isn't Viking Metal!

[swordofshaihulud1]

come on man, that's ignorant.

[MultiGrean]

Fuck Yeah!!

[Metalhead1546]

hahahha iceland's scandinavians did little "viking" work compaired to the norwegians and swedes... they should sing in SVENSKA becase its brutal.

[Aametherar]

Amon Amarth are awesome, but next time take the time to make an actual video to go with the music, otherwise its just shoving their work up here, which you can actually buy and has better quality thanks.

[objectivepacz]

Gotta be in a language of scandinavian origin, preferrably icelandic to be viking metal.

[kperr68]

bro amon amarth are da best so sut ur mouth u gay fag

[objectivepac]

your a gay fag? does that mean your hetero then? ... kiddie talk has - in its lack of brain activitiy - some funny expressions - Kinda like the kid version of the silly person who with the use of moronic behaviour needed to make a comment about being a moron .. who says commenting on youtube cannot be good entertainment?

[objectivepac]

viking metal is not real unless its in a scandinavian language. (Finland is not scandinavian according to scandinavians - so i dont give a rats ass what encuclopedia of ignorance say)

[Aaliamazing]

..well thanks so much for gracing us with your words of wisdom you fucking moron. Now run along and play with your barbies and razor blades you emo fag, maybe if you're lucky you can sneak in some quality time with your moms makeup kit before she gets home.

[objectivepac]

lol, making an effort to hide your weak insecurity to yourself I see... well, guess what - you just did the opposite. Silly weak person

[Aaliamazing]

That makes so much sense.....really it does. Please humor me and explain how my comment shows any signs of "weak insecurity", I'd love to hear your logic however painfully flawed it may be.

[objectivepac]

Silly person; - this is basic psychology: When you instead of arguing an opinion, display the need to make flaming remarks hinting weakness not logicly found in the comment you dislike .You actually tell what your "mind" is full of - more often than not do people find and compensate weaknesses they see in themselfs. But in this context - it became as good as a certain assumption. In lack of other logical alternatives - it is your own weakness you fear.

[Rhysman30]

I agree with Objectivepac.

Aalia is brimming with insecurity. Instead of defending his position, he pokes holes and attacks his opponent. Constantly resorting to derogatory terms, he has a need to declare how intelligent he is

to those reading. It's a sign of a weak argument, and a weak person.

It's all too common on the internet, along with people who declare, "If you reply to this, it just shows how stupid you are." also display it.

Aalia, how does it feel to be analyzed, and picked apart?

[Metalhead1546]

ur right finnish is from the same language tree as hungarian which is most definatly not a scandinavian-germanic language

[theshow2k8]

@Metalhead1546

The people of Finland are Germanic(hence their traits)but their language isn't Germanic,no you are right.

[vermonofdeceit]

wrong title,ur missing one word

[gustaf2adolf]

poo?

[420purity]

EPIC!

[sotirak1s]

Can someone explain me what that symbol means?

[Sythaz]

Well it has a couple of meanings it's called the sun cross, it's got nazi ties but I think the meaning amon amarth is going for is the one that is similar to the yin-yang it means balance and is tied to norse mythology and is a reference to the tree of life.

[purpleravenstar]

The suncross already existed WAAAAAAAAAAY before Hitler decided that it was quite cool to associate it with his political beliefs.

Stay informed.

[Sythaz]

You fucking moron, read what I said, I said that was ONE of the meanings you dumb fuck. Learn to read before you comment. Fuck off and die you failure.

[grimglen]

odins eye, its a symbol of odins sacrifice of his eye for knowledge , it was used by almost every european pagan sect as a symbol for the sun and the movement of the stars. the national socialists used it because its a symbol of there pagan ancestory like all runes

[TheHalfmen]

the symbol is actually a window...

there found commonly on barns... in the loft

but unfortunately someone left the lights on and now its on fire

[sotirak1s]

Hahahahaha! Best!

[bball312]
