KAMPFAR - Ravenheart

[scottinthedark]

always a crowd pleaser

[luffycaptain1]

nice....really nice



[ziomalfilms]

I've just heard them. Fucking awesome stuff. Can someone recommend me good bands like Kampfar, Windir, Taake and Ulver

[svartiske]

@ziomalfilms Those last three are my usual recommendations.

It's probably redundant of me to mention Immortal and Emperor. Enslaved's mid-career works are some of the finest black metal in my opinion (that'd be Below the Lights and Isa). Also, Dissection's first two are certainly worth a listen.

[svartiske]

@ziomalfilms How could I have forgotten: Satyricon's Nemesis Divina.

[bluegreedo]

This is fu$@ing sick!

[JohnFrusciante98]

I know the bassplayer Jon :D love Kampfar, hail BLACK METAL \M/

[foxtrotnovember]

if they palyed this shit in night clubs... i actually would go out !

[Napalmvieh]

@foxtrotnovember ... good, more place for people which like good metal ...

[bcasey25raptor]

just saw them live. met the singer. really nice guy.

Paganism>Satanism

[LukosMelanos]

@esc1127 Satanism is paganism ^^

[HagalOdal]

@LukosMelanos satanism is created by jews on christianity, paganism are pre-christian religions.



[LukosMelanos]

@HagalOdal Yes, but satanism is all based on paganism.

[squigg0th]

@LukosMelanos What? No it's not. Satanism varies alot and it is build up from opposites of mainstream religions. Paganism is about worthshipping the nature, the gods of natures etc. Only christian think that pagans are satanists because they are both non-belivers in christian god. Btw according to the bible, all who are non-christians are satan worshippers XD

[LukosMelanos]

@squigg0th I know that. But what I would like to say is that monotheism based their own satanism on paganism. They reinforce the dark side of paganism to make it opposite to them. And if you think about their own representations of Satan or Baphomet, it is based on pagan gods. That's all.

[LukosMelanos]

@squigg0th The ones who crucified the Nazarene were pagan, as the ones that persecuted jews in the ancient Egypt... Make a link^^

[Factednateopinions]

@LukosMelanos Pagans believing in "Gods" are just as stupid as Christians, Jews and Muslims believing in "God". Also believing in no God is just as stupid as believing in God. Everything is Nothing; the only god is no God, vice verse. Don't Believe- just look for yourself. What do you know, what can you know, and what can't you know?

[LukosMelanos]

@Factednateopinions So what ? We're all stupid if we follow you^^. I am not real pagan nor monotheist even I totally hate monotheism. Well I think we'll got a headache with that topic...

[Angeldustification]

@Factednateopinions yawn

[AmgNoWai]

@Factednateopinions Humans have two sides, the logical one and the spiritual one. With logic we understand the world, with spirituality we feel it, and we are more spiritually connected to nature than to anything else, after all, we are also part of it. You seem to have a poor understanding of religion and your nihilistic philosophy doesn't really have anything to do with religion in the first place.

[Factednateopinions]

@AmgNoWai You misunderstand what I'm saying. I'm not saying religion has no substance to it or that spirit does not exist but why should we stop at believing when we can see, find out, and know.

[Factednateopinions]

@AmgNoWai an atheist does not know god does not exist just as a christian does not know but beleives god exists. both are just as ignorant. poor understanding? maybe but it's my own at least and not borrowed from the bible or a rejection of it.

[Lilmacmcmo]

@Factednateopinions This might be the stupidest comment I have ever read!! Thanks for wasting 30 seconds of my life with this complete nonsense. STUPID!! STUPID!! STUPID!!

[Factednateopinions]

@LukosMelanos ...and based on Christianity and Judaism. Satanism is dependent on the religions of Judeo-christianity; that is where the word Satan came from not pagan religions. Also, the Bible god is the most devilish deity if you think about it but im sure this is a cliche though for people listening to BM.

[Dualismoassoluto]

@HagalOdal

Man, you're totally right !!!

[oOEquilibriumOo]

[ben1111113]

I label this: Awesome!

[sathanas222]

If you dont' like this then you don't like Metal

[Joszomitsu]

@sathanas222 youre funny boy.

[Spindator]

I like Kampfar, but I hate there support act Krakow, boring to death

[backflip369159]

cold

[hellfencer]

I would be more apt to call this sort of thing "Sognametal" which is a term the late Valfar of Windir invented. It is basically a term meaning the fusion of folk and metal. Its a kind of black metal with a pagan feel, as I've seen others describing this song / music. Personally I just think its awesome.

[Wotansp]

@hellfencer you noob, Sognametal is named after the region where Valfar lived, Sogn... Omg I'm so tired of noobs just labelling everything. LABEL MY Co...

[hellfencer]

@Wotansp Did you even listen to the interviews? Fucking idiot. And I only offered a label so as to help further that sort of sound. I personally hate labels. But you can just go fuck your self in the dark corner.

[ADeadlierSnake]

FUCK THIS SONG IS SO AWESOME!!!!!!

[Vyohman]

Kvass? What does it mean? In polish it means "acid" (kwas) ^^

[Kraehe]

@Vyohman "Kvass" or "kvas" generally is a low-alcohol beverage made from fermented rye bread; but I think in Kampfar's context, it refers to the blood of Kvasir, a being in Norse mythology created by the mixed saliva of the Aesir and the Vanir as a symbol of truce after the war against each other. Kwasir was the wisest being in the world and from his blood mixed with honey the "mead of poetry" was created. Just look it up, it's a bit too contrived to explain it here.

[sabathan777]

@Vyohman In french, it means "tranchant"!

[flypem1]

saw them perform at Ragnarök this weekend.

one of the best shows there, in my opinion.

[annahermanni]

Saw them at WOA 2010. They were fantastic!

[exactinmidget92]

so what is pagan metal? some ppl have told me what it is but im not sure.

from what they told me its like super heavy Christian music.

plz someone help

[ChrononautDoom]

@exactinmidget92 Pagan metal is borderline black metal..usually a bit more melodic..and it's basically the exact opposite of christian music. So either you're very uneducated in what Paganism is..or you're a troll..i'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you just don't know.

[exactinmidget92]

@ChrononautDoom no i dont know thats why i ask

[narutofreak12312312]

To the 6 peoples that dislikes this video! I will drink from your skulls! For Blood, for glory, for the gods!

[narutofreak12312312]

To all people that support european Folk/Pagan/Viking/Black/ Metal: Odin will be with ye all ! Hail \m/ \m/ Kampfar !

[TheExplodingPumpkin]

DONT UPLOAD MORE FOR GODS SAKE MAKE A NEW CHANNEL INSTEAD

[YugSoth]

@TheExplodingPumpkin if that's your angle, then wouldn't it be for satan's sake? :P

[murcia1975]

Speechless.. Skandinavian musik is awesome.. Kampfar is awesome and they´re one of the few bands that still got the true essence of norwegian metal... I love their musik, personally.. Long life til Kampfars kunsten !!!

[kraxelander]

i love metal but that music is for retards^^

[DimebagHK]

@kraxelander ...

[THEBEAUTYOFBRUTALITY]

@kraxelander if that music is for retards why don't you listen to it then?

[kraxelander]

@THEBEAUTYOFBRUTALITY don´t you ever listen to music that u don´t like?

so i guess u klick never a link a friend has sent u.

[THEBEAUTYOFBRUTALITY]

@kraxelander when i hear a song i don't like i won't go bitching about the people who like listening to it like a fucking youtube warrior

[kraxelander]

@THEBEAUTYOFBRUTALITY touch your nose...

[Sigmea]

@kraxelander Wait a second...you hear bands like "Suicide Silence" and you said "i love metal"? fag. go and listen to some real metal and not some f'''ing deathcore...

[kraxelander]

@Sigmea Who said i listen just to suicide silence?

so, metal isn´t metal... and deathcore is no black metal... But yeah, you´re all retards xD

[metalonios]

@kraxelander /DIE

[kraxelander]

@metalonios Kids xD

[knjazvovk]

[kingofbirds07]

[Casandrablackmetal]

[chrestovenator]

This is such an awesome song.

[nuclear13666]

\m/

[hamm3rfall666]

hey man,don't post any more videos. You've got cool number of this ;]

[Hrimthur666]

I love this song. Well, the whole album, of course! :D

[KLINGUBA]

Este también está siempre entre los temas más solicitados por la gente, que a veces no consigue comunicarse por teléfono, porque ya otro está hablando para pedirlo, precisamente.

[Amon666Amarth]

love this song

[Akratash]

fucking awesome

[Stigmatikk]

God damn, this band keeps getting better with every listen. :D

[VILesnichi]

Kampfar жжет! Рубите еще!

[Brjostabarn]

I didn't know these guys were good!

[TheGhostOfHeritage]

one of there best songs

[shadowpack1]

is gorgoroth a good black metal band?

[oskoret]

@shadowpack1 Early releases? Hell yeah.

[MarchingIntoFire]

@oskoret last record is fuckin good too

[jaehaus]

@oskoret Some of their later stuff is pretty good as well. Quantos slayed Ad Majorem, Twilight, and Incipit Satan!

[kekkai666]

@shadowpack1 Gorgoroth is okay, but if you're new to Black metal, you might want to try Marduk or Darzamat, that's what got me into Black Metal.

[metalupyourass624]

@kekkai666

Immortal. Son of Norther Darkness!!!! \m/

[gbortuhno]

@shadowpack1 and their last album as well

[broccol]

@shadowpack1 I like early releases also. Pentagram, antikrist and under the sign of hell, that is best of old production

[dran219]

@shadowpack1 gorgoroth are legends at black metal!!!! but they don't beat Venom the creators of it

[Hrimthur666]

@shadowpack1

Like oskoret says, just the early releases! Try "Antichrist" and "Pentagram"!

[agrinio6acab]

@shadowpack1 of course yes!

[TeatroGrottesco]

@shadowpack1 PENTAGRAM 666 -I- -I- -I- ANTICHRIST 666 -I- -I- -I-

[togumaru]

@shadowpack1 ; Yes it is. Even after gaahl and king lost the trial, pest and infernus made a good job with the 2010 record.

[L2Bass]

@shadowpack1 but they suck dick live lol

[Belthal]

@L2Bass

cannot agree

i saw them live and it was fucking great

[L2Bass]

@Belthal maybe an off day for me then, i saw em bloodstock 2010 and just thought the guitarist was incredibly sloppy

[Belthal]

@L2Bass

maybe. i saw them at Summer Breeze 2010. One of the best shows there

[Getty420]

@shadowpack1

No..

[FUJOO666]

@shadowpack1 FUCK YES!!!

[Chickenchowname]

@shadowpack1 Their Pentagram album is the best Black Metal album ever in my opinion.

[AbortionStench]

@shadowpack1 I'm in the band Octagon, and the singer from Gorgoroth, Pest, just recorded vocals for our album Truest Offensive Gesture.

[DieddaBohln]

@shadowpack1

Ehrm.....YES?!?

[MrBlackster666]

@shadowpack1 The first disc is fantastic and have become commercial and have lost their credibility and their music has become poorer

[MetalsPlague]

this reminds me of bathory a little bit and also has a similar sound to enslaved's frost album.

[PapaHull138]

metal is metal for the most part.

[ItWasForLulz]

Amon Amarth's sound is melodic death metal, but they sing about vikings, so technically, they are considered viking metal as well, however they are not folk metal.

[parabola235]

@ItWasForLulz Amon Amarth are not considerd viking metal at all(well in the eyes of the naive they are) they are 'viking themed' melodic death metal.

[ItWasForLulz]

From Amon Amarth's website: "Official page of the Viking metal band. Includes a biography, news, show dates and photos."

[parabola235]

@ItWasForLulz they just aren't viking metal, so drop it...

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.

you can find that off Wikipedia, they don't even know what viking metal is...

[ItWasForLulz]

Parabola235: I think they can be considered either, but it doesn't really matter, now does it? Whether they are viking metal, or melodeath, I personally think they are good; whether they are viking metal, or melodeath, your opinion on them is the same as well, whatever that may be.

In short, subgenre arguments are pointless.

[parabola235]

to be honest i see your point, although they are still in no way viking metal, but they are good band, but this conversation shouldn't even be present on a page completely irrelevant to amon amarth haha

[cildrenofbodom0000]

right man!!!

[AK4769er]

Was reading one of my old terrorizer magazines today and read about these guys. First time I've listened to them too. Not disappointed at all! I'm going to continue checking these guys out.

[DerAnstifter]

Fuck off Amon Amarth, fuck off Thyrfing, Fuck Off Ensiferum, fuck off mainstream shit... THIS IS TRUE VIKING METAL!!!

[blindguardian666]

You should fuck off with your comments...

Amon is no viking metal... they play death metal

btw kampfar is a great band xD

See you at Wacken 2010

Rain or Shine !

[blindguardian666]

Your opinion i like them

[downsider45]

And Amon Amarth is Melodic Death Metal with a Viking Theme. A Band doesn't need to have the same vocal style as most bands of the Genre or use some sort of Traditional instruments to be "Viking" Metal.

It's just with Black Metal. Most bands within the Viking Metal Genre have some elements of Black Metal.

As for this Band? I dig it and will probably get a few albums, no doubt.

[8WaysofLife]

@DerAnstifter Fuck off this and fuck of that. The only sure thing is you ain´t fucking at all!

[bce5150]

you must be from Scandinavia if you think Thyrfing is mainstream. I'm from USA and I've only talked to one or two people who even know who they are

[h1r43th4l1v3]

you're comment makes no sense

If even Thyrfing is mainstream ...

[downsider45]

Actually, if you want true Viking Metal then it would be the Godfather of the Genre which would be Bathory since 1988 to 2003. (Earlier works were Black Metal and somewhere between 1988 to 2003 he released one or two Black Metal records)

Throw in some Falkenbach and yeah, there you go. But there is nothing wrong with Amon Amarth, Thyrfing or Ensiferum. They are all signed to a Major Record Label. If Napalm isn't Major? It's cause' she's still young. They all right their own shit, great music.

[parabola235]

@downsider45 great comment dude, Bathory are awesome

[TheInundation]

YES! Quorthon's Nordland is tops

[KlangdesWaldes]

See us @ WOA 2010

[DvineINFEKT]

Great fucking music but this song irks me for the first few seconds.

The opening sounds crazy similar to Rage's Killing In The Name. Yes, I know its one note, that rings. It's just that I can't help but wait for the bass to drop before I remember...oh right. It's Kampfar. After the fourth measure, it's all good though. Hahaha. =]

...Great shit. =]

[Gothidarium]

Fuck dimmu and cradles when there are bands like: Einherjer, Kampfar, Thyrfing, Enslaved, Heidevolk, Falkenbach, Månegarm, Asenblut, Nidhøgg, Finntroll,

Summoning, Equilibrium, Arathorn, Týr,

Korpiklaani .. and manu many great Folk/Black/Pagan Bands . (if evryone need any bands in this genre PM )

[MrAmethystium]

any good progressive metal?

[darkscapal]

@Gothidarium hmm i think YOU have NO right to say fuck dimmu beause dimmu was WAY before other black metal bands. dimmus first 3 albums where great so dont shit on them.

[MarilynJade]

@Gothidarium windir!

[Mordekai1]

@Gothidarium

Please get those nerdy viking fantasies out of my black metal please thank you :)

[Atrumus]

@Gothidarium WINDIR!

[gunsncrocker]

@Gothidarium new dimmu album was lots of fun i must admit

[guill62]

@Gothidarium MOONSORROW!

[Brjostabarn]

@Gothidarium don't forget about Burzum, early Darkthrone, Old Funeral, and ofcourse Mayhem (with Dead on Vocals)

[ghiribizzi]

@Brjostabarn true old school black metal, you mean!

[Brjostabarn]

@ghiribizzi Hell yeah!

[VoiceOfTheVoiceless7]

@erydiam Tolkien Black Metal??? Fucking pathetic!

[erydiam]

@VoiceOfTheVoiceless7

What ? go learn a bit of Summoning as well to talk, Fucking pathetic!!,  Whatever....my respect Kampfar !!!!

[Deathstick88]

@Gothidarium I can listen to dimmu and cradle and all the others band you mentioned, people who get into the more popular metal bands will at some point find the more unknown ones.

[gothwench]

@Deathstick88 and often times come to prefer the more unknown ones, some of the best bands are the most unknown and underrated.

[searanox]

Why is it that whenever someone posts a black metal band, the first thing anyone mentions is Dimmu Borgir or Cradle of Filth?

[jeppezu]

I do not fucking know. It's really getting to my nerves to hear about those two bands in every fucking place where someone mentions black metal.

[5tevie5teve]

Absolutely great song! And to Dimmu and Cradle... what they do is quite good but it´s NOT black metal.

[CurtdoggLP5]

It's a good thing it's only YOUR opinion, otherwise we'd all be far less intelligent.

[DroogieSteve]

This really isn't very stylistically different to Dimmu Borgir... Maybe real black metal fans just hate synthesisers or good production

[makkabaeus1]

why are you dudes always wasting time by troubling over bands like dimmu or cradle???

listen to ravenheart and shut the fuck up bout anthing else
