@elmoslachthuis Even though Spartans and vikings were 100's of years apart from each other, I dont know where you get your info.. and Spartans trained themselves a lot harder than 8th century Scandinavian warbands. Dont get the wrong idea, I love them, but In all reality a Spartan legion would move through "Vikings" like a hot knife through butter.
Spaniards and Norwegians are of two different heritages. Why are any of you even trying to point out a criticism? They are both Europeans? Well we are all humans; Now any justification seems immoral. Enjoy the song and shut the hell up. Chances are if any of you met up with a Viking or Spartan you'd never live to tell the tale anyways.
you know many people tend to forget that America was founded by Northern Europeans. Irish, Welsh, English, Germans excreta. if I, an American, want to honor my ancestors of Northern Europe what is stopping me from learning what i need to know about it?
instead of discussing what others are doing here im just going to compliment the maker of the video for his great work. the 300 make a great video to go with this song. so very nicely done m8. amon amarth rules. one of the best bands out there.
Everyone who says us Americans don't know anything about European history is DEAD WRONG. I research, read, and listen to almost anything and everything having to do with history. I LOVE history. I don't know alot about viking culture and history but i would love to find out.
I hate all these modern aged people pretending like there is some gods awful argument to be had about past societies. if u ask me everyone who argues about other societies or comes up with some lame ass excuse for y theirs is better is only proving they are corrupted them selves. Corrupteed by the Christian Church- Not the religion, but what the people made it to be. Sure every one killed but they did it to survive and be free, until the Church came along and at sword tip converted them.
@Brjostabarn what I would be concerned with is that we lock up our food. I'd draw comparisons to the peace of mind that natives had over the lack of life security that we suffer. So, i think it is worth a look at what other people have done that made them value life, as opposed to the modern man who just clings to life because of fear of the unknown.
@fo1k1ore the problem is that the modern man isn't afraid of anything because we know and have discovered pretty much everything, so not being afraid of anything forever makes people weak, they have the mind set that everything is ok but when faced with a tough decision they cower because they are not used to the fear of doing something wrong
Why is everyone arguing about Polish vikings? Who's to say there wasn't? Vikings settled in many lands... As far as ireland and even North America, so they could have just as easily settled in Poland. But who gives a fuck anyways . Thing song is awesome.
metal is to open our minds from the suppression of society. i may be American but i hold hard to my European ancestors. i believe in creating my own path and forging great alliances to benefit me in the future when CHAOS will reign.
Why don't you guys just Shut The Fuck Up. Drink a beer, and enjoy the music. While you guys are grabbing a beer, you all might wanna look into pulling those sticks outta your asses. Just saying.
yaa....im from thu u.s and im pretty much 100% europe bloodlines so...ya an ive studdied alot about all of them and im a metalhead so suck moi dick!!!and yes vikings were known for killing and plundering but also trading sailing and a bunch of other shit!!!!!and besides how the fuck are polish vikings thats near germany lol
@silvigirl78 I was saying first he should learn how to spell as in before he does anything else or tells anyone else to do anything Ms. Smarty Pants :P
viking were considered barbarians for their brutal tactics and fighting techniques, but they were more than pillagers and murderers, they were glorious warriors that looked like they were made of stone their presence was scary, but they were not affraid to die for their cause and that was the most important thing...
Good job! the song went well with the scenes. why is everyone bicthing about vikings and greeks? it was cool. the spartans and vikings were warrior culture's. Respect
@Mourtsos you say that metal should open eyes but you are pretty close minded and judmental about america...maybe you should remove the shit thats covering your eyes and practice what you preach phony fucka
@jstoecker you moron the spartans were defeated by the persians because they were only 300 and the persians wre thousand. And they were defeated because of a traitor. The thebans were allies and the macedonians barely fought with them. They have defeated the athenians most of the times. And when those people knew how to fight and train from little boys viking didn't exist. MORON.
I just learned that "The Rainbow Bridge" is also used a lot by pet enthusiasts when dealing with the loss of their pet. Essentially there is a green meadow in heaven. Rainbow Bridge is both the name of the meadow and an adjoining bridge connecting it to Heaven. Pets run across and wait for their owner to die. When the owner dies the pet comes for their owner and guides them across the Rainbow Bridge.
Maybe their pet dog died and they made this song for him. :D
I Love Amon Amarth and Nordic mythology, but I also know a bit about classical civilisations, Spartans are the toughest men in history. So whoever says that spartans ''are like little schoolgirls compared to vikings!'' Its just a dumbass.
Vikings were great and resistant warriors too, but Spartans were born to kill, that was the only thing they did -train how to kill. Vikings were warriors but also blacksmiths fishers etc.
Did you just say the spartans were school girls compared to vikings? Spartans are the base of most fighting styles now. They were BORN into battle and from the time they could fight they were. Viking boys didn't use swords till their 15th birthdays. Spartans got their first swords at 7 years old... Both are hardcore in their own rights.
@jstoecker53 the only "Menly" and "Hero" thing about this whole story is the Mythological part where "Vikings" and "Norse" were fighting against beast,monsters,an so on...but the matter is that this is MYTHIC and no truth.anyway.check out the names of the planets,names of the Satelites,Spaceships,blabla..even the music that you hear to is based on Greek pentatonic..but,as a Viking keep your eyes closed and keep on butchering the history and the facts..great song,greater movie,greatest history.
@Mourtsos What about the days Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday coming from the root words Odens' day, Thors' day, and Freys' day? I think that is a pretty profound affect on modern culture. Science uses Greek and latin words primarily because the modern scientific process came from Socratic philosophy. You should evaluate each cultures philosophy Greek: live passionately. Viking: live gloriously, die well. Who's more manly in your opinion? Besides, the best part of BOTH cultures were myths.
@KlausMiester Viking: live gloriously, die well.=slaughter,rape,pillage...cause thats what mainly happened,the vikings didn't have natural resources,they needed to take it from someone...the only thing you can tell me about viking culture affecting the modern culture are the day's of the week?anyway...I won't compare anymore these 2 cultures.I'm proud to talk about my History,my ancestors,my past.guys like halabinono can only be proud of comments with 6 thumbs up saying bullshit.
@KlausMiester anyway...i said i like Norse Mythology and history below...I just hate guys like these,that say,"haha they are so gay and blablabla".How not gay or brutal you think you look behind you computer screen eating your potato chips and listening to this song imagining your self as a viking,while in fact your belly touches the keyboard?anyway I hope i didn't get offended,I'm not talking about you...but hell...open your eyes people.
@KlausMiester man u r totally wrong. do u consider goring a manly deed? killing without reason is mania not glory. if killing is manly then animals are far more brave than humans.bravery is fighting for a moral cause, following an ethical code of honor.thats manly.crawling through rivers to loot cities an fuck virgins is just cowardly.killing brutally is easy man, thats what butchers do,whats the fucking honor in this?? just re-read the crap u type, goat.
dude, chill your sh*t. First of all Viking culture wasn't all about killing, raping, and murdering innocent, nor are the songs that Amon Amarth performs. Take an anthro class or something and you might learn that the norse were an incredible sophisticated civilization that followed an extremely honorable moral and ethical code. Can you even define those words? Living gloriously is more than killing, it is a commitment to exploration, innovation, and pride for great deeds done.
@KlausMiester yeap right: incredible sophisticated civilisation.... they didnt have bathrooms for gods sake! hahahahahahaha they didnt have written texts appart from carved in stone runes and some childish poems and a basic mythology by the 12 century.what the f*ck are u comparing now? u know what, hold your ground i m not arguing with you. all i know is that u use a couple of thousand greek origined words in your vocabulary,thats enough to show who was the sophisticated bitch.
Wow... you told me, I think I might actually be arguing with "The Situation" from Jersy Shore. Truly, thanks. Now the rest of us can all feel a little smarter.
@jstoecker53 I do like Norse Mythology and Folk,Viking,Pagan metal,otherwise i would't be posting here and listening to this song,but saying Viking were heroes and blablabla is manipulating and butchering the truth,and if you reed your reply you will notice that you did't say anything about the Vikings,you can't even support how "men" they are...they never where slaved and won their freedom,they never had to prove something to the world,
@jstoecker53 you need to read history dude...if Persians,Thebans(cause Macedonians where Greek + Romans came at least 400 years after,anyway)would conquer Greece there would be nothing left to talk about.I agree with you that they had(some of them) homosexual relations (even the Alexander the Great),but they survived 700 years developing culture,math,philosophy,etc.being true heroes fighting for their country basically defending their own land,children,homes,they had something to fight about.
@jstoecker53 you ALL miss the point that Vikings were a bunch of lazyfatasses that were invading villages,and killed(most of the time)unarmed people,kids,women,..and they had no battle skills,no honor,they just spread fear and death to the weak..and finally all this happened around 1000-1300a.c..NOW we go back to 400B.C. where Spartans were learning and practicing battle skills,strategy,philosophy.etc.(at the age of 7) and they defended they country,they had honor,they where men,suck on this.fag

please show me where I said that killing was what made vikings manly? I believe the verbage I used was "live gloriously, die well." Did the Vikings kill? ya every society throughout history has, it was the Vikings mentality of not being afraid to die that made them admirable. If you can't tell the difference between killing and willingness to die for a cause then you truly have no concept of morals or ethics and discussing anything further with you is silly. Kinda like arguing with a goat.
@KlausMiester "it was the Vikings mentality of not being afraid to die that made them admirable." die for what reason?cause they where raiding. "willingness to die"...yes willingness to die for pillaging "have no concept of morals or ethics"yes vikings where fighting by surprise and had no morals,they had to cheat the most of the time...anyway I am pretty sure all you know about Norse culture is form that Barbarians - The Vikings 1/5 etc from history channel so you know shit.so stfu already
@Mourtsos I'd be really interested in seeing how you back up your sources. I'm German and Swedish by lineage and I have degrees in both philosophy and anthropology. While I'll admit, my area of specialty is not Viking or Greek culture, both have been a personal interest for some time and I think I've got enough credible info to back up my statements about the complexity of the viking ethical code. Got a great idea, post three links to back up your statement and i'll do the same...
@Mourtsos You obviously do not understand norse mythology, a viking was not afraid of death because he knew that there was a second life awaiting them, where they would serve their gods as soldiers and with victory in battle comes a seat at the table in Asgard. Also, "Deception is the key to winning a war" -Sun Tzu. Suprise is not a low blow, it just shows your oponent's carelessness or your cunning
@Jawarable and that makes them better or more effective warriors?does that make them more men,I suppose?I'm done here...you can bitch how much you want...
@Mourtsos I would try to reason with you and have you understand simple logic, but it is obvious to me that you will not listen to it, i truly do hope that the reason you arn't understanding this is that you are too stupid to get it, because if you really are that stubborn, then i am truly sorry for you
@KlausMiester I am half Greek and half Polish so I know enough about both cultures(no that Polish where vikings but at least I have read books about that shit)I love both cultures...but when I see fucks like you from u.s.a knowing shit about Europe history... tipping this kind of trash it makes me sad..and it makes me really sad to see that most of metalheads are thumbing up this bullshit...so narrow minded...metal is supposed to be opening our eyes not closing them.
@Mourtsos Polish weren't exactly Vikings, The Vikings pertain to the people of Sweden, Norway, and Holland. I agree though, the Vikings weren't admirable because they were fearless, they're admirable because they're beautiful. And I also think eyes should open through metal. However you're not helping when you swear and insult like that.
@Fantasydude14 Polish had nothing to do with vikings I didn't say anything like that...I am done.I don't care what every one cares about history...I'm sure that if Vikings lived when Spartans lived they would have sucked dicks...Spartans didn't use any armor accept a shield and a sword....thats all i have to say..anyone who claims the opposite is just a fool.I love vikings and Norse mythology...but there is no need to say Spartans are school girls wtf?!its trolling without reason...
@Mourtsos sorry I misunderstood your English. but WOAH really? people are saying that about vikings?!? That is soo stupid and I know how you feel. I think it's bad enough when they say Vikings fight Romans...
@Mourtsos you sir are the fool. Do you really think that the Spartans didn't wear armor? Do you know anything about how the Greeks fought? I'll give you a hint... you don't. You're basing you're whole opinion on some Hollywood movie. But hey... ignorance is bliss, right?
@the3rdshoe are you saying to a Greek that he doesn't know shit?i have been studying Odyssey,the Trojan war,the civil war among Athenians and Spartans,the Persian war,the Great Alexander's and etc. life for motherfucking 8 years and before that I had all the Greek mythology back in 2nd,3rd,4th,5th,6th grade.I know fucking everything about that stuff..you SIR,can lick your own dick and suck it till you choke.i am motherfucking done with this,no one can say a shit..cause you all just to ignorant.
@the3rdshoe enjoy the fucking song,and admire ancestors you wish you had,either they are Vikings or Greeks I am not answering to any of this bullshit anymore.Σας γαμιεται η μανα παλιοκαριοληδες.
@Mourtsos dude, real spartens had a shit ton of armor. lamalar and a brass chest plate. and until the deadliest warrior does a match between the two, their equal.
@CarnalFearAZ my only "problem" and cause of anger was that there was an argument about how manly Vikings are compered to Spartans AND BY SPARTAN LAW(just kiddin)...so I said had a different opinion based on real facts...but people are blind...I just wasted my time here trying to prove the truth...every one is obsessed with not changing the way they picture vikings in their minds...I like viking,pagan and medieval stuff,otherwise I wouldn't be there...discussing this...
@Mourtsos dude they were both pretty fuckin intense warriors so why even argue about that lol and most depictions of modern vikings is wrong anyway. i dont understand people
@Mourtsos hold up dont judge all americans because u dont agree with one. i may not know everything about eroupean history but i do know quite a bit ive studied cultures from scandinavian to celtic. i follow asatru and ive been included in several blots and sumbels. how much do u know of other cultures historys besides eroupean? i do agree with you that music is supposed to bridge cultural gaps but bashing americans doesnt prove anything except that you are yourself narrow minded.
@Mourtsos mhmm...... you know you saying that it makes you sick to see people from the US knowing history its like your saying were stupid =_=...makes you look narrow minded judging an entire country of 330 million people. To be honost i dont know what the fuck you being greek and polish has to do with shit since i learn my history from a book not my blood... js (just saying)
@supermattweaver Did you not see how well the person who edited the video blended it with the words in the song? It is all about warrior spirit and a glorious afterlife for actually giving your precious life to a cause that keeps your future kin thrive.
@halabinono : The Spartans were a pure warrior society. They were the rare breed that were both warriors and soldiers. The Spartans take a back seat to no one in the theater of war. Vikings were brutal and effective, but mainly sacked lightly defended targets of easy opportunity. The Spartans were an army of rigid, ironbound discipline that engaged opposing armies on the open field of battle. A viking raid party would have been slaughtered easily and quickly by Spartan defenders had they met.
Damn i am so fucking tired of all this videos about 300 with songs that talk about vikings, first of all IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT VIKINGS DON'T FUCK IT WITH SPARTANS DAMMIT! and second THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF VIDEOS LIKE THIS, AT LEAST BE ORIGINAL? o.O
The best part about this whole video is that Gerard Butler as King Leonidas plays Beowulf in a real version of Beowulf and Grendel, hell you look at half the names in that movie their Icelandic or Norwegian.
@xDBeer4EverxD wrong. vikingmetal is not a genre since the genre ist defined through the music music whilst vikingmetal is only relating to the lyrics. Amon amarth (even according to their own declaration) is "metal". If you want to define further you can say "death" or "melo-death"
@Folkvangr9 it was cheesy as hell...had rediculous and unnecessary characters...animated blood..the narrators character needed to be 70years old because thats how he sounded....the persian giants were stupid....to top it off, it even had to have some douchebag traitor raping the generals wife...i was expecting more of a braveheart kinda deal which was rooted in historical fact, not fantasy with lame sin city bullshit.
@ARNTORXWINDIRX1184 I see, but still the combat was awesome, and ofcourse he needed to sound like a 70 year old, since the oldest people were in the frontlines always in Spartans armies
So you didn't bother to do any research to see that 300 was a Graphic novel by Frank Miller, the same guy who did the Sin City graphic novels? I mean you're sitting at a computer, the information is only a couple clicks away.

I Love Amon Amarth and Nordic mythology, but I also know a bit about classical civilisations, Spartans are the toughest men in history. So whoever says that spartans ''are like little schoolgirls compared to vikings!'' Its just a dumbass.
Vikings were great and resistant warriors too, but Spartans were born to kill, that was the only thing they did -train how to kill. Vikings were warriors but also blacksmiths fishers etc.

Did you just say the spartans were school girls compared to vikings? Spartans are the base of most fighting styles now. They were BORN into battle and from the time they could fight they were. Viking boys didn't use swords till their 15th birthdays. Spartans got their first swords at 7 years old... Both are hardcore in their own rights.

@jstoecker53 the only "Menly" and "Hero" thing about this whole story is the Mythological part where "Vikings" and "Norse" were fighting against beast,monsters,an so on...but the matter is that this is MYTHIC and no truth.anyway.check out the names of the planets,names of the Satelites,Spaceships,blabla..even the music that you hear to is based on Greek pentatonic..but,as a Viking keep your eyes closed and keep on butchering the history and the facts..great song,greater movie,greatest history.

@Mourtsos What about the days Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday coming from the root words Odens' day, Thors' day, and Freys' day? I think that is a pretty profound affect on modern culture. Science uses Greek and latin words primarily because the modern scientific process came from Socratic philosophy. You should evaluate each cultures philosophy Greek: live passionately. Viking: live gloriously, die well. Who's more manly in your opinion? Besides, the best part of BOTH cultures were myths.
KlausMiester 11 months ago
@KlausMiester Viking: live gloriously, die well.=slaughter,rape,pillage...cause thats what mainly happened,the vikings didn't have natural resources,they needed to take it from someone...the only thing you can tell me about viking culture affecting the modern culture are the day's of the week?anyway...I won't compare anymore these 2 cultures.I'm proud to talk about my History,my ancestors,my past.guys like halabinono can only be proud of comments with 6 thumbs up saying bullshit.

@KlausMiester man u r totally wrong. do u consider goring a manly deed? killing without reason is mania not glory. if killing is manly then animals are far more brave than humans.bravery is fighting for a moral cause, following an ethical code of honor.thats manly.crawling through rivers to loot cities an fuck virgins is just cowardly.killing brutally is easy man, thats what butchers do,whats the fucking honor in this?? just re-read the crap u type, goat.

@princeOrestis
dude, chill your sh*t. First of all Viking culture wasn't all about killing, raping, and murdering innocent, nor are the songs that Amon Amarth performs. Take an anthro class or something and you might learn that the norse were an incredible sophisticated civilization that followed an extremely honorable moral and ethical code. Can you even define those words? Living gloriously is more than killing, it is a commitment to exploration, innovation, and pride for great deeds done.

@jstoecker53 you need to read history dude...if Persians,Thebans(cause Macedonians where Greek + Romans came at least 400 years after,anyway)would conquer Greece there would be nothing left to talk about.I agree with you that they had(some of them) homosexual relations (even the Alexander the Great),but they survived 700 years developing culture,math,philosophy,etc.being true heroes fighting for their country basically defending their own land,children,homes,they had something to fight about.

please show me where I said that killing was what made vikings manly? I believe the verbage I used was "live gloriously, die well." Did the Vikings kill? ya every society throughout history has, it was the Vikings mentality of not being afraid to die that made them admirable. If you can't tell the difference between killing and willingness to die for a cause then you truly have no concept of morals or ethics and discussing anything further with you is silly. Kinda like arguing with a goat.

@KlausMiester "it was the Vikings mentality of not being afraid to die that made them admirable." die for what reason?cause they where raiding. "willingness to die"...yes willingness to die for pillaging "have no concept of morals or ethics"yes vikings where fighting by surprise and had no morals,they had to cheat the most of the time...anyway I am pretty sure all you know about Norse culture is form that Barbarians - The Vikings 1/5 etc from history channel so you know shit.so stfu already

While I'll admit, my area of specialty is not Viking or Greek culture, both have been a personal interest for some time and I think I've got enough credible info to back up my statements about the complexity of the viking ethical code. Got a great idea, post three links to back up your statement and i'll do the same...

@Mourtsos You obviously do not understand norse mythology, a viking was not afraid of death because he knew that there was a second life awaiting them, where they would serve their gods as soldiers and with victory in battle comes a seat at the table in Asgard.

@Mourtsos Polish weren't exactly Vikings, The Vikings pertain to the people of Sweden, Norway, and Holland. I agree though, the Vikings weren't admirable because they were fearless, they're admirable because they're beautiful. And I also think eyes should open through metal. However you're not helping when you swear and insult like that.

@halabinono : The Spartans were a pure warrior society. They were the rare breed that were both warriors and soldiers. The Spartans take a back seat to no one in the theater of war. Vikings were brutal and effective, but mainly sacked lightly defended targets of easy opportunity. The Spartans were an army of rigid, ironbound discipline that engaged opposing armies on the open field of battle. A viking raid party would have been slaughtered easily and quickly by Spartan defenders had they met.
