they might hail the vikings and/or the norse man, but that does not make them a VIKING band. really. listen to the riffs, chords and the singing, and then listen to "TYR"(a real pagan-band.) and then go complaining about amon amarth.
(btw, for those who are looking for TYR, search for "hold the heathen hammer high"
LMAO!! Great video, dude! I love Amon Amarth to death, but this vid had me laughing out loud the whole time. xD Also, who gives a shit if it's Viking Metal or not? Like, really? If Amon Amarth read these comments of you guys arguing about what genre they are, they'd be very disappoint. Flame me /try to troll all you want, I will not respond to any responses to my comment. Hail Odin. \m/
guys honestly, WHO THE FUCK GIVES A SHIT IF THEY ARE VIKING METAL OR MELODIC DEATH METAL WITH VIKING LYRICS? THEY MAKE FUCKING AWSOME MUSIC, THATS THE ONLY THING THAT COUNTS! so, hail odin! \m/
and btw Amon Amarth arent viking metal -they're melodic death metal only use viking lyrics =]. tbh theres no such thing as viking metal - its all death metal with viking lyrics =]
That is what their singer Johann Hegg says about their genre and I think he knows best: "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."
Olavi Mikkonen said: "We never had to say we were Viking Metal. What is Viking Metal actually? Was there electricity to use guitars in the past? We are nothing more than a fucking Death Metal band and maybe our lyrics are a little more about the past but nothing more."
I translated this quote from german to English and so there is not every word like he said but I left the meaning like he meant it
So I think you are no Amon Amarth fan if you don't know what the band itself says about its genre
I would call Amon Amarth Viking Metal because in alot of their songs they talk about Norse Mythology and how the Norse people lived. First off in the song Asator they sing about the God of thunder and lightning Thor
"Amon is melodic death metal, stop calling it viking metal. Viking metal is more like black metal, and this is far from it."
That's not true. Viking metal can be any kind of metal but the text must be about Norse mithology and the way of their life. There are plenty of Viking metal bands who play Death/Gothic/Heavy/Etc not only Black metal. ^^
No, viking metal is often in the form of black or death metal with strong folk and power metal influences, namely a galloping pace and often keyboard.
I would hardly call Amon Amarth folk metal.
Viking metal would be bands like Ensiferum, Vintersorg, Turisas, Tyr, the founder Bathory ect.
Amon Amarth is unlike all of them, save for the epic approach to their music and, obviously, the norse themes. They are melodic death metal. The term viking metal is too loosely applied, and thus the confusion.
Hahahah! I laughed my ass off with the misheard lyrics, great video.
But man, Johan is not unintelligible as you say in the description. He's one of the few death metal vocalists that I can actually understand without having to search for the lyrics.
Dudes, Amon Amarth are not viking... Parcially. Musically, they are Death Metal (A bit melodic), but in lyrics they are Viking, but... What the fuck cares that? They are one of the best actual bands and I'll go to a concert of them in two months =D
Get out troll, you just had to throw in the "singing" comment to really hammer home what a fuckwad you are. Viking themes my ass, that's like saying Lord of the Rings is a "drama with fantasy themes". though thanks for the other groups, finntroll is the only one out of those you listed that i'd heard, and i like them a lot.
Troll? Amon Amarth is probably my single favorite band. But they are not viking metal. Viking metal is usually a folkish/power metal deviation of black metal. That's all I'm trying to get across.
And it's good Johan doesn't sing... else this wouldn't be death metal.
Most metalheads take categorization WAY too seriously! I think we've put ourselves into a situation where there are too many subgenres fighting to be distinct, when it's clear that most of them actually influence each other.
Take black metal. There's a dozen types, and fans are fighting over sub-sub-subgenres. I've stopped caring about it ten years ago. Made my life easier!
Whatever, but this isn't viking metal, viking metal is more melodic with singing and no screaming, with undistorded (clean) guitars at times. Listen to Bathory's "Blood Fire Death" and that is what viking metal actually is.
And I'm sorry I take categorization too seriously. I just dislike it when people get the wrong subgenre confused with others, thats all.
damn Amon Amarth really kick ass live
