8-bit: Amon Amarth - War of the Gods

[Boptoa]

This is fricking epic! VERY well done 8 Bit version! And Grats on getting it favorited by Amon Amarth's official page!

[Stryker7322]

Gloden Axe, game of my childhood. What I wouldn't give to have my old SEGA back...

[icemasterk]

@yawgmoth43

Sutur used end the world in fire

Frej fainted....



[SuperNewada]

Reminds me of Golden Axe)

[Yawgmoth43]

A wild Surtur appears!

Frej used Horn Strike!

It's super-effective!

[cowcow451]

My new minecraft enderdragon battle theme

[foxcornerstone]

fuck those 18



[tornadoazul]

Golden Axe

[tornadoazul]

Imagine playing GODEL AXE with this soundtrack!! Right in the first stage, it would be epic!!

[ZarchTheMetalGuy5000]

This is awesome!

[Davidnbart10687]

18 people won't be entering into Valhalla

[mlkman2ice]

I gotta go play Castlevania now...

[JoNnYShizzle]

Quite possibly the most bad ass album cover anyone could ever come up with.

[badman80]

dont sale out i love u!!

[Physhi]

Hey, applecore -- Do you still have the original mod, or whatever format you used to create this? I'd like the original if you don't mind.

[SadestSacrilage]

240p for full effect

[prayersofanathema]

@SadestSacrilage definitely

[wildclaw]

I want that chorus as my ringtone!

[NOCODESSS]

music is music, if its well written, played any way!!

[FixxxeR208]

the 8 bit way of a song is a very easy and good way to learn a song.

[pdedinski]

Awesome !

It sounds like a MIDI music rather than a true 8-bit, but it still kicks ass :)

[foxtrot5588]

this is what would play if mario did crack and then beat the shit out of turtles

[Javelin09]

Furious 8-bit vengeance shall be mine!! >:V

[MrDoommen]

@Javelin09 oh relly i shall live on and YOU SHALL DIE WUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA FO I AM 16-BIT! >:T (jk .... or am i? .3.)

[Zabamat]

First time I've ever head banged to a song that sounds like it came out of Mario. XD

[samuraibambi]

skyrim on mute and play this instead :DD

[ownedalistar]

The pixelated album cover would have added to the awesomeness :D

[Blood2Letter]

@ownedalistar just whatch it in 240p

[SuperRussia666]

Headbanging (in 8-bit).

[channeldewillie]

thats like metals in 1987 right there

[metalNbeer84]

Haha AWEEEESOMMEEEE!!

[Lothas1337]

Listen to in 240p for most 8-bit metal epicness!

[Reichenfaust099]

@Lothas1337 Holy shit your right!

[mrreiska]

@Lothas1337

first time i actually want to change it to 240p :D

[TZKGuy]

I just grew an 8-Bit Beard in 4:26

[Williamren1]

Amon amarths official channel favorited this

[ChanmailleMan]

@Williamren1 Holy shit you're right!

[FunkfulPurple]

like it *-*

[Drugsonwar420]

golden axe LMAFO....  might have to knock the dust outta the genesis and give it a go. after a few bong rips that is \m/

[metalfreakzz]

Endboss. Giant wiking !

[bizzarrohawk]

Golden axe + Dwarf + This song = FUCKING EPIC!

[TheGeneralHimself92]

The Ancients felt deceived

Sephiroth was a fool

Without Hojo at his side

Sephiroth could not rule

In a fit of violent rage

Hojo's blood was shed

And to Shinra's court they sent

Hojo's severed head!

[planelovingbastard]

I played this while on a public server on Minecraft

They're all dead now...

[aingeruzkur]

I'm gonna buy a Sega Genesis, and Golden Axe. And listen to this jam over and over again while I play. \m/

[1oODeathAngelOo1]

xD Zelda vs Mario

[dragongame2]

amon amarth nes: choose a god, go on quest to win the war of the gods

play as Thor and command 1000 vikkings to fight against the army of Odin and frey.

lead your army to victory or death....

[Fuk99999]

@dragongame2 lol?! Try leading against the mighty surt

[dragongame2]

@Fuk99999 that is the endboss

[Fuk99999]

@dragongame2 agreed

[Soulabliteration]

i love listening to 8-bit songs for drums. it helps break down the drums for technical parts. you can actually hear the difference in cymbals and shit. which is awesome.

[teenpita]

Play doom to this. Grow a real dick.

[Maxeloth]

The Legend Of Johan: A Viking To The Past

[magichamp]

@Maxeloth

You know that "link" is not referring to the character, but the "connection". So that doesn't really make any sense.

/Kiss

[Maxeloth]

@magichamp

Jep, you're right. Thanks :D

[user29639]

i cant believe amon amarths chanel liked this guys fuckin video!!! amazing!!!

[skyii123]

@user29639 Realy?? THATS AWSOME MAN

[kirkhammet511]

@user29639 Something like that dosent suprise me if they did so. In one of the remastered albums linear notes they claimed that the down time between recording was filled with excessive drinking and video game. I know if I was in a band with a dedicated enough fanbase for someone to do 8-bit versions of my songs Id watch every one of them lol

[GSImproved90]

Fucking Brootall

[BMNicolas]

In a sea of violent rage, Bieber's blood was shed when to odin's court they sent Bieber's severed head.

[danielmunafo]

8 BIT! ROCK! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHRRRRR!

[PsychoKittyNet]

I love 8-Bit games, I love Amon Amarth, its'like I've died and gone to Valhall....

[TholunMetal]

Still headbaning!

[SuperNotNoob]

This should be the new Mario song.... :D

[juleandendk]

is it taken from inspector gadget? omg

[crimsontowers]

I can see Surt as the final boss in a sick ass game of the myths, it'd be perfect- scale a clay pants-pissing clay giant, play the minigames in Utgard (booze-chugging, granny wrestling) rigged to lose, have a party of Odin the mage & Thor the warrior..although they get removed in the last area when you fight Fenris & Jormugandr, battle the Vanir and receive Mimir's head quest item that boosts Odins mana, along with his Remove Eye special level up, & Rune powers (falling into the abyss required)

[mountainboardmania]

1 M0:00RE 8-BIT TIME!!!!!!!!!!!

[lalaluPINGUIN]

sounds like from super mario^^

[ultimatemetalfreak]

There seems to be a lot of Vulcans listening to the 8-bit version. Logic this and logic that. Live long and prosper in Valhalla.

[physchohead24]

The Super Mario felt deceived

Mario was a fool

Without Luigi at his side

Mario could not rule

In a fit of vilolent rage,

Luigi's blood was shed

And to Bowser's court they sent

Luigi's severed head!

[Fuk99999]

@physchohead24 HAHA! Good one

[evolooshion]

@physchohead24 It's Zelda. Not Mario. Zelda. >:( :D

[MarxistBrutalMatt]

@physchohead24

Bowser took the head, and anointed it with herbs which prevents it from rotting he sang his magic songs over it so that Luigi be able to speak to him

[gheale]

@physchohead24 wasnt it super mario failed to see?

[physchohead24]

@gheale Nope

[x7VenGeaNcE7x]

@physchohead24 hahahaha you amde me laugh there bro :] well done!

[pungrmn]

@physchohead24 love it.

[johnnyrckt]

@physchohead24 Doesn't make sense.

[WooZIE997]

@johnnyrckt its a little switch up of the lyrics to the song ;)

[ffchack]

haha this is amazingly good and hilarious \m/

[applexxcore]

@blasphemator i didn't just direct it at him, it was more anybody reading the comments. i just posted seeing that the conversation was about how people are or aren't "metal", so i just gave in my two cents.

plus trolls ignore logic anyways

[deathprone666]

wtf who is bitching about this even amon amarth likes it and i dont see how u could hate this it sounds badass its like a cross of final fantasy and deathmetal i cant listen to it enough

[myztklk3v]

this shits awesome. there should be more 8-bit remakes out there. brings me back to my childhood.

[darkslayerist]

This is the most brutal 8-bit song i have ever heard!

[VyvyanJMS]

This is horrible, the person creating this shit is a hundred times worse human than Anders (the norweigan murderer)

I hope you get aids you littlecockfaggot. Also, anyone who likes this is not even alittle Metal.

[Carbonunit357]

@VyvyanJMS You're probably just a troll, but you are aware that Amon Amarth themselves favorited this video?

[Ijbran]

@VyvyanJMS u mad bro?

[shuttsworth]

@VyvyanJMS lol you fucking tard, you need a sense of humour, the way your goin your gonna end up like fucking anders, sitting in your bedroom hating the world!

[TheSesquipedalianist]

@VyvyanJMS

Are you trying to make it a point that you are any more metal?

Check your own profile and your favourited videos.

We have some Jeff Buckley, some Cee Lo Green, and Something regarding the show "My Little Pony", which, whether its intended to be comical or not, is not anything you should be proud to be associated with.

So stop being hypocritical because anyone truly "Metal" knows that being hypocritical is "not metal", and if you dont like it, leave and dont look back.

[applexxcore]

@TheSesquipedalianist now now fellas. metal is not a popularity contest, or a necessity to identify with metal in the most 100% way possible. in saying that, Jeff Buckley is an amazing vocalist (R.I.P), and Cee Lo's pretty cool. hell... i have the least metal username possible. who fuckin cares! listen to what you like!

[applexxcore]

@applexxcore just... no bronies.

[TheSesquipedalianist]

@applexxcore

I completely agree with you.

I got friends that listen to all sorts of music.

My best friend listens to Tupac and Lil' Wayne.

I wasn't trying to insult the content on his list (cept for maybe that My Little Pony xP), but I just find it irritating when people bash on others for liking things they dont personally like. Not that I want to stand up for others, I just think it's ignorant when someone doesn't like someone and goes to insult everyone that does.

[applexxcore]

@TheSesquipedalianist it's cool to not like an artist out of personal preference, like I personally believe that Lil' Wayne is overhyped and isn't as great a rapper than most underground, old-school hip-hop/rap artists. but to pigeonhole yourself into one entire genre is just absolutely pointless, and stupid.

[TheSesquipedalianist]

@TheSesquipedalianist Mistake on my part. That should say "When someone doesnt like someTHING and goes to insult everyone that does."

[John5xxo12345]

metal and techno are the best genres in the world same with rock & roll

[DaD3athShaman]

Epic Pokemon Battle Music!!!!!!

[falcothunder]

Sounds like the intro the Power Rangers for the Sega Genesis lol Well to me anyways...

[PosineosOfSparta]

this would be good in rambo NES game

[gergo093]

Disco Amarth :D

[poorcolossus]

This would be the music that plays if Skyrim was released 20 years ago.

[TheMetalicwolf]

Not to burst any bubble here, but 8 bit only have 4 channels. 2 squares, one triangle and one DPCM. If you want a chord, you have to use both the squares, this technically don't work. But it is an awesome render though.

[ItsAllBaroque]

@TheMetalicwolf While originally it was that way, 8-bit tends to be an synonym for chiptunes these days. It's more faux-8 bit. But.. it works.

[pwb712]

@TheMetalicwolf Depends entirely on the 8-bit micro in question, doesn't it? I know at least one system that had 3 sine waves channels and one noise channel with a variable band-pass. Saying "8-bit only this" or "8-bit only that" is like saying the Z80A was the only 8-bit CPU, surely.

[TheMetalicwolf]

@pwb712 Did I said it was every chipsets? No.

I'm only referring to the most known chipset that people knows as "NES music" or something like it.

[aeaon]

Ultra epic. Great Job man!

[TheHeretic333]

@aeaon Press start: flow down the great fire mountain, and slay Surtur.

[flairphantem]

I feel like I'm at a "Press Start" Menu.

[tarikay93]

A wild Surtr appears!

[pontus515]

@tarikay93 Hägg is using BERSERKER RAGE! It's super effective!

[phdotsco]

this is op

[VDragon54]

You must be chuck norris, no one else could make such a epic thing.

[carnagemaster20]

this is to fucking epic!!!!!! this should be the boss theam for every boss fight in all games from now on

[applexxcore]

@serveroftheservant cool story bro

[SadestSacrilage]

watch in 240p for classic mode

[Romaniozi]

cool!

[halabinono]

I am making a viking themed battle game on java for my grade 12 final project in programming

is it okay if I use this as ingame music? XD

awesome song!

[ugotpwnzored]

@halabinono I did almost the same thing. I made a game with my friends in our programming class and made some of my favorite bands into 8 bit for it. Ensiferum translates well.

[spartenofpie]

the gods of 8-bit shine apon this song \m/

[Vendetta2757]

[dragoonjove]

I'm about to cry how epic this is, but no, we must be strong and raid and pillage!

[Tyilanmenyn]

@dragoonjove It's okay, theyre tears of manliness

[chickenbuttlolhaha]

2:11.... awesome

[MovingTarget85]

I have the sudden urge to dress in furs and raid the 8-bit English countryside.

[Mailrobot]

anyway to mix the vocals of the song in there? haha that would be hilarious

[WarhammerFan44]

We need Destroyer of the Universe 8-bit! Unless its already out? :D

[Krustburger]

big boss theme.

[Therolando]

I just grew a 8-bit beard!

[Krustburger]

There needs to be an epic minecraft battle or something to this 8 bit song. It would make it 20x more epic. THIS IS AWESOME!

[IskandarSams]

[zapbolt]

[carnagemaster20]

[archaosy]

I dont know why.. but I wanna play Double Dragon now....

[Fleischliha]

The 2 ppl who dislike this should be cast to the abyss!

[HaikBoyadjian2]

from 2:11 to 2:56 was pure genius. you mind as well say the whole song was amazing. whoever doesnt like this song should go sit in corner and tell them selves "im stupid and ram my head repeatedly in the wall."

[MetalheadPiper]

I feel like crossing a Rainbow Bridge in the Rainbow road level in Mario Kart 64 to this would be almost too much awesome to handle

[2012Ascenscion]

8-bit Odin throws his 8-bit spear!! YYYYAAAAAAHHHHH!!!

[funkyexperience]

This sounds like it should be catapulted back in time to be the theme song of every awesome retro game ever released...

[Utanman90]

Just Epic. Best 8-bit cover ever....



[thespartanIII]

Epic. Win.

[mustdieproductions]

Odin is having an orgasm right now. You've made the god's proud. :D

[mattman30000]
