Amon Amarth - Gods of War Arise

[Crazyrueb]

best band ever

[Chris8nin]

The Crusades were launched because people of the world who made a pilgrimage to the holy sites were being robbed, raped and murdered by Arabs for decades. In order to protect the pilgrims and the sites themselves, a Crusade was ordered. Look it up. It's not often taught in school but that is what the real world history books say.

[ufotruth100]

@Chris8nin liberals don't care if they could they would rob, rape and murder the christians of today

[leoholsbach]

@Chris8nin That was just the story they (possibly) came up with to justify the invasion and taking of those lands they (we) call holy.

[Sleiren]

OLAF!!!!!

[AnimusLiber69]

ORGASM!!! OOOOOHHHH ITS MULTIPLE ORGASM!!!!

[Digitalwtf]

it's new year's eve, and i'm listening to Amon Amarth, AND IT'S FUCKING WORTH IT!!!!

[gerderman107]

loling @ cocks of war arise

[Skino473]

Cocks of gods of war arise

[strahinje]

well, i am an orthodox christian. We are not the same as *christians* as everybody knows them. We can have wives and children. We are not insane like catholics. Fuck the pope and their greed.

[TheRisingDown]

"Darkness flees the rising sun, the village lies ahead, it will wake to a new day soon, soon they'll all be dead" Fucking. Epic.

[SieTeppischfresser]

You know it's a good song when I, a christian, likes it even though it's about killing people of my faith

[conan5567]

@SieTeppischfresser It means you are not as closed minded as most :D

[xbox360ftw123]

@SieTeppischfresser Ahhh.... Why can't more Christians be like you? I left Christianity because young Christians my age couldn't stop being those little assholes that compose our generation, they contradict all their teachings and their God's commandments, and then enforce them on people who are different.

[METAL4TheWORLD666]

@xbox360ftw123 Lmao. There was a girl in my history class last year who wanted to move her seat away from me because I repeatedly proved her wrong about her own religion

[FLAW7eSS]

@METAL4TheWORLD666 lmao. I fucki*g love donig that 2 people

[Raicun27]

@SieTeppischfresser Agreed! It's the insanity that's going on with the guitar that keeps brining me back.

[skyii123]

@SieTeppischfresser LOL good job! :D

[Eeken90gQ]

@SieTeppischfresser Well in the ends it's just music. It's about meaning and feeling, and I think this song delivers plenty of it.

[starboyz16]

@SieTeppischfresser ^

[conan5567]

the first time i heard this i thought he was saying "sacrifice to constapole" i was like who the fuck is constapole lol

[mandarkLovesDeDee]

@xxx1570 that guy on horse is Odin -.-''

[mandarkLovesDeDee]

@xxx1570 that guy on horse is Odin -.-''

[oberstul]

The lyrics are beautiful! I love Amon Amarth!

[ThomasIdol]

This is my entrance music! I bring the metal in wrestling!

facebook search Thomas Idol. Any metal and wrestling fans "like" Thomas Idol. Sounds like Homicidal!

[geelkapje64]

[HaldirCZ]

all those poseur comments here make me sick...nonetheless Amon Amarth is really admirable band. True textbook of norse mythology and history as well as amazing metal band at the same time. And this album is imho the best of their shits.

[NYMPHETAMINE1236]

@johnj5530 nah his sword

[RussianStuntmen]

I want this album nauw

[bizzarrohawk]

I prefer to fight for my gods instead of hiding behind them like those christians....

[Ripouli]

@bizzarrohawk *cough* crusade *cough*

[AudioDrugFix]

@Ripouli "Christians" may have fought for "freedom" but in all honesty they serve a religion of slavery and rape of other cultures while serving a man in a funny hat who decides what is right and wrong for the masses.

[MrCorpseslaughter]

@AudioDrugFix that's just Catholics, i believe in God and Jesus but don't go to church because churches have become corrupted and like you said enslave and rape other cultures. 

[AudioDrugFix]

@MrCorpseslaughter Then I have nothing but respect for you. Keep that mindset and remember that religion is about self enlightenment and prosperity for future generations.  I wish you a happy Yule, brother.

[Ripouli]

@AudioDrugFix there are hardly any religions who didnt fight. i dont know all religions, but buddhism for example comes to mind. but ... thats almost all

[pizzacastello]

The melody here is so ingenious and sexy together..

[Dave73600]

WOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! raping churches an burning women YEAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!

[doomfrost7]

@Dave73600 how does one rape a church? id like to try it!

[Kitsune7Kyuubi]

@doomfrost7 An ice giant from the northen territories would do this easily...

[omologo95]

@doomfrost7 It was irony, obviously. RAPE CHURCHES and BURNING WOMEN. I don't think the guy was completely sober when he put this down.

[doomfrost7]

@omologo95 thanks for the clarification, although i was joking aswell and already understood his stupid irony ;)

[omologo95]

@doomfrost7 You're welcome ^.^ Yeah, it was pretty retarded and not really funny, but whatever. It got top-comments.

[zonker400]

@omologo95 Whatever, I suppose when you get older or at least care about history you'll find the lyrics to be terribly accurate... you're talking about one of the peoples famous for rape, pillage and plunder...

[omologo95]

@zonker400 ...Dude. Seriously. I have history as my most beloved hobby. I absolutely care about history. And while they were pillaging and plundering "all the time", tell me. Who didn't do so when they got a chance? The Mesopotamians began in early times to push other states down to make sure they became vassals by plundering them all too often, which in the end led to Gilgamesh's fall. The Trojans kept the Greeks down, which eventually led to its fall. The Romans... you know that, I hope.

[omologo95]

@omologo95 Early Britain was dominatd by Germanic populations due to the wanderings, and they weren't best buds with the natives. After the Vikings went down, shall I point towards the Middle-East during the Crusades. What did those Crusaders do? Plunder, rape and pillage. Right?

While it is true that the Vikings are famous for such, does it necessarily mean that it is 100% true? And does it mean that any of the facts, commonly accepted, are true? I don't know, but I have this hobby for that

[omologo95]

@omologo95 reason.

[Boptoa]

@Dave73600 Um . . . . didn't. . .. yah, ok, nevermind, you just keep doing your thing man.

[KingDovey]

awesome!!!!! GODS OF WAR ARISE!!!!!

[xXmetalcoreskaterXx]

Hail Tyr!! \m/

[TankManHeavy]

[Ryanlp100]

Aman Amarth is fucking Amazing.....Marvellous..!

[TheRevScare]

Damn it, Youtube, why do you even have to ask me to press the replay button?

[bitchniggerization]

[Razor95321]

Swedish Metal Bands!!!!

[Metalkind1]

[JohanB07]

Great song and great album, love it :-)

[flawmore]

2011 09 27 klockan 02;12. Kära dagbok. Jag ska jobba imorgon men äter risgrynsgröt vid datorn och lyssnar på metal istället för att sova.

[Tiberioxid]

@flawmore näh! köttbullar med potatis å kebab e bäst! + porr och in flames

[MrCorpseslaughter]

@xxx1570 its actually a picture of Odin entering Valhalla with a drinking horn in hand and a sword on his side

[Sickdust]

Green Lightsabers FTW

[chicorardot]

WHY THE FUCK IM BORN IN 1971... WHY IM NOT COMIN FROM THE VICKING ERA & HAD THE POWER TO CONTROL A VICKING SHIP & MAKE WAR SEA TO SEA... AMON AMARTH............. ALL THE WAY...

[cacon56]

@chicorardot back then you would of had to listen to flutes and bongos, thier wasnt amon amarth to enter into battle, you entered battle to flutes and bongos, maybe a huge bass drum or some hollowed out logs or somthing lol

[chicorardot]

@cacon56 HAHAHAHAHA Llooooooooooolll your a funny guy... i like VICKING history... c-ya bros...

[cacon56]

@chicorardot xD lol

[TheRhonx]

@cacon56 Wait....what? You think the vikings used bongos?

[Minijupepowa]

@chicorardot I'm born in 1992.. X D dude, amon amarth's best fucking band ever !



[alexanduhDanziggg]

@chicorardot i suppose you're unemployed and living with your parents

[RATH86]

@chicorardot Have Faith in the gods of the North.True story

[RATH86]

@chicorardot Have Faith in the gods of the North.True story

[ufotruth100]

@chicorardot I don't think being a Viking was very fun it probably was a hard life and they probably didn't live very long. I myself am content to live in the 21st century playing a viking on an on line MMO

[GNARNIAKILLER]

@chicorardot Viking*

[chicorardot]

@GNARNIAKILLER Thank You Teacher.

[C457120]

@chicorardot The time is now

[wrylie188]

@chicorardot Hehehehehe, "vicking"

[HerveGamerDude]

@chicorardot well they had epic viking adventurs back then, but we have metal now

[ToadsMGodes]

@chicorardot its actually spelled Viking* .. I feel you dude, I would have loved to live in Viking times, its a hard but glorious life

[Minijupepowa]

@chicorardot Because if you were born in that time, you wouldnt know amon amarth :O



[SKULLEDBUICK]

This song reminds me ov death in fire, cut in half.

[jek3zea]

where the fuck are the tabs for this jeez

[ScottyBoiy]

Anyone going to the show in Calgary tomorrow?

[jwtaylor1898]

Sacrifice to gods of old*

Bleed them of their lives*

Hear their terror screams*

Rest is accurate :)

[Polishmetalhead969]

21 people did not die with dignity

[Theseus1000]

@GrandSpiritDesign Nonsense those are my favorite comments, they are funny quite often. Anywa its 10 times better than morons arguing about stuff not related to video over 10-20 pages.

Cheers

[TheBigsam5000]

21 People didn't return to thier Ships

[xxxdeathroxxx]

I wish they had this kind of music in an elevator

[MtHyjal]

@xxxdeathroxxx I know right.

[xxxdeathroxxx]

@MtHyjal Yeah I would ride elevators all day for this kind of music xD

[COREY1435]

My album doesnt have a boner :(

[dauntSilver]

1,392 people have had their erectile dysfunction cured by this song

[CyanideCrusifix2]

lol Oden has a boner.

[legionthantos]

@GrandSpiritDesign Funny thing is, if anyone mentions that they tend to get top rated comment.

Thus what you said can be Ironic should such a thing occur.

[CarstenK88]

sehr geile Band.....Wikinger vorran

[Narop20]

The Guitar is so awesome, like the Band! :)

[xXPureMetalXx]

the lyrics from The Dragon's Flight Across the Waves, Gods of War Arise and Under the Northern Star, when put together in that order, creates a story.

[Midgard33]

Yes the both are acceptable. You can read Loki, or Lopt too. But this is the same.

[gwm666]

Some spell it Oden, some Odin. Are both acceptable?

[thefallenone95]

@gwm666 Yep. Odin has a lot of names :) as almost every single god out there posses more than one name, like Zeus and Jupiter 

[P1zzaSH4RK]

@thefallenone95 Makes proselytizing easier when you're essentially just taking the same dates and holidays and turning them into holidays for the same guy, just with a different name and altered, religion-friendly backstory.

[Gloriusful]

@gwm666 Oden is the right name,swedish name.

[GeneralCalculus]

@gwm666 Yes. Also are Wotan, Wodan, Woden, Oden and Óðinn

[aScekun1]

I THINK IT'S PURSUIT OF VIKINGS

So many hate posts here, This kind of music should unite all the metalheads as one

[LukyRemington]

society only knows what the Romans told them. the Vikings inspired fear in their Roman enemies. that is why they are depicted the way they are. cause that's the only way the Romans knew them, in battle. World History is now taught from the Roman point of view, which i hate.

[jessiercase]

I usually don't listen to this kind of music, but I thought it was really good :D

[sweetakagabriel2]

@jessiercase gtfo

[TheDisfigured]

I always thought this song's concept and tone was so funny- the song's melody is so dramatic, like there was actually a chance that they might not win against a bunch of unarmed villagers. On a seperate note, it's sad that geeks and internet losers latch on to Norse mythology and actually made vikings less imposing. Good job morons. I'm gonna go bitch somewhere else on the internet now.

[ajw971]

@TheDisfigured Shut the hell up us vikings where not mindless pillagers we did not go around killing innocence for no reason I'm a pure blood Scandinavian and not a geek or internet loser so you should be careful with your words and learn not to bitch about what you know nothing about

[TheDisfigured]

@ajw971 Take your own advice ass fucker and read up on Vikings. Second, I was talking about the pathetic bastardized fantasy culture that has become Viking Mythology/History. Most morons don't even bother to learn about Vikings (like you) before they think they know everything about them, or think that they're cool. I don't know everything, but at least I actually care about their history and what modern cutlure is turning them into. With that said, go fuck your mother at the foot of Yggdrasil.

[ajw971]

@TheDisfigured you run your mouth throw much slander at the vikings we fought for out people and our gods and when u pissed us off we split your god damn spine and ripped your lungs out your back and i do care about their history considering i had ancestors that where vikings obviously you need to take your so called history you have learned and blow it out your ass because it was false we where not mindless pillagers so to you mr troll go fuck yourself

[TheDisfigured]

@ajw971 So...I'm a troll because I disagree with what you're saying and I am calling you misinformed (which you are). Jesus bro, believe what you want. I NEVER said what religion I was affiliated with. I'd tell you to read up on Viking culture and history, but you probably can't fuckin' read. I could try and defend myself, and present intelligent arguments, but...that really wouldn't get us anywhere, would it? Do yourself a favor and stop typing.

[chicorardot]

better then six feet under musically and vocaly.... their music are more rich and give me chill.....

[NicolesSlave4Ever]

Just so the lyrics at the beginning of the song are clear: Darkness flees the rising sun The village lies ahead It will wake to a new day soon Soon they'll all be dead We came in cover of moonless night Fifty men at arms Now at first morning light The church bell sounds the alarm Sacrifice to Gods of old Bleed them of their lives Fresh blood on our swords Gods of war arise Sacrifice to Gods of old Bleed them of their lives Fresh blood on our swords Gods of war arise

[tiveqcriarcontanova]

[MrKALISHNIK0V47]

19 people thought that thing coming out of the lady on the horse kinda looks like a penis

[bitWolfy]

@MrKALISHNIK0V47 are you sure that this is a lady? Not that I am a specialist in Norse mythology, but I am pretty sure that this is Odin riding on Sleipnir.

Wikipedia approves.

[MrKALISHNIK0V47]

@bitWolfy oh thats interesting i just kind of supposed due to the slim profile ya know? i supposed Odin would be alittle more you know. .ripped

[bitWolfy]

@MrKALISHNIK0V47 Well, yeah, the image does look a little weird. However, I am pretty sure that this penis-looking thing is the hilt of the sword.

What's that thing below the horse is another question, not to mention the interesting number of its legs.

[apain1995]

@bitWolfy Sleipnir has a lot of legs. <<

[qwerty123412341000]

@bitWolfy Sleipner is an 8 legged horse...

[bitWolfy]

@qwerty123412341000 I told you, I am not an expert in Norse mythology. Now I know.

After consulting with Wikipedia, I found out that Sleipnir is the child of Loki (a god) and Svaðilfari (a horse).

Both are male.

I don't want to know how THAT happened. No wonder, it has eight legs.

[caramon770]

@bitWolfy Loki actually took the form of a mare to distract Svalifari because the horse was working for a giant and the gods had a bet that the giant would not finish the project that he was working on.

[YisGoodman]

19 people tried to seek shelter in the church

[josapology]

stop with that mainstream shit ! if it's metal and you like it ,listen to it.

i'm tired of people being so dumb.

AA one of the greatest bands ever!

[NOodleFISH72]

@josapology Yeah fuckin metal hipsters "Di'Anno is better than Dickinson because Dickinson was too mainstream" I was seriously told that by some kid.

[josapology]

@NOodleFISH72 LOL!! i would have killed that fucker!!

[TrudeauAj]

@NOodleFISH72 Hipsters = shit.

[Reamblished]

i like this, metallica is too mainstream

[synchroflip123]

@Reamblished sadly amon amarth is becoming mainstream =[

[godofmajora]

This music makes me regain faith in humanity.

[666CthulhuIsMyBitch]

@godofmajora A song about slaughtering and enslaving innocent people makes you regain faith in humanity?

[godofmajora]

@666CthulhuIsMyBitch No the fact that there is a band that has enough balls to make a song like this.

Fuck off if you have a problem with it.

[RattleheadAnthony]

@666CthulhuIsMyBitch xD

[holythunder1]

@666CthulhuIsMyBitch theres nothing better than a bit of slaughtering and enslaving to make you feel good about your race lol

[The666steely]

They will never Surpass, this Album. Kicks Ass. They need to try, tho. SURTUR RISING, is no where near, as good. Once through the Golden Hall, Avenger and With Odin, on our side, are the best Albums, the rest a weak efforts.

[victor122982]

\m/ Aug 26th in Houston, TX!! I know I'm going!

[UTGoat666]

Goddamn, I love this song!

[theralamadam]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODIIIIIIIII­IIIIIIIIIIN!!!!!!!!!!

[krikerkraker]

Why is Odin spelt that way? Just discovered this band. As awesome as In flames :D

[Carsu12]

@krikerkraker its swedish spelation xD

[Carsu12]

@krikerkraker its just Swedish spellation. in Poland it's Odyn for example xD

[warpig089]

this album was so fucking good it gave the guy on the album cover a hard on!!!

[EraOfBloodtv]

@warpig089 Lol it's a sword hilt. But ya rofl +1

[EraOfBloodtv]

@warpig089 Lol it's a sword hilt, and the guy is Odin on Sleipner the 8 legged horse. Lol but ya hilarious :P

[MMBMFilms]

The best. Simple.



[DiabolicDominion]

I can not count how many times i had listen to this song....and the riff and the chorus is still the most epic thing i've ever heard.....

[dangerousdynamite]

This song makes me want to go out and plunder.

[YugSoth]

@think19090 no way. gods of old would sound way better and be entirely more fitting of viking tradition. since, well, this isn't christianity we're talking about here and nowhere in norse religion is there mentioned a city in the sky. so why are the gods above? and it would only make sense that it be gods of old, because back in the day thats how it would have been worded and we're talking about beings who were "the great old ones" who fathered mankind.. but think what you'd like.

[VerteMarton]

Free them this isn't Freedom?
