Ragnarok is the twilight of the Norse gods. Its inception is when Loki brings about the death of Baldur, the youngest of Odin's son. What follows is the darkening and loss of hope all through the nine realms. Mankind falls into depravity and war. The interesting thing is that all the gods know their fate to some degree. Thor is fated to fight the Jormungandr, the World Serpent. He does defeat the serpent, but he is bitten and dies of the venom. Odin is killed by the Fenris Wolf, who has by then eaten the sun, as well. Surtur, the king of Fire Giants, sails the ship Naglfar, made of dead man's nails, from Muspelheim. Basically the whole pantheon of gods die, as to almost all humans on Midgard. The world is destroyed and reborn anew. This is all a really high level overview, and I didn't look at the mythology to check every fact. This is the basic idea, though. Hope it helps.
this. check out "Death In Fire" from the Versus The World album, for a breakdown of everything that happens during Ragnarok.
Kratos really fucked up xD
Correct all the main gods and goddesses die with the exception of Fryea. The younger gods will survive such as Vidar who rips Fenris apart with his bare hands as revenge for killing his father Odin. Thor's sons Modi and Magni and some of the lesser goddesses such as Eir will survive to rebuild. As a follower of Asatru I believe Ragnarok is cyclical. It happens constantly birth, death, rebirth. I don't take it literal but everybody has their own interpretation and opinions on it.
But thank you for explaining it much more eloquently then I could have 👍🏻
Surtr doesn't actually sail on Naglfari, it's steered by the giant Hrym. I might be remembering this wrong, but I think Surtr makes his entrance by cutting a hole in the sky for him and his followers to jump through (he definitely sets sky on fire after Ragnarok, though).
Ogier the Dane correct its then that he faces and kills Frey after he makes his entrance
Johan from Amon Amarth is quite a historical scholar about Norse Mythology, and most of their songs are about this stuff. Both true historical events and battles of gods and monsters. He might actually speak to you, as he seems to be keen to discuss all this stuff. Amon Amarth means "Mount Doom" in the Black Speech of Lord of the Rings (essentially).
Johan also has a company called Grimfrost that has published books on Norse mythology and stories in addition to selling Viking merchandise.
grimfrost.com/
its pretty expensive tho :D
Not the Black Speech. Sindarin. The elven language of the elves who did not go to the Undying Lands.
sindarin yeah^^
Good call. Working from memory at the end of a work week means that some errors are likely.
I love the simple, straight forwardness of Amon Amarth. Easy to understand lyrics, generally simple song structures, super fun riffs, nice solos, one of the most entertaining bands out there imo.
Amon Amarth forever!!!! 🤜ODIN🤛 Greetings from Finland! 🤘🇫🇮🤘
Wotan for the win.
Suomi perkele🇫🇮
I will put $5 on the table that listening to Amon Amarth's "Embrace of the endless ocean" or "Fate of Norns" will make Sori tear up.
Still waiting...
im a 40 year old man and i tear up everytime i hear fate of norns!
Thor is being like a messiah you can say but in the norse mythology is also described as really stubborn and angry some times . This shows hes not perfect even as a god and has weakness and constantly learning (in norse mythology understanding your failures and weakness and the pursue of knowledge is almost a core subject. ) Fenris or Fenrir is a giant wolf and he is a offspring of the god Loki and his brother the world serpent jormungand. Also if not mistaken this song is about Thor's first encounter with Jormungand where he went for fishing and caught the world serpent and fought with him. In the norse language Hlodyn is another name. for odin as far as i know also. Hope this helps
Definitely !!
Yes if it's the story I'm thinking of he was fishing with Tyr's (God of war) giant stepfather. Was he the king of giants? I cant remember
Close.......it's about Thor and Jormungandr, but it's also about their final battle at Ragnarok, where they're fated to kill each other. Thor's strength is too much for the serpent, but in their struggle, Thor is poisoned. He walks nine steps from the site of their battle and dies. (Hence the "Ride to meet your fate, your destiny awaits." in the chorus)
Hlôdyn is the Jotunn Jord. Thor's mother. Its one of her other names from the other languages (I don't know if its Scandinavian or German in origin)
Todor minchev, hlödyn is a personification of earth or midgard. She is said to be thor's mother. She was a giantess btw but Vingtor is also a name for Thor but it means Battle Thor. And also 1 last thing is Thor kills Jörmangundr but dies from poisenous wounds suffered during the battle
Their best song imo is across the rainbow bridge, it's basically a poem it's so nicely written
Annihilation of Hammerfest and Without Fear are among the best too.
Amon Amarth is one of my favorits, the video for this is epic.
Would love to see some Dimmu Borgir, The Mourning Palace is a great song.
The video for it would've been more epic if it wasn't just a bunch of Vikings fighting. Still, It was pretty epic.
If you want an epic Amon Amarth video it is "Father of the Wolf".
I don't think they can do videos
yes, the video!! Awesome, the flaming shields made me go beserk....in a good way!
Good song but yeah it was short but still great. If you want long Epic song listen to ICED EARTH - Dante's Inferno. 16 min song and it is totally worth it guys! Day 29 and counting 👍✌
I second that!
YEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Yes prioritize this guys
Yes! They definitely need to check out Iced Earth!
Yeeeeessss
Thor does maybe resemble a Messianic character in the Marvel universe, but NOT so in the real Norse mythology! He is incredibly strong, one of the strongest gods among the Aesir, but he is considered short-tempered and also a rash decision maker. He is a god of war and ain't afraid to show it! Maybe he could be considered a more military oriented Messiah like the Jews were expecting. Someone who would take over the world by force and rule over it with might.
Whoa! Good distinction
Actually he isn't THE God of war. But thunder, strength, defense, oaks, goats, lightning, storms, weather, crops, trading voyages, courage, trust, revenge, protection, warfare, and battles.
Others associated with war are Freja, Odin, Tyr and Ullr.
And the song is about Thor's fight with Jormundgandir (the world serpent). Could go further into the tale, but tricky when writing on my phone :P Vin! But Neil Gaiman's book "Norse Mythology" and read it all for yourself.. much better 😉
So true. Play God of War 4.
To be fair, I did say *A* god of war
:D
Amon Amarth - EMBRACE OF THE ENDLESS OCEAN
Then check out Fear Factory - Resurrection and Pisschrist
Blind Guardian - Valhalla
The live version gives me goosebumps th-cam.com/video/CZ_VFJn2kJM/w-d-xo.html
> The last meeting between the serpent and Thor is predicted to occur at Ragnarök, when Jörmungandr will come out of the ocean and poison the sky. Thor will kill Jörmungandr and then walk nine paces before falling dead, having been poisoned by the serpent's venom.
Supervulcano?
Thank you for reacting to this! if you want a little less complicated norse mythology lyrics listen to "one thousand burning arrows" about the ceremony for a passed away king, it's so good and amazingly written, will give you goose bumps!
AbsolutelySmashing I agree, this is an amazing song.
It's on a concept album, though, so, why not react to the whole thing, one song at a time?
That could be a cool indeed! but you gotta think about the time it will take, i just thought that this song is something different from the heavy ass other songs on the album and therefore it would be cool to show that side of Amon Amarth
AbsolutelySmashing I agree with that. It would probably be unfun at a point. Tho, Torri said that sjw wanted to listen to the songs in order, so I'd give it a shot
That entire album tells one story
Actually, When Thor kills Jormungander it releases poison into the air which kills a wounded Thor. (My Norse mythology is a little rusty so I'd fact check that before you believe it)
Now, listen to One Thousand Burning Arrows by Amon Amarth.
No need to fact check yourself. You basically got it right.
You're correct. Thors death in turn causes Ragnarok
between the buried and me-ants of the sky!!
Instant like! More of this! PLEASE do MOAR Amon Amarth. listen to "Embrace of the Endless Ocean" next.
Adam Sclafani YES!
That and Destroyer of the Universe.
I want "Embrace of the Endless Ocean" played at my funeral.
That, Prediction of Warfare, or Tattered Banners and Bloody Flags
Embrace was my first Amon Amarth song. Truly beautiful and a tragedy.
One of the things I love about the Norse tale of Thor is that he knows he will die in the battle against Jorgumundur - yet willing goes to face the beast, arguably for us Humans.
Hlodin is Thors Mother, Vingtor is another name for Thor
Also - if you want an Amon Amarth song that tugs the Heart strings - Fate of Norns
I know enough Norse mythology to clear some things up. The world serpent, Jörmungandr is one of the three kids of Loki. Jörmungandr the world serpent, Fenris a great wolf, and Hel a half dead girl are all Loki´s kids out of wedlock with a giant woman. Odin, who has sacrificed his eye for unlimited wisdom, banishes the world serpent to the oceans and Hel to Helheim (the realm of the dead). Fenris through treachery they bind with an unbreakable silk chain when he gets too big and might for the gods to feel safe around. You see, Odin has seen a vision of Ragnarok, the end of the world, and knows that Lokis children fight against the gods. What he does not realize is that by trying to prevent that he instills anger in those three and makes them hate the gods. A self fulfilling prophecy if you will. Come Ragnarok, the world serpent will rise from the depths and fight Thor and lose but poison him in the process. Thor will die of the wound, Fenris will fight Odin and win, and the world will end. Loki and his children will in the end fight against the gods.
What you need to realize is that comparing norse mythology to christianity does not work and here is why. One of the first things you will realize if you start researching norse mythology is that the gods, and particularly Thor and Odin, are complete and utter cunts. They will screw others over and be cruel just for their own benefit. The nordic peoples feared their gods, they did not simply worship them. Loki is ofter portrayed as the bad guy and a lying trickster, you guys will probably say that he sounds like the nordic version of Satan. But if I have to be honest, Loki is the best of the bunch. He and his children will betray the gods at Ragnarok, but they will be completely justified in their actions. Loki is treated like shit by the other gods, while he ends up saving their ass more often than not. He is a very very complex character for a mythological being. So you see Thor has little to no Jesus parallells and neither does Odin to the christian God. They are treacherous, they are lying and and thieving beings who only care about themselves. Sorry for the essay, but I am passionate on the subject of norse mythology :P
Ivan Gushkov Loki is a frith breaker. Hardly the best of the nordic gods.
Hel was not banished to Helheim per se, she was appointed by Odin to oversee the realm of the dead. Pretty much all the dead go to Helheim, except those who go the hall of the Norse God they are called to. Hel is the daughter of Loki and his first wife, the Jotun Angrboda. Jormugandr and Fenris are also their children.
Fair point Hel was kinda happy in the darkness of Helheim.
What you describes as being "complete and utter cunts" is simply them being like humans.
Im pretty sure Christinas also fear their god, i would think probably more than the noric people did. Im not an expert but there seems to be more threts of punishment in chrisitanity while the norse gods mainly where there to protect the humans.
Yea all the gods are cunts Loki included. What I was trying to say is that he seems like the most relatable to me. I can at least understand why he acts the way he does. As I said, he is actually a really complex character. Whatever you say of Loki he is not a vilain, he is an anti hero at worst. Now that I think about it Tyr was the only one not happy about what they did to Fenris, so he is OK too I guess. But in no way are they benevolent beings like the christian God so my point still stands :P
Amon amarth means Mount Doom from lotr. It's in the elf language from the trilogy by Tolkien
Gonna keep requesting! Not giving up ;)
Porcupine Tree - Buying New Soul
Orange Man why does soft or heavy matter? It's a beautiful song :)
Amon Amarth is the name of a mountain in one of tolkien's books. Tolkien was a Norse historian as well as an author.
I don't know if the guys who requested this are still around, but I'd suggest "A Thousand Years Of Opression". It's a fantastic song. Also, I'm still around waiting for some Epica xdd
Also, Amon Amarth is elvish for Mt. Doom. The lead singer, Johan Hegg, is a big fan of Tolkien.
About to be a broken man and quit requesting heilung-Krigskaldr doesn't seem like it's going to happen
Nah, come on lets get this song reacted to
Ryan H. We need to get this to top comments
Yes we do
support. would like to see them react to Igorrr as well
I have been requesting Cruelty Brought the Orchids by Cradle. I’ll help you out. I have been requesting in the village for a bit now. But I feel like you do. I doubt it will happen.
I feel vin would enjoy the poetic value in that one since he likes Her ghost. I’m about to give up after a few more requests I think
Vingthor is battle-Thor. Thor does defeat Jormundgandr, the Midgard serpent, but the serpent's fang punctured Thor's thigh and he dies from the poison. I recommend listening to Prophecy of Ragnarök but Brothers of Metal.
I love the melody on this .. Scandinavian Melodic Death Metal, like this, was a big part of what really got me into Metal (in particular, Dark Tranquillity's "Damage Done" Album, back in in 2002). I don't listen to it as much, but I'll just never dislike it in general. I will however say I definitely prefer this song to the In Flames you reacted too.
Instead of requesting Agalloch for the 100th time, in case you read this comment, I'll instead mention something I you surely won't ever react to, but I feel like "sharing", since you mentioned "Epic", and here I am talking about Swedish Melodeath and stuff.
There was this band called Edge of Sanity, started by a guy called Dan Swano, who has a massive body of work in metal, lots of albums with lots of different bands, he sings (both growls and clean vocals), plays multiple instuments, and also produced\engineered\mixed multiple albums (even Opeth albums). It wasn't just a "Melodeath" band, it was a Progressive Death Metal band that still was very melodic.
And that band released a concept album called "Crimson", in 1996, which consisted of a single 40minute song, telling a story about a world where humanity cannot reproduce anymore (and then subsequent events). All I'm gonna say is that it's fantastic, one of best albums I've had the pleasure of hearing, as I love both melodic\progressive death metal and concept albums. And It was released back in 1996, a year before In Flames Whoracle, and more importantly before Opeth's My arms, your Hearse and Still Life, other Concept Albums in the "Progressive Death Metal" genre that followed.
I think the reason why the song's name it's Twilight of the Thunder God it's because Thor defeated Jormungander on their first encounter, but he didn't killed it, he just defeated it. On Norse Mythology's Apocalypse, named Ragnarock (wich also is named on the song, it says, "Ragnarock awaits" just at the end) Thor faces Jormungander once again and that's the moment they both ended up killing each other, Jormungander dies by Thor's hammer, but Thor dies poisoned by Jormungander's venom. I think that's why the song's name is Twilight of the Thunder God, Ragnarock is also named Twilight of the Gods, so...if Thor dies on Ragnarock...that would be he's twilight.
I love your videos guys...like...srsly...i would love to see ya reacting to Ex Deo's Rise of Hannibal, or Romulus.
Symphony X - Odyssey - nobody?
Everybody!
In the case of being too long, they should get in on Through the Looking Glass, When All is Lost, Reign In Madness, The Edge of Forever or Accolade II.
The Odyssey, A Change of Seasons, The Great Escape, Dante's Inferno or The Holographic Principle would be majestic though..!
Orange Man pleb
Orange Man Nobody said that ever! ;)
Need one that isn't too long.
Literally all their videos are like 15-20 min+. A 24 minute song should be no problem. Quit being such whiny plebs and enjoy the long song.
Jormungandr is the World Serpent, that circles the entire World, head to tail. Fenrir is his brother and they are sons of Loki.
Finally! I've been waiting a loooong long time for you guys to listen to Amon Amarth lol. You should keep going and listen to Guardians of Asgaard.
I love how much Vin is into this song
do endless ocean by amon amarth, its super emotional
Love the video guys! What's the status on the Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon listen/gathering?
You need to hear some Symphony x
emperor81 indeed! Paradise Lost
Paradise Lost is my favorite Symphony X record
emperor81 yeeeah i love symphony X
Gonna post here until you guys do Devour me Colossus from Ne Obliviscaris... WILL NOT STOP!
Fenrir and Jormungandr are Loki's children. And pretty much the end of the world.
A few points that might help clarify the situation: Vingthor is Thor in his battle form, a terrifying war-God whose strength is beyond mortal imagination. Hlodyn, consort of Odin and mother of Thor is a giantess, personification of the uncivilized Earth. Thor Odin'son is brash and less cunning than his adopted brother Loki. Jormundgandr the world-serpent is an offspring of Loki. A great sea-serpent that has coiled completely around Midgard, the human world. Thor is the guardian of Midgard, so during the Norse apocalypse Ragnarok, Thor encounters Jormundgandr in mortal combat. Thor grasps Jormundgandr's tongue and strikes him dead with Mjolnir, but in the process is poisoned by Jormungandr's incurable venom, then walks nine steps and perishes. This song is about the guardian of humanity making his last stand against primordial chaos and the destruction of the entire human realm, and although he succeeds he also fails. Ultimately all nine worlds are destroyed and then reborn following the events of Ragnarok.
Heyyy can you please put in the list Darkthrone - Quintessence ? It's norwegian black metal (old school). You have never react to this genre. Check it out ^^
Thor didn't survive the fight with Jormungandr. "He grips the snake firmly by the tongue" is when he gets bit by Jormungandr and envenomated. Also, Hlyden is another name for Odin/Oden/Woden/Wotan. All the same god. Fenrir (Fenris) is the son of Loki and Angerboda as is Jormungandr. Sleipnir, Oden's horse, was born by Loki (Loki is correctly Sleipnir's mother). There's a lot to unpack here.
If you like songs about mythology, PLEASE check out the band Amorphis anything post-2005, when the new singer Tomi came on board. Almost every song they do is based on Finnish mythology, which is even older than Norse mythology.

Poets of the Fall - Carnival of Rust, Drama for Life and Choice Millionaire

Yayyy finally. Thor died from Jormangund's venom after he struck him down. Amazing video guys. Amon Amarth is definitely a top 3 band imo
For the underground show. Either In De Naam Van De Duivel or The Possession Process by Carach Angren. They're a symphonic black metal band that writes their albums as horror stories. These two work as stand alone songs though. Think you guys will love em.
And Babel's Gate by Septic Flesh. Symphonic Death metal and you'd get a kick out of the lyrics.
Also you guys need to do the whole of Damnation And A Day by Cradle Of Filth. Best Cradle album in my opinion and the album tells the story of Satan before his fall all the way to his defeat. Seeing how you guys dissect this stuff is amazing.
I'm emotionally dying waiting for a Carach Angren review. I'm pushing hard for Funerary Dirge of a Violinist. I think it will grab them both and be the best hook.
That is a good one but every Carach Album is a concept album and I can only think of a few songs off of albums that aren't dance and laugh amongst the rotten that work equally as well as stand alone songs without the context of the rest of the album.
I can see what you're saying, especially since these two seem to not like being dropped in on one song from a concept album. Music is fluid for me, in that I can listen to a concept album in its entirety, and take in the concept, but singular songs of the album listened to at random can have a totally different feel or meaning to me. To me Funerary Dirge is one of those where you do not need the whole concept to "get it" as intended. I can't wait for ANY Carach Angren though, so I am happy either way. :)
Sori: wack-ass song
Vin: shit
Me: this is proof that swearing is not a sin as long as you dont say with hate.
*Facts 301*
Amarth* not Armarth
The different names for different figures in the Norse pantheon are respective forms from different regions of northern Europe. This mythology, culture and religion was prevalent through most of the area, but as the languages and cultures started to diverge from each other different names and variations came about.
Vikings are very impressive.
BUT! Do *Porcupine Tree - Anesthetize*
Niki Ursol been a significant lack of prog lately. Beginning to give up hope for this channel. Way too much death and black metal.
THOR is the least Messianic. He was brash, impatient and aggressive. He was a weapon. Born for battle for battles sake and destined to die in the Last Battle, Ragnorok defeating the greatest of foes.
Only found your channel a few days ago but glad I’m I did! Greetings from Canada!
18:37 Amon Amarth, which can be translated as Mountain of Fate, is the Sindarin name (a fictional language devised by J. R. R. Tolkien which is spoken by the elfs in Middle-Earth) for Mount-Doom where the One Ring was forged and ultimately destroyed by Frodo.
slayer - jihad
You should do Thyrfing for some real viking shit. Anything from Vansinnesvisor or Farsotstider would do. Most songs are in Swedish but there are songs in english aswell. Primordial is another band you should check out, it's the Irish version of viking metal.
Also, weren't we promised some Opeth today? ;)
Primordial - As Rome Burns!
Please do the first metal song ever made. Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath!
Yes
Also I would recommend Enslaved for more progressive Black Metal take on Norse myths.
You should listen to these other songs by Amon Amarth:Fate of Norns, Rune To My Memory, Arson. All these 3 songs tell excellent stories. Awesome visuals with these songs.
Gilbert Carrillo Jr If they do Arson then they must follow it up with Once Sealed In Blood
FurorDivinus you are very right. Would love to actually see that.
Thor does kill Jormangundr, but Thor succumbs to the serpents Venom.

1. Sori, are you thinking of this verse: "And he who lies in my name shall choke on his own false tongue and his poisonous words shall betray him"? I'm not Christian, but I know this verse because my favourite show "Supernatural" draws heavily from the Bible lol. Though, let me know if this is even an actual verse.
2. This isn't a concept record, because there some songs that don't revolve around the mythology at all. First example: "Varyags Of Miklagaard". Miklagaard was the Norse word for Constantinople/Istanbul and these warriors, Varyags or Varangians, were the Imperial Guard of Justinian The Great, the Byzantine Emperor. They swore an oath to protect him and give their lives for him if necessary.
Second example: "Embrace Of The Endless Ocean" is about the final thoughts of a drowning raider whose ship went down in a storm.
Pink Floyd - Dogs
Ragnarok is the end of days in norse mythology - a sundering where the realm of the dead (Helheim - or literally Home of Hel) and the giants (notably, frost giants from Jotunheim and fire giants from Muspelheim) led by none other than Loki the Trickster, the giant that once charmed his way into Asgard as a permanent settler, wage war on the aesir by marching on Asgard.
A short overview: Nidhoggr (the dragon of the World Tree) gnaws off the branch that supports Helheim, letting Hel's warship (made of the fingernails of all the dead who've ever come to her realm) escape with all the souls of the underworld bound for war on the living. Heimdall the Watcher sees the coming storm and sounds Gjallarhorn, alerting the aesir that apocalypse has come. The aesir muster for war and gather all the Einherjar (souls of the valorous dead who journeyed to Valhalla after their deaths), but Odin, having sacrificed one of his eyes to the Dead Fortune-Weavers in exchange for unparallelled wisdom, has foretold that Ragnarok will be the death of them all.
The giant wolves Skoll and Hati devour the sun and the moon and Fimbulwinter falls upon the world. The wolf Fenrir escapes from his unbreakable chains and devours Odin, Tyr (the original Binder of Fenrir) kills the hellhound Garm (a norse Cerberos), Jormungandr (a worm so great in size that even though it lays at the bottom of the ocean it encircles the entirety of the world) rises out of its slumber to feast on all the worlds. But Jormungandr must first face Thor, now for the second time, but succumbs to the might of the thunderlord - but not before biting him, inflicting a venom that will shortly after his victory become his bane wound. Finally, Surtr the Charred, King of Fire Giants, Lord of Muspelheim (the Fire World), He who was First (after the primordial giants had gone away) bathes the entire cosmos in a blaze so hot that even the stars themselves are extinguished. As the fire subsides, everything that once existed has been burned away.
But a tiny handful of gods, and two humans, survive the ordeal by hiding away in a small pocket of divine existence, the last remnants of the primordial giant Ymir (from which the world tree once sprung) - and eventually, out of the scorched earth in Midgard life begins anew. The wicked giants are no more, and for the rest of all time there is peace and prosperity among humans and gods.
You are right that Thor/Vingtor are different names for the same person. Vingtor is a constructed name, loosely meaning "Thor the wobbly" in reference to the swirling type of momentum ones body would get if you were to swing a very heavy object - like a large hammer - around your body or over your head repeatedly - so although "Thor the wobbly" sounds goofy and comical, it is in fact a name of great respect that shows recognition of Thor's legendary hammer-throwing prowess.
Odin/Hlodyn is not, however - Hlodyn (also known as Jordr or Fjørgin) is one of Odin's consorts - though it is unclear exactly what she is. She's described as the daughter of night (not daughter of *the* night, more like daughter of the darkness of night or nightfall) and represents the embodiment of all land and mountains. Many scholars imagine she is of the primordial giants (all of whom had either godlike powers or embodied various primal elements of the world).
You need to see the video. It was pretty doooope 🤘🤘🤘🤘😭
🤘🤘🤘🤘🙃 agreed
It's the Twilight because Jormungandr and Thor kill each other. Thor strikes a killing blow but the World Snake bites and poisons Thor, killing him, before Jormungandr dies.
Animals As Leaders - Ectogenesis!!!
Amon Amarth - Deceiver of the Gods
Also, Amon Amarth makes some epic music videos. I'd recommend in the future watching those instead of what you did - especially if there was no lyric video.
Bathory - Through Blood By Thunder
Yeah, so they know Dave Mustaine is not the only one with a less than perfect voice :-)
Finally reviewing a great viking metal masterpiece!

Odin> Thor> Jesus!
anvilofcrom1 Who is this Jesus Person and GOD STUFF
about the names; youre right, there are a lot of names for each god/ figure - also in each region (scandinavia/modern germany and so on and even the smaller regions/ every tribe) the gods had different names.especially odin has prob hundreds ('endless amounts') of different names (allfather etc)
and for example only the name 'odin' - depending on the region was called oden, odin, uoden, woden, wodan and so on
Behemoth
U should check Father of the Wolf by them, its like a mini 🎥! 😀
Manowar-house of death
Yes! Thanks for reacting to Amon Amarth, as for why it's called "twilight of the thunder god" it's because in norse mythology Thor dies fighting Jormungandr during the events of Ragnarök (the death of many of the gods and destruction of the world so it can later be born anew), also Amon Amarth means "Mount Doom" in Sindarin from the J. R. R. Tolkien universe, you should check out their song "Thousand Years of Oppression" or "Destroyer of the Universe". You should also check out the band Týr for more norse goodness, I recommend the songs "Hall of Freedom" or "Hold the Heathen Hammer High".
Yes!
You've gotta do '....And Soon thw World Will Cease to Be' or 'A Thousand Years of Oppression'
The time has come!!!
Nightwish - The Poet and the Pendulum.
I agree
David Meyers Vin And Sorri, do you agree?
well do ya Vin well do ya Sorri?
I agree!
Given they seem interested in this material I would start with the fathers of the genre, Therion. They did an entire album called Secret of the Runes which is about Norse mythology and their fingerprint is what paved the way for Nightwish.
If you want epic, try Edge of Sanity - Crimson. It's a 40 minute song. Looooong, but well worth it.
Please react to The Hero by them too I would love to see your reaction. Very underrated track and one heartbreaking.
The whole production is perfect! A fantastic song all together!
Please check out “I’m The Mountain” by Stoned Jesus.
Check out the show Vikings, on par with Game of Thrones and a great semi-realistic history lesson on the ancient Nordic people.
Gotta make a few requests... Red Fang- Blood Like Cream (Underground), Gorgorath- Carving A Giant (Black Fire), Ozzy Osbourne- Mr. Crowley (Main Stage)
Great show guys, take care.
Norse mythology is my favourite mythology besides Lovecraftian mythology. I love this band and this song. Highly recommend giving this whole album a listen.
Amon Amarth are fun as hell. Great live band. I had a friend of mine go into one of their pits and he came out bleeding from a head wound but still laughing his head off.
Definitely picked a good song. This was during their streak of really solid to great albums.
I kinda feel like they’ve become the AC/DC of viking metal which isn’t a bad thing, it’s mainly saying that since Twilight they’ve stuck to a formula and it works well for their fan base.
You're right Vin. In Norse mythology many God's had several different names. You're also correct in that the wolf and serpent both represent the enemies the Gods face as well as a representation of the changes to end life as the Norse understood and the coming of Christianity. In his lyrics Johan twists the sagas and stories to victories rather then defeats as Thor and Jyarmondandr, pronounced Yahr-mund-gander, kill another at Ragnarok. If you need more I go please feel free to reach out I'm a student of Norse mythology and runes too. Great review
MIGHTY THOR, SOON HIS WORK IS DONE!
If you have a chance, see them live. They always put on a killer show (I've seen them 3 times now I think?) and the vibe is amazing. Apparently their fans aren't jerks so you'll have a great time :)
your description of the lyrics are WRONG vinandsori...actually,thor ended up dead right after killing the serpent bcoz the serpent's blood spurts unto him,and the blood is poisonous..so,even though he accomplished the mission,sadly it cost him his life..☠😵💀😵💀😵☠
Katatonia - Leaders
Vingtor is another name for the Almighty Thor
When u react to Massive Attack- Babel or inertia creeps, just remember it's trip-hop.... Try to feel trip-hop, ..and bass guitar is the core of trip-hop,..
Instant click! This band is so awesome! Haha
It's really easy tbh: Ensiferum - Victory Song.
Jormungandr (You're moon gander) is a son of Loki and so is Fenris/ Fenrir (Fen riss/ fen reer) who is a giant wolf who devours Odin and is avenged by another son of Odin Vidhar (Vee thar). Ragnarok translates to Twilight of the gods as most gods are killed and the new children of the gods and 2 human survivors continue on to the new reborn world.
It's called twilight of the thunder god because Thor dies from the poison breath after he kills the serpent.
Also Tolkien drew a lot from Norse mythology because Britain shares a mythology with the Norse. Elves, Dark Elves, Dwarfs, all originate in Norse mythology. C.S Lewis drew mostly from the bible.
And Amon Amarth is Mount Doom in Sindarin (Low Elven in Tolkien's world).
"I thought it was gonna be a big long epic one, little bit sad"
Yeah everyone recommends this one, but I just don't feel like it's the best hook. Even if you don't review them (but it would be awesome!), look up Amon Amarth-Where Silent Gods Stand Guard, or Versus the World. Vin, you will be much more satisfied with them "fo' sho' " ;)
Finally some Amon Armarth. You were right about comparing it to Lord of the Rings. Amon Amarth means Mount Doom in one of Tolkien's Elven languages. Please react to more.
I'm so glad that I found you guys! I find myself looking forward to your videos! Your honest perspective on my favorite genre of music is so rare. Please keep it up! Love and light to you and yours!
Plenty of people covering the mythology behind the song, so I'll just add that Swedish power-metal band Sabaton did a cover of this song that might be more appealing to people who aren't a fan of the "growl" vocals. And then someone on TH-cam made a mashup video that combines both versions together, which turned out pretty freaking amazing. Speaking of Sabaton, try reviewing Inmate 4859 by them. And maybe do a little research behind the story as well. Almost all of Sabaton's songs are about actual historical events, usually wartime. This one is no exception, and it's an unbelievable story when you dig into the details of it.
another week has gone by and still no opeth nor btbam. I'll keep waiting tho.
There are a lot of amazing songs and bands, it's hard to do everything. Patience and requesting it every video helps.
