People are saying these guys sound like Amon Amarth? 1) They Don't. 2) If they did, why would that be a bad thing? If you're gonna sound like a band (even though they don't) why not pick one of the best melodic death metal bands out there?
+James Purple They do sound a bit like Amon Amarth but I can tell instrumentally they're more in a different vein of metal with their riffs. But like you said it's not that bad a thing I love Amon Amarth so I found these guys though related artists on Spotify and now I like them, who cares.
You are Wrong, The music Einherjar sounds like MITHOTYN, the old band of Karl Beckmann, the vocalist of KoA. This band is rooted in old Swedish Death/Black/Viking Metal (Unleashed, Dawn, Bathory, Mithotyn...). Kids who discover Metal now and think that all Viking metal are Amon Amarth related are just Posers.
King of Asgard - Fi'mbulvintr - ...to North - and now KARG! These guys have been in the business FOREVER. The lead singer and one other guy were in the great viking metal band Mithotyn. (Check out the album Gathered Around the Oaken Table) The entirety of KARG is full of awesome riffs like the one in this song. Their best album to date.
This guy has really unique vocals and I'm not too sure how he does them. I'm a vocalist myself, so I know all the techniques of how to do high shrieks, to vocal fry screams, to low gutturals, but I can't tell what this guy is doing to make that kind of sound he's making.
Amon Amarth rip off? Two of the members (guitar/vox and drums) were involved in Mithotyn, who were spinning their Viking themed metal around the same time Amon Amarth were just starting to make noise and gain popularity. And Amon Amarth hasn't had that black metal tinge in their fast songs since The Crusher. Still love em though, just like I fucking love this band!
For those who thinks that this sound like Amon Amarth listen to Mithotyn and u will see the truly influence, the vocalist and the drummer played in this band in the 90s.
They're just Viking metal sound nothing like amon amarth. It's normal they'res resemblance with the same genre of music. People need to stop hating on new metal bands.
+Linus Eriksson That's just folk black metal. What about bands that make folk black metal but without a viking theme? What about Isengard? I wouldn't call Isengard a viking metal band, but Isengard's music is "black metal mixed with folk." And how is Amon Amarth in any way folk-ish or black metal-ish? In my opinion "viking metal" is *any* metal band with a viking theme. How the band members dress, their album cover art, their lyrics. There's no sound or any musical thing that makes it viking metal. I wouldn't call viking metal a genre either, it's just like "satanic metal", it exists, but it's not a whole different genre or anything.
You start with Amon Amarth. You try, but no Melodeath is quite as catchy as the sick riffs on Deceiver of the Gods. Suddenly, you're struck with the ferocious bolt of lightning that is King of Asgard. They don't sound like Amon Amarth, but every song has the beautiful guitar parts, rumbling drums and powerful vocals that you would only really expect from Amon Amarth. 100% not a rip off. 100% powerful and mighty. 10/10. I have been searching for this band for a long time.
They've been around for...at least 5 or 6 years now. Their previous albums were amazing albums and holy shit, Karg sounds like it will be just as good.
So youre saying your Odin and your talking about your grandaughters runes? XD P.S Odin is the king of Asgard in Norse mythology and hel is his sons Loki daughter
I'm so sick of people comparing King of Asgard to Amon Amarth just because of their name in which many people say. Oh King of Asgard shouldn't be called that yadda,yadda, who cares it's just a band name and their awesome at that!
Sudsy Sutherland Yea, fucking casual metalheads... There are hundreds of bands across all genres who took their name and lyrical themes from old norse mythology. PS: Isnt the name Amon Amarth from some Tolkien fantasy book that has nothing to do with vikings?
why do people always think of amon amarth when they talk about Viking death metal. guys listen to unleashed. those band really started it. except for bathory.
Why do these guys keep on getting to compared to Amon Amarth? Amon Amarth is melodic death metal, these guys are black metal, through and through. If anything I would compare these guys to Dissection or even Emperor. These guys have nothing in common with Amon Amarth except their label and their lyrical themes, but there are literally 15,000 other bands out there with Viking-inspired lyrics. Hell, even Periphery has a song called “Blood Eagle.”
It's awesome that the band got to play inside a fortress from 1545. Not many castles still remain from that time period.
Yeah, just avoid all wars when cannon was invented.
+Peter Payne There are thousands of them all over Europe!
+Peter Payne Kronobergs slott still exists!
+Peter Payne
Not many castles can remain with a fantastic band like KoA

The only reason people are saying they sound like amon amarth is because of there Viking name. They sound nothing alike
People are dumb XD
+Six Ounces of Dispair Can confirm. Sounded like Mickey Mouse, grew beard, can now growl better than angry dog.

King of Asgard is love, King of Asgard is life.
🤘🤘
Had that riff in my head for 2 days finally found it even though ive heard it before but coudnt remember who sung it
That main riff is so I Am the Black Wizards-esque I love it.
King of Asgard - Fi'mbulvintr - ...to North - and now KARG!

Their best album to date.
This band is absolutely amazing. I discovered them when they first came out with their first album, "Fi'mbulvntr".
The best new music ive heard in quite sometime! They reek in the ways of the old! His vocal pattern is nasty. Also, my neck is fucked! 10/10
So listenable, over and over again!
This guy has really unique vocals and I'm not too sure how he does them. I'm a vocalist myself, so I know all the techniques of how to do high shrieks, to vocal fry screams, to low gutturals, but I can't tell what this guy is doing to make that kind of sound he's making.
You in a band?

AA is just Unleashed with more Vikings. meh
I love this band so much!!! Hail from Australia!
Is Amon Amarth the only viking themed metal band any of you have ever listened to? This shit is much closer to Manegarm or Enslaved honestly.
***** What the hell are you?
4:25 dat riff, holy shit!
Great track. Complex, aggressive, complete. This is how viking metal should sound like!
For those who thinks that this sound like Amon Amarth listen to Mithotyn and u will see the truly influence, the vocalist and the drummer played in this band in the 90s.
These guys should start a talent show for viking metal.
Call it Axe Factor
LMFAO
I for one am glad that Týr led me here! This is a good find for my part!
Best Viking Metal group currently playing now I'd say.
Viking metal isn't a thing that exists.
The vox sounds vile dirty and I like it. Great to see these guys improve.
Damn, this was sick! Somehow never even heard of these guys until now, definitely gotta check out more of their work.
King of Asgard rocks.
They're just Viking metal sound nothing like amon amarth. It's normal they'res resemblance with the same genre of music. People need to stop hating on new metal bands.
Toby Boucher Tell me, what does viking metal sound like.?
Derpy Viking It's black metal mixed with folk, the sounds differ between bands
***** These does not sound like Amon Amarth at all.. These guys are not even melodic.
+Linus Eriksson
That's just folk black metal. What about bands that make folk black metal but without a viking theme? What about Isengard? I wouldn't call Isengard a viking metal band, but Isengard's music is "black metal mixed with folk."

This song is amazing, i love it

I think their sound is closer to Unleashed than to Amon Amarth.
+John Olive whats a band similar to amon amarth?
Troy B Almost Amarth? (Cymbal sound)
wow ...badd
You don't know your metal. Clearly.
@ I clearly do
Awesome fucking song but I can't..stop...staring..at......the beard.... Must be where the epicness comes from.
Their singer looks astonishingly familiar.
Yeah, he's the singer of King of Asgard
MisanthropicBehavior Aside from that. -__-
MushroomValleyGal
He looks like the male monk from Diablo 3
Norpal I don't see it.
Yeah, he's a human
drummer is also in Falconer
Karl Beckman Ex-Mithotyn.
Melodies like his old band.
I think Rebirth the Mithotyn
Is this a newer band? I have never heard of them until now. I will look forward to more.
They've been around for...at least 5 or 6 years now. Their previous albums were amazing albums and holy shit, Karg sounds like it will be just as good.
I'd love to see these guys in NYC.
I love metal like this!!
Excellent!
This song is absolutely phenomenal!
NEWS HEADLINE: AMON AMARTH MEMBERS KILLED BY KING OF ASGARD MEMBERS BECAUSE OF CONSTANT COMMENTS ABOUT THEM SOUNDING LIKE AMON AMARTH.
Oh, mighty sperm
Torment our nights
Worm of the world
The dude set alight
Epic dude, I love this song
Great band, great song, would definitely look them up again... But please tell me, is it just me or does the vocalist have a lisp?
God damn I love this band.
Dat awesome beardage
The runes of Hel? Are they singing about this small half-island in the north of Poland?
Who gives two shits if it sounds like Amon Amarth. Amon Amarth is kickass, and so is this.
Renegadesarrow n' so is this comment nuf' said \,,/
It's no Unleashed, but definitely more interesting than the paint-by-numbers vanilla melodeath that is Amon Amarth (and that's coming from a fan).
Excelent band powerfull riffs and vocals
Whats with that ponytail when theres plenty of reasons to fucking headbang and go crazy dude?in a freaking music video for this beast song.
I don't think this sounds like Amon Amarth.
2019 toujours excellent, merci :)
as a very avid AA fan.. this band sounds nothing like and has a different place in my collection. Very good.
From which album is this song?
The vocal looks like a Jotunn 0_0 ... Hrym is that you? Aboard Nagelfar??? We're doomed.
UNLEASHED!
Great Song 8)
Yes
I need tabs for this song... So fucking badass
So youre saying your Odin and your talking about your grandaughters runes? XD
P.S Odin is the king of Asgard in Norse mythology and hel is his sons Loki daughter
it might be a tribute to Oden.
Loke is not the son of Oden.. Where did you get that from?
🤟 Yes !
Just.
"Yes!"
Just epic.
Amon Amarth's liitle brother or what? :D
Mikael Khosrovyan not even close.
Mikael Khosrovyan Yep, i think the same.
Nice!
Kratos on vocals
Hey , look. Softcore Amon Amarth :D
LET ME FEEL YOUR HATE NOW
You are a bad person and you should feel bad.
How's that?
I'm so sick of people comparing King of Asgard to Amon Amarth just because of their name in which many people say. Oh King of Asgard shouldn't be called that yadda,yadda, who cares it's just a band name and their awesome at that!
FALSE! At least the guitarist of King of Asgard can play a solo! *cough*
Sudsy Sutherland
Yea, fucking casual metalheads... There are hundreds of bands across all genres who took their name and lyrical themes from old norse mythology.
PS: Isnt the name Amon Amarth from some Tolkien fantasy book that has nothing to do with vikings?
***** Yup, Amon Amarth is one of the names of Mount Doom.
this is fucking awesome
Is it just me or does it sound like he's lisping?
Careful on the de-esser...
Unholy fuck! That was badass!
sounds more like unleashed for me, but there is no problem in that, nice work
THIS BAND THE BEST THAN AMON AMARTH UNEQUIVOCALLY.
Black n roll with viking themes. Nice
Sensacional esse vídeo clipe que som legal
like a blackened amon amarth, also reminds me of Unleashed at some parts.
Fucking magic guys! Love your music
Hail king of asgard!

This is some epic shit!

people don't understand why King of Asgard and Amon Amarth and lumped together so often, yet any song about Jesus is christian music
Karl is SO HOTT !!!!!!
So, when do you guys sign Human A.D.?
it's fuckin good
They sound more like a viking esque alestorm than amon amarrth.
stop comparing them to Amon crap
cuz uknow
these guys are actually good .
Way better than Amon amarth
why do people always think of amon amarth when they talk about Viking death metal. guys listen to unleashed. those band really started it. except for bathory.
If you guys keep saying that they sound like Nickelback, I WILL tell you, that you are wrong.
Yes they sound a little bit like old amon amarth. But not much. They sound more like melodic black metal bands than amon tbh. Fucking good though.
Why do these guys keep on getting to compared to Amon Amarth? Amon Amarth is melodic death metal, these guys are black metal, through and through. If anything I would compare these guys to Dissection or even Emperor. These guys have nothing in common with Amon Amarth except their label and their lyrical themes, but there are literally 15,000 other bands out there with Viking-inspired lyrics.

aaaaaaaaarrrggggggghh!!!!!!
I assure you ragnarok is coming
they are like the fenrir of viking metal lmao fuck yea
He looks like Matthew McConaughey in reign of fire
Viking Band
