Zack Akai very cool. It’s kinda interesting that a lot of music between the game play is hard rock and the odd metal song with some pop. It definitely fits the high action atmosphere of the sport.
@@elektrik_exekutioner6822 Hardly... Possibly in the last few years. And besides that, death metal has never been mainstream in a larger scale in the whole music industry.
Death metal mainstream? What are you talking about? Just because it has a larger following than other extreme metal genres doesn’t make it mainstream. It’s still a very niche music genre. The only metal genre that attracts any mainstream attention is core Heavy Metal stuff and whatever Slipknot is.
Johan and all of Amon Amarth are really cool guys. My friends and I waited to meet them for 2 hours after a show in freezing temperatures, And they came out with warm pizza and water for us! I will never forget that!
Got to a show in St. Louis early, they were all hanging out at the venue outside their bus. Me and my buddies had a plastic viking helmet we bought at a halloween store. We waltzed our way to their bus, with myself wearing the helmet. They got a kick out of it and all signed the helmet, answered questions about random nonsense we asked and just chilled for a bit. Cool dudes.
@@Meemitalo_ Seriously? Metal (particularly the extreme variant) is still a niche genre of music. The majority of people have probably never heard an extreme metal band. There are even videos on the very subject of exposing people to extreme metal for a reason. Just last week I introduced my uncle to harsh vocals. Trust me, I guarantee that at least a few people decided to check out AA after this clip and were shocked.
@@fullhazard1 It's true that lots of hockey players listen to rock. From my experience, they don't listen to extreme metal in large numbers (like society in general). I've been playing hockey and listening to metal for 30 years. I currently play hockey on Saturday morning and Tuesday night. We listen to music while we play. I'm usually the one who plays the music and I can tell you that if I played AA, the music would get shut off. Even the guys that I know listen to hard rock and some metal are taken aback by extreme metal and harsh vocals in particular. There was a time when another guy who I know listens to extreme metal accidentally put some metal core on his play list. When the song came on, most of the guys acted like aliens had landed in the building.
@I'm not a troll I promise I'd say well played. But you're too obvious. Change your name and work on actually hooking people in before you make it clear that you are a troll. Then grow up and find a real hobby.

I love them. Met Johan at a gig here in Stockholm and we talked about their mobile game. Such a great guy, insanely nice and genuine! I love how nerdy they can be when it comes to stuff they love
Mr. Santhropy : It is estimated that about 600000 (wich of about 110000 are members of a congregation) muslims live in Sweden. Sweden has a population of about 10 million people. Most people that say Sweden is a muslim country are conspiracy nutjobs or just liars that try to justify their ideology. So no, Sweden is not a muslim country. We are a very secular nation.
This is by far one of my favorite bands which is neck to neck with meshuggah. Amon Amarth for anyone that likes metal/Vikings/Thor type themes/history visuals with battles this bands lyrics are so perfect that with each song you can literally picture the theme and visualize yourself in the battle or prepping for battle and so on. Other bands are great of course but this one seriously has the gift of pulling you into each song. Black Birds Cry is one of my faves.
@@jasonchilton5023 Sacrifice something to Odin (one of your eyes, perhaps) and maybe He will grant you your wish. With Him on Our Side We Are Victorious!
Pretty cool. Hockey is the most Metal of all sports. You can hear Sepultura, Maiden, Van Halen etc play during breaks. Always thought that was one of the coolest things about the sport.
Johan is a Caps fan? That retroactively makes my Amon Amarth concert experience all the more better, even though it was in Boston. Go Caps and can't wait for the new Amon Amarth album!! 🤘
I've listened to Amon Amarth for about 14 years, and played ice hockey longer than that. I never knew Johan also enjoyed hockey, though. Hopefully I'll get a chance to see them live again.
I see Amon Amarth every touring cycle: every few years. Great band, and they usually have good supporting bands: skeletonwitch, entomed ad, exmortus. Good stuff!
3:14 lol Färjestad is the hockey team in a town called Karlstad as he said, didn’t know he played for them but that’s legit my fav team 🤪 the world is pretty small sometimes!
@@youdont.needtoknow In Sweden I'd say he's the biggest since he scored the GWG in the olympic final 1994. Of course winning 2006 too. Lidström is not as big as he should be in Sweden. Forsberg always showed up for the national team which is the biggest thing in Sweden since few could watch the games in the middle of the night. Nowadays we got some games at watchable hours on the weekends.
You could argue for all three of them; of course, I'm partial to Lidstrom being a Detroit native. But I always had tons of respect for Sundin as well, though maybe not so much for Forsberg during the height of the Wings-Avs rivalry. Doesn't mean I never recognized his talent, though just think if he wasn't hurt at the tail end of his career...
yeah. a few years ago him, some of his bandmates, and Grutle of Enslaved were at a Bruins game before they were to play at the House of Blues in Boston. and there's photographic evidence to prove it. it was an awesome sight even though I personally didn't see the picture until a couple days later.
Odin, guard our sticks, our helmets, gloves and pads... guide the puck through the lines, and into the nets \,,/
hahaha
for the confused non-metal hockey fans, I suggest you listen to the song 'Pursuit Of Vikings' ...
Perfection.
they should remix it to this hahaa that'd be awesome
ㅁㅊㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Not a hockey guy but you had my attention at Johan Hegg
Zack Akai very cool. It’s kinda interesting that a lot of music between the game play is hard rock and the odd metal song with some pop. It definitely fits the high action atmosphere of the sport.
You’re missing out homie
Me to 😅
Zack Akai Same here!
Same😂😂😂
Who would’ve thought that a death metal band would get any kind of mainstream attention like this.
Not too much mainstream, they'll dilude and make it pop.
Death metal has always been pretty mainstream in comparison to other metal genres.
@@elektrik_exekutioner6822 Hardly... Possibly in the last few years. And besides that, death metal has never been mainstream in a larger scale in the whole music industry.
@@xooperz Compared to metal genres it is mainstream. I mean death metal being too mainstream has even birthed a whole new genre in black metal.

I'm a simple man , I see Amon Amarth I click and like.

I'm a simple man, i see another simple man i click like button.
I'm a simple man... Simple.
It's nice that they included a photo of 6yr old Johan at 2:42, what an adorable boy he was
Paavo Yletyinen 😂🤣😭
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
i died from laughter reading this
That's how they grow them in Sweden.
LOL.
Metal and hockey go perfect together! I met Johan briefly once and was super nice!
Was he nice too?
Sometimes people with the most brutal public image and sound is some of the most well-spoken, down-to-earth people.
Johan and all of Amon Amarth are really cool guys. My friends and I waited to meet them for 2 hours after a show in freezing temperatures, And they came out with warm pizza and water for us! I will never forget that!

amon amarth on a major network is mind numbingly awesome
The only sport where you can go to a game and hear metal during stoppages.
+ american football,Patriots fan btw.
@NorthernLights ofDemons I have heard Slayer, Exodus, Dimmu Borgir, Testament, and Sodom's Agent Orange, which shocked me actually, among others.
Not in Vancouver. Their in-house DJ is confused and thinks he's in a laid back dance club. Creates the worst atmosphere.
@@captainwacky955 lol....that's rough.
Except in Detroit.
Music is terrible here.
Should be playing Michigan metal like Black Dahlia Murder and Throne.
Wonder how many people decided to check out AA and were more than a little shocked.
How is anyone shocked about metal in 2019 anymore

Teema Darwinisti look at popular music today. Look at music like Amon Amarth. People are still shocked to hear music like that to this day.

I always go to Amon Amarth shows. Even if I had to take a night off from work
AMON AMARTH RULES ! METAL RULES !
Now That’s Awesome
I want more Metal on NHL
Been fan of AA for 23 years
Amazing band saw them 15x
You should say 50 years
I'm not a troll I promise U calling me troll my friend
Damn! 15x

im from norway...only a true viking would love hockey....and what better music to hear while watching highlights then Amon Amarth
One of My favorite singers is a fan of my NHL team..... sweet. I knew he had taste!
Thought for sure he was going to say because of Backstrom... I'll be seeing them with Slayer in about a month and half

Darkest Hour are fans too

I know. They wrote a song for the team called "Rock The Red"
@@MrJordwalk I have a ritual to listen to it before Caps games
A DEATH METAL BAND IS GETTING MAINSTREAM ATTENTION
So cool. Not that big into hockey, but I'm a simple person. I see Johan Hegg, I click. So cool that he's into hockey.
this guy is full of metal & smile
I just saw Amon Amarth for the first time this summer and they rock.
This is by far one of my favorite bands which is neck to neck with meshuggah.

Black Birds Cry is one of my faves.
He and Mikel stanne are probably the nicest blokes in the metal.
Amon Amarth tours the US with Slayer this spring (2019), so drop everything and buy a ticket now!
What a show that would be. They are only coming to one city in Canada and it's on the other side of the country from me.
BTW - I love your thumbnail.
@@Edmundrs3rd Likewise, fellow tuxedo-cat lover! If you haven't gotten AA's most recent live album, grab that right away. They bring the big guns!
They're coming to my area the week after my birthday in May, and of course, I wanna go! That would be a hell of a birthday present!
@@jasonchilton5023 Sacrifice something to Odin (one of your eyes, perhaps) and maybe He will grant you your wish. With Him on Our Side We Are Victorious!
Already love Amon Amarth, but I love hearing that he was a Sundin fan.
I mean they are both swedes.. so obviously
What an awesome pairing. Thanks for having Johan on the show!
Pretty cool. Hockey is the most Metal of all sports. You can hear Sepultura, Maiden, Van Halen etc play during breaks. Always thought that was one of the coolest things about the sport.
i would love to meet Johan, he just seems so nice and down to earth. a really cool person
Amon amarth it's a great band my top 10 bands
One of my favorite bands ,this was awesome.
Thank you for bringing Amon Amarth to your show. Both a hockey fan and metal fan.... Thanks.
Probably the coolest thing I've seen in a while thanks 👍
Now I know why I absolutely love this band. Hockey fans!
Awsome for NHL now. Thx guys
I love hockey and I love Amon Amarth. This was a nice surprise
Great band, saw them live two years ago. Excellent show and the crowd was great too 🤘
Awesome they got him on the show! Metal need more exposure 🤘🏻🔥🇸🇪
I want to see those caps highlights with Amon Amarth playing !!
Tristan Doyle
We also have Darkest Hour! They wrote a song for the Caps.
Johan is a Caps fan? That retroactively makes my Amon Amarth concert experience all the more better, even though it was in Boston. Go Caps and can't wait for the new Amon Amarth album!! 🤘
Aw man, really? Bummer. this news makes me seriously rethink my love of Johan 😔😔
This is everything I could want in a video
Hocky might just become my favorite sport
This is awesome
Love hockey & love Amon Amarth 🤘
Johan is a Caps fan! Awesome!!!!
I've listened to Amon Amarth for about 14 years, and played ice hockey longer than that. I never knew Johan also enjoyed hockey, though. Hopefully I'll get a chance to see them live again.
Amon Amarth is keeping metal alive. Long live the vikings.
TWIGHLIGHT OF THE THUNDER GOD! \m/ who needs an adrenaline shot with that song!\m/ Guarantee 💯% energy and mindset boost!
Färjestad i Karlstad! Härligt härligt!
Had no idea Johan liked hockey, awesome.
Amon, beer and hockey. Three very enjoyable things
He is so awesome,Amon is the best
that's awesome!
Metal and hockey are a natural combination for us scandinavians
He is probably the most friendly guy in the world
i think mikael stanne of dark tranquillity is at the least on the same level ;)
The Swedes love the Leafs! I could be wrong, but hear Bjorn from Soilwork lives in Toronto, and love the Leafs too!
Björn has moved back to Sweden.
I approve of this message.
I was lucky enough to see them twice in concert. Almost went deaf in the first one
Excellent
I see Amon Amarth every touring cycle: every few years. Great band, and they usually have good supporting bands: skeletonwitch, entomed ad, exmortus. Good stuff!
Amazing how someone can look like a brute and yet be so friendly.
Love me some Amon Amarth
Good to know this things, and his brother being the therapist of the Swiss national team was really surprising!!
That Would be the Swedish national team
@@swekrympling I understood Swiss, even though I know Amon Amarth are from Sweden...

GO ÖREBRO !!!! The future of hockey in Sweden.
Hockey is metal, 🤘🤘🤘
This fucking amazing that he likes hockey.
That sweater is clearly a throwback to the 1980 Miracle on Ice team.
Metal and Hockey, but two favourite things combined
Ovechkin the great, amazing player
I love Sweden
"Nicklas Lidstrom fans might have something to say about that". Or Peter Forsberg fans
Lidstrom is the first European to caption an NHL team to a Cup though. Forsberg never did that.
Forsberg isnt even in the same class as lidstrom and sundin
@@youdont.needtoknow In Sweden I'd say he's the biggest since he scored the GWG in the olympic final 1994. Of course winning 2006 too. Lidström is not as big as he should be in Sweden.

W W lol doesnt he
Cool fkn dude...🤘
amon amarth is fuckin awesome seen them at waken Germany 5 times one of my favorite metal bands \m/-_-\m/
Okay, Johan used to be a huge Sundin fan. How cool is that? Hail Swedish Viking death \m/etal !!!
Johan is the cutest bear I've ever seen, a cute, cute bear.
Love what she wears
I love the way Johan is always smiling...
Repping grimfrost as well!
This totally fucking rocks!
I'd love to have the black one Johan!!!!
Nice! Caps fan! And Pat Sajak.....
What a dude
Hockey and metal go hand in hand.
No fear for the setting sun
I wonder if the band is selling that shirt that Johan is wearing. I'd buy that in a heartbeat.
grimfrost.com/collections/t-shirts-men
he co owns a company called.grimfrost who sell Viking style merch they make the shirt hes wearing
Another reason why hockey is bad-ass!
Nooo not the caps haha, I’m a lightning fan myself. Hoping we take the Stanley Cup this year!
Avalanche!
Pens fan. But if we go out I route for anyone who isn’t the caps so in that case sure go lightning 😁
Joan great
They say that when you play amon amarth at a hockey show, the players turn into vikings
Johan into hockey, big surprise there!
yeah. a few years ago him, some of his bandmates, and Grutle of Enslaved were at a Bruins game before they were to play at the House of Blues in Boston. and there's photographic evidence to prove it. it was an awesome sight even though I personally didn't see the picture until a couple days later.
I mean most swedes probably likes hockey
🤘
Where those highlights at!!
Johan Hegg= the TRUE METAL VIKING WARRIOR!
Their old drummer Fredrik Andersson look like Viking also
Färjestad Karlstad my town my team
Big surprise that a Djurgården fan has Mats Sundin as a favorite player ;)
Fuck yea great band! Finally something to recognizes as oppose to the mainstream crap
This is so rad. Wut
That's awesome, too bad he loves the Caps though aha
