lol. Can you imagine that stud at 6'7'' 315 pounds? My goodness, he would create issues again any fighter under 190-pounds on the UFc current roster, or again regular human beings who can fight! But a 250-pounder standout UFC fighter like Ciryl Gane, Tai Tuivasa or Curtis Blaydes, to name a few, would literally kill him :-)
This track reminds me how much I miss Bolt Thrower and how much I hope they would rethink and get back in the saddle.. even if the cannons has faded. With a few more listens, this could end up being my new favorite AA track.
I got my first tattoo a couple of months ago. The skull from In Battle there is no Law. Bolt Thrower was and is the best band and the best thing to happen to music, MAN i fucking love BT
Sadly never going to happen after the passing of their drummer, but vocalist Karl Willets put together a new band with the same spirit - Memoriam are definitely worth checking out
I'm not going to lie, this is an amazing track. I loved it. It feels more classic and aggressive, like With Oden on Our Side, Versus the World, and Twilight of the Thunder God. The kind of outright aggression, anger, and hostility that I feel has had fewer tracks on albums since Father of the Wolf. (I say that as someone who has loved Father of the Wolf, Jomsviking, and Berserkr. They are amazing too. But every piece of art is different.) Great Heathen Army is looking to be absolutely amazing.
@@9hk38f Hah, fair! Didn't mean anything negative by it. I just feel like we haven't had as many tracks like this, The Hero, For the Stabwounds in Our Backs, and A Beast Am I on the recent albums. They've done similar songs on recent albums, it just hasn't seemed like they make up as much of the albums. That's no complaint from me. I've loved all the albums they've put out going all the way back to Versus the World. Amon Amarth doing Amon Amarth, but like the Amon Amarth that used to do Amon Amarth a little differently but is now bringing that Amon Amarth energy to the same Amon Amarth we all love.
Awesome track, i get some massive Twilight flashbacks. Having Erick Redbeard in the video is incredible, the man is a massive metal head that was wearing a different band shirt every week when he was in WWE
Yup very Bolt Thrower lite. If you can use the word lite when speaking of Amon Amarth. It's just not the same sound. I still fucking love Bolt Thrower.
//Lyrics: You smile at me through lying teeth Then you talk behind my back You think I'm blind, that I don't see The mask you wear begins to crack Your words bore me to death You're a wasp without a sting When you're done wasting breath You can find me in the ring Bring it on If you dare Will you run Are you scared I'm waiting here so come at me Let's fight it out man to man If you flee your fate is sealed Get in the ring, make your stand The coward thinks he'll always live If he keeps himself from strife But old age leaves him not in peace Though the spears may spare his life The fool thinks that he knows it all While he sits in sheltered nest Lost for words when reality calls As he's put to the test Your slander shows your inner fear Hiding behind words of spite But the Heathen law is clear I challenge you to a fight Choose blade, sword or axe It doesn't matter what you bring When the sun begins to wax Come find me in the ring Bring it on Nowhere to hide Time to face Your demise I'm waiting here so come at me Let's fight it out man to man If you flee your fate is sealed You'll die by my hand You're a dog without a bite And your taunts are uninspired It's better that you stand and fight 'Cause if you run you'll only die tired //more space = longer vocal breaks. Great Song, I love it.
one of... the best, music videos I watch semi-regularly. It brings inspiration to reality on the fact that the people Johan sings about are everywhere, some are good at it, some are not! When you call these people into the ring, they will never, NEVER show up. Wait for someone to challenge YOU and watch them still be square.
@@johnhaworth7034 It's a callback to Hávamál which means "words of the high one." It's similar to the book of proverbs in the bible. Not really a saga, at least by what I petsonally would consider a saga to be.
This is not viking metal x') Viking metal is a mixture of heavy and black metal with folk metal elements. Ereb altor, bathory, thyrfing and some others bands are "Viking metal" if we consider this genre to even exist. Amon amarth is melodic death metal/death metal.
Very good main riff! Great melodic part, Johans sounds great. A mix between early AA and their later polish, but really closer to the good old days. Good release!
@@Kriegsbeil5577 Yeah man, the intro riff is almost directly from The Avenger time, main riff's melody + drums from the Crusher... One of my favorites from AA in recent years.
Amazing song, I have been listening since With Oden on our Side and you guys have been in my top 10 bands ever since, and love the references to both the Havamal and the Volsung saga in this one very clever
@@Transilvanian90 finally someone who speaks the truth. The Avenger, Once sent from the golden hall, now that was Amon Amarth! Yes, the recordings were bad, but a remastered version of their first albums is something I would pay a lot of money for.
@@dokterkarel Even their mid-era stuff is good. Versus the World through Surtur Rising are all epic albums. It's after that they started getting a bit blander and blander, like they were on cruise control and no longer really trying.
@Dagoth Ur You're right, they did sound a bit more commercial after With Oden, but Twilight and Surtur still had extremely good songwriting, and to an extent so did much of Deceiver. Jomsviking was less good and Berserker was trash. I'm glad they seem to be swinging back.
I recently re-discovered Amon Amarth after having heard Pursuit of Vikings a few times on Headbangers Ball back in the day. God damn, I missed out. Definitely one of my top 5 bands now! AMON AMARTH!
Amon Amarth consistently disappoints. I loved this band in their golden age but with a few exceptions they've been trying to recreate the magic of Twilight of the Thunder God for a decade with depreciating values every time. Too much change can turn your fans against you but all the same complete stagnation in a single sound for this long is not fun to listen too. Their best songs in the last decade have been the ones that actually try something different, unfortunately there's maybe one or two of those per album.
These are the outlaws from the game ELEX! :) That armor at 0:15 looks like the outlaw captain one in the game. Some Mad Max vibes too. Dropped a huge like.🤘🤘
2022 is shaping up to be a stunning year for new releases. We've Sakis Tolis, Eluviete, Septicflesh, behemoth, massacre , Amon Amarth saor, bleeds from within , all released/ releasing bloody good new stuff . Take my money .
I will never forget meeting Fredrik Andersson behind a venue in Denver many many years ago during the Twilight of the Thunder God tour. He was so kind and soft-spoken, and took some time to talk to us. We handed him an unopened bottle of mead over the fence. He seemed so shocked at our expressions of joy and amazement to run in to him. To us, Amon Amarth was the best metal band on earth. I didn't realize that in 2008, they were only making about $30,000 per year each. This moment exponentially increased my support and love of these guys. I am considering requesting to play Doom over Dead man, and the the intro at the end of Beast I AM at my funeral.
Heathens!

No i dont have enough to buy al this awesome great stuff you know amon
Yo damn skippy !!!!!!
Look for lughs gold.
No, I don't have money to buy this crap.
Hell yeah Erick Redbeard in this is awesome, taking 3 of my favorite things Metal, Vikings, and Pro Wrestling 🤘🤘🤘

@@jeromed2 bro what this had nothing to do with the ufc
These guys are so consistent. For years they have had the same sound. Respect
Yeah, H-he did more with less.
If something works (and also sounds awesone) why would you change it?
@@jacintch exactly
First album in yhears i havent found boring, the new one is awesome though!
And without being boring
'A coward thinks he allways lives, when he keeps himself from strive' nice hint to Live Without Regrets
This track reminds me how much I miss Bolt Thrower and how much I hope they would rethink and get back in the saddle.. even if the cannons has faded. With a few more listens, this could end up being my new favorite AA track.
First thing it reminded me off was Bolt Thrower as well! Great song. AA rarely misses the plank.
Same! Love the BT influence and yet they still manage to make it their own. I'm older now and AA is the only band I'll venture out to see nowadays.,
The world needs Bolt thrower.
I got my first tattoo a couple of months ago. The skull from In Battle there is no Law. Bolt Thrower was and is the best band and the best thing to happen to music, MAN i fucking love BT
Sadly never going to happen after the passing of their drummer, but vocalist Karl Willets put together a new band with the same spirit - Memoriam are definitely worth checking out
The Vikings have reached the apocalypse, Mad Max featuring Vikings.
The bearded warrrior in the ring calling out his next opponent reminds me of Loki😀
Hiw did you comment 11 hrs before release? Preview?
Lol! It is truly like Mad Max featuring vikings. 😂😂😂
The next coming era! 🐺
🕯️🔥🔥🤘🙏🤘🔥🔥🕯️
Max Cavalera?
I'm not going to lie, this is an amazing track. I loved it. It feels more classic and aggressive, like With Oden on Our Side, Versus the World, and Twilight of the Thunder God.

(I say that as someone who has loved Father of the Wolf, Jomsviking, and Berserkr. They are amazing too. But every piece of art is different.)
Great Heathen Army is looking to be absolutely amazing.
You mean, it feels like literally EVERY other Amon Amarth song ever? No! Never! Not Amon Amarth!
@@9hk38f Hah, fair! Didn't mean anything negative by it.

@@Dominator046 There is no Album called Father of the wolf. That is a song title from the album Deceiver of The Gods...
@@Kalmah-ic5nf Oh shit, you're right. My B.
Love all Amon from Once Sent From The Golden Hall to now....band never disappoints...
Holy floki lets go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Some BOLT THROWER vibes in this song and I LOVE IT! 🤘🤘🤘
100%! I'm surprised it doesn't get mentioned more often.
Fue la primera banda que se me vino a la cabeza cuando escuchaba la canción
100%
nice to see a real pro wrestler. A known fan of AA. Eric redbeard as I call him
It's true! Amazing lines and riffs!!!!
Awesome track, i get some massive Twilight flashbacks. Having Erick Redbeard in the video is incredible, the man is a massive metal head that was wearing a different band shirt every week when he was in WWE
Love it. Always been a fan of Eric Redbeard / Rowan as a wrestler too so that’s and added bonus for the video!
#ErikFuckingRowan. 🤣😂🤘😎🤘
BIG RED!
Its redbeard!! 😆
Hope this becomes his official entrance music.
@@justincredible4139 #ErickRowan is not in #Wrestling anymore. Not even in #Aew either
So glad that Erick gets to be a part of this video. Brodie will never be forgotten.
Now that’s what I’m talking seeing this and seeing Erick Redbeard on here is definitely more epic to see 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Mad Max: Amon Amarth
Not one of my Fav songs from them but that last line was the most metal thing i have ever heard.
Awesome vikings!!! Cheers from Brazil!!!🤘🤘
É isso aí menó, tem que vir pro Brasil (+55). 😎
_How did TH-cam not notify me when they released this song? man, what an amazing sound. In short, the clip is amazing and so is the music_
This has very much a Bolt thrower feel to it. Listened to them in the nineties, so Amon Amarth was the next logical step for me of course
I was thinking the exact same thing lol, very bolt thrower like
Yup very Bolt Thrower lite. If you can use the word lite when speaking of Amon Amarth. It's just not the same sound. I still fucking love Bolt Thrower.
Yeah, the intro sounds like For Victory.
Honour Valour Pride for sure
I'd say 'when glory beckons' imho
2:04 some old school amon amarth! yeah baby, goosebumps!
heavy Fate of Norns era vibe to it and i'm here for it!
Warriors who enter the ring, only one can leave. brutal song ⚔️
🤘🤘
The coward thinks he'll always live
If he keeps himself from strife
But old age leaves him not in peace
@@ladymetalhead5889 O.O
It's nice, but not as loud as PCPs F**k Off and D*e... th-cam.com/video/Qnsw8o2-Cbo/w-d-xo.html
Man nearly had forgotten about Bolt Thrower! EPIC gotta get blasting!
This next album is gonna kick ass.
These guys have been a favorite of mine for my entire adult life
yes
One of my favorites for a long time as well!
//Lyrics:
You smile at me through lying teeth
Then you talk behind my back
You think I'm blind, that I don't see
The mask you wear begins to crack
Your words bore me to death
You're a wasp without a sting
When you're done wasting breath
You can find me in the ring
Bring it on
If you dare
Will you run
Are you scared
I'm waiting here so come at me
Let's fight it out man to man
If you flee your fate is sealed
Get in the ring, make your stand
The coward thinks he'll always live
If he keeps himself from strife
But old age leaves him not in peace
Though the spears may spare his life
The fool thinks that he knows it all
While he sits in sheltered nest
Lost for words when reality calls
As he's put to the test
Your slander shows your inner fear
Hiding behind words of spite
But the Heathen law is clear
I challenge you to a fight
Choose blade, sword or axe
It doesn't matter what you bring
When the sun begins to wax
Come find me in the ring
Bring it on
Nowhere to hide
Time to face
Your demise
I'm waiting here so come at me
Let's fight it out man to man
If you flee your fate is sealed
You'll die by my hand
You're a dog without a bite
And your taunts are uninspired
It's better that you stand and fight
'Cause if you run you'll only die tired
//more space = longer vocal breaks. Great Song, I love it.
Ty 🕯️🙏🤘🙏🕯️
Thank you so much 😉
The video has subtitles 😉
Thanks...but I've got closed captioning. lol
Wow Shakespeare shit right there. Mr Hegg cannot be surpassed as a lyricist. Maybe Pink needs some help. What guff.
This crew always gives surprises!!! Good track. Soms parts remind me of Bolt Thrower!!
This song is really good.
I am looking forward to the new album.
one of... the best, music videos I watch semi-regularly. It brings inspiration to reality on the fact that the people Johan sings about are everywhere, some are good at it, some are not!

Sounds like a tribute to Bolt Thrower. I dig it!
You guys have no idea how much i need this music right now, keep on going, you guys are saviours
So badassery 🤘💪⚔️
Love this band! Great music and I weirdly love the singer!
amzing song, great video & good Erick Rowan perfonmance like a modern berserker🤘
Erick Redbeard's face needs to be on the CD or the back of the album when it fully comes out.
I agree
My jaw dropped with the "Live Without Regrets" callback. This one's a certified banger.
?
Absolutely loved that.
'Though spears may spare his life' its a famous extract from a norse saga but yes well spotted it's in live without regrets. 😉
@@jonnymingo8386 Go listen to the song.
@@johnhaworth7034 It's a callback to Hávamál which means "words of the high one." It's similar to the book of proverbs in the bible. Not really a saga, at least by what I petsonally would consider a saga to be.
Pure gladiator music!!!!!!!
I will only say that the song and the video are incredible. You guys always outdo yourselves!!!!!
Amon Amarth + Erick Readbeard: *AWESOME*
One word.... BRUTAAAALLL 🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾
Hail! Great song guys
Amon Amarth has upgraded to post apocalyptic viking metal.
i though the same
With current fuel prices we're gonna be fighting for it like Mad Max lol
I have absolute 0 doubts!
This is not viking metal x')
Viking metal is a mixture of heavy and black metal with folk metal elements.
Ereb altor, bathory, thyrfing and some others bands are "Viking metal" if we consider this genre to even exist.
Amon amarth is melodic death metal/death metal.

Finally someone gets where that is taken from.
Correct. And why its found in two seperate songs. Lot of people on here are gonna think it's a mistake
And another one! Cant wait for the album and tour
*Keep streaming, this band deserve to reach heights on fame.*
Amon Amarth is the best in the world.
Really Amon Amarth 🤘. Sounds Amazing! 🤘
Joseph Ruud in an Amon Amarth Video, couldn´t be anymore fitting 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Very good main riff! Great melodic part, Johans sounds great.
A mix between early AA and their later polish, but really closer to the good old days.
Good release!
Agreed. Sounds great
Also sounds a lot like Bolt Thrower
Agreed. Definitley sounds like it could have been on The Avenger or The Crusher, early 2000's era.

I'm a know-nothing, but I'm going to look up those two sagas. Already saving the basics to my bookmarks folder.
The filming the instrumentals the everything is just soooo brutal!! ALL HAIL AMON AMARTH
Viking Metal Gods!
amazing !!!!

Amazing work as always!!!
Abrazo Mexicano!!!

Sick riff with cool references to the havamal, overall amazing song
Amon Amarth never disappoint 🤘🏻🔥🤘🏻
I.said the same.thing
Amon Amarth consistently disappoints. I loved this band in their golden age but with a few exceptions they've been trying to recreate the magic of Twilight of the Thunder God for a decade with depreciating values every time.

same here!!
awesome just awesome
These are the outlaws from the game ELEX! :) That armor at 0:15 looks like the outlaw captain one in the game. Some Mad Max vibes too. Dropped a huge like.🤘🤘
Johan's voice!!!! it sounds so good :D
This is a best-of-Amon Amarth in one song. Straight forward badass singalong headbanger, simple but effective bangalot!
Pure fun! Great!
Nice FPV/Drone work! Boom
Amon amarth never dissapoints
Love seeing Erick Redbeard in this! Seeing him come out every week on SD wondering what metal shirt he was going to wear was always fun for me
Dear Odin, I already can feel the spirit for some good moshpits with this song ❤️🤘🏼
I love everything about this. WELL DONE BOYS. Sign me up for the Heathen Army!!
I'm so so so Happy for Eric Rowan, he was every friday on SmackDown wearing a Band's Tee and now he is finally in an Amon Amarth's video.
Amon Amarth and Mad Max atmosphere!!!! I really like it 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Happy to see them live in October with Machine Head. Strong package!
2022 is shaping up to be a stunning year for new releases.
We've Sakis Tolis, Eluviete, Septicflesh, behemoth, massacre , Amon Amarth saor, bleeds from within , all released/ releasing bloody good new stuff . Take my money .
it's like I time-traveled 10 (5) years in to the future!
My thoughts exactly lol
"Get in the Ring" is the perfect title and theme for Erick Redbeard(Rowan) to participate in... this is a true Vikings reunion... INSANE!!!🤘🏼😎🤘🏼
I thought that was him! Badass!
Nice seeing Erik Redbeard again! just awesome!
Most Iconic Melodeath bands
Fantastic tonal changes and modulations,easy form but fantastic feel
This is life, living in the moment. No cell phone or camera in sight. Enjoying nature, outdoor activities and live music. Is this Nirvana?
