Meadfest [Verse 1] Raise your horns to good days, when Thor swings his hammer Calls all the gods to the feast, from which the true mead flows The skalds1 sing of the old times, the horns are filled Today we want to prepare a good thing for ourselves, up and freshly brewed [Chorus] At a Meadfest (Meadfest) Allow yourselves to indulge, you revelers At a Meadfest (Meadfest) Allow yourselves to indulge in some full mugs At the Meadfest (Meadfest) Get along with every lowlife Because who needs enemies With friends like these? [Verse 2] It is the mead, that makes us battle-brothers in spirit Every feud, every hostility flows away for one night So at every opportunity, we seize the chance2 We stuff the brewed and the roasted3 into ourselves by the bucketful [Chorus] So you'd better hold onto your mead (onto your mead) Allow yourselves to indulge, you revelers At a Meadfest (Meadfest) Allow yourselves to indulge in some full mugs At the Meadfest (Meadfest) Get along with every lowlife Because who needs enemies With friends like these? (Meadfest) (Meadfest) [Verse 3] Now we tired, old and wise. Leave everything behind us We enjoy, quietly and slowly, high culture and true art Only here and there a full snifter, or even a second? At every occasion and conversation, some posh small talk [Chorus 3] I want to go immediately to a Meadfest Allow yourselves to indulge, you revelers At a Meadfest (Meadfest) Allow yourselves to indulge in some full mugs At the Meadfest (Meadfest) Get along with every lowlife Because who needs enemies With friends like these? (Meadfest) (Meadfest) So you'd better hold onto your mead (onto your mead) Because we're in town And who needs enemies With friends like these?
You have only seen a small part of our German Medieval (Metal) Scene yet...check out CORVUS CORAX,IN EXTREMO,SUBWAY TO SALLY,SALTATIO MORTIS,SCHANDMAUL,SCHELMISH,FAUN,CULTUS FEROX etc......
Cultus is new one for my list I had not seen that name before. I seem to pick up a new name every couple of months after following threads from other bands on TH-cam.
They definitely have a fun vibe, and there is a comedic element to the band in general, you should check out the song Schubsetanz next. In fact if you like humourous bands but that still have great music, then you should react to Gloryhammer. 🤘🏻🙂
In case you didn't know. Metfest= Met ( honeywhine with alcohol ) Fest= Festival They are saying " ich will jetzt auf ein metfest, wich means i wanna go to a metfest right now. But at 04:30 they say " haltet besser euren Met fest" The meaning is: You better hold your Met tight. Funny how the same words mean different things when they are not written together
I love your misspronounciation of Metfest as Mettfest. Mer is pronounced with an elongated Ehh simmilar to it's english equivalent mead. Mett on the other hand is a german 'spread for bread', in need of celebration.
Meadfest
[Verse 1]
Raise your horns to good days, when Thor swings his hammer
Calls all the gods to the feast, from which the true mead flows
The skalds1 sing of the old times, the horns are filled
Today we want to prepare a good thing for ourselves, up and freshly brewed
[Chorus]
At a Meadfest (Meadfest)
Allow yourselves to indulge, you revelers
At a Meadfest (Meadfest)
Allow yourselves to indulge in some full mugs
At the Meadfest (Meadfest)
Get along with every lowlife
Because who needs enemies
With friends like these?
[Verse 2]
It is the mead, that makes us battle-brothers in spirit
Every feud, every hostility flows away for one night
So at every opportunity, we seize the chance2
We stuff the brewed and the roasted3 into ourselves by the bucketful
[Chorus]
So you'd better hold onto your mead (onto your mead)
Allow yourselves to indulge, you revelers
At a Meadfest (Meadfest)
Allow yourselves to indulge in some full mugs
At the Meadfest (Meadfest)
Get along with every lowlife
Because who needs enemies
With friends like these?
(Meadfest)
(Meadfest)
[Verse 3]
Now we tired, old and wise. Leave everything behind us
We enjoy, quietly and slowly, high culture and true art
Only here and there a full snifter, or even a second?
At every occasion and conversation, some posh small talk
[Chorus 3]
I want to go immediately to a Meadfest
Allow yourselves to indulge, you revelers
At a Meadfest (Meadfest)
Allow yourselves to indulge in some full mugs
At the Meadfest (Meadfest)
Get along with every lowlife
Because who needs enemies
With friends like these?
(Meadfest)
(Meadfest)
So you'd better hold onto your mead (onto your mead)
Because we're in town
And who needs enemies
With friends like these?

Thank you for listening to my request. Nice greetings from Germany

If you consider Gloryhammer for react, please take your time, and do the full albums on gloryhammer :D its one big story and its totally worth it
I definitely second Schubsetanz!
If you want to see them live, you have to come to Germany after the pandemic XD
And yes, they are very funny on stage.
it's been the song for this festival - very good show, very good other bands and very good mead - has been a very nice evening :-)

Nice reaction I love most of there songs you should react to I See Fire - Feuerschwanz a Ed Sheeran cover.
In case you didn't know.
Metfest= Met ( honeywhine with alcohol )
Fest= Festival
They are saying " ich will jetzt auf ein metfest, wich means i wanna go to a metfest right now.
But at 04:30 they say
" haltet besser euren Met fest"
The meaning is:
You better hold your Met tight.
Funny how the same words mean different things when they are not written together

I love your misspronounciation of Metfest as Mettfest.
Mer is pronounced with an elongated Ehh simmilar to it's english equivalent mead.
Mett on the other hand is a german 'spread for bread', in need of celebration.
