Re: Amon Amarth Arise!
I've decided to start an Amon Amarth thread, I know I'll likely be the only one to use it but I dont give a fuck, thats ok with me 
This mighty band is one of my number 1's! They just kickass continuously album after album, I'm gonna start posting songs with their lyrics, might as well start with an early album 
I'm wrecked the now so its hard to type, but I wanna say the production quality improve album after album cause they have more success and have better opportuinties to record their work, so their earlier albums sound a hell of a lot less polished than their later ones.
Anyway, without further ado...
Amon Amarth.
*the lyrics in this video are wrong, sound like the guy who made it tried to transcribe it himself...
"No macy was shown" for example instead of No mercy...
Re: Amon Amarth Arise!
They are from Scandanavia by the way and write about Vikings and Norse mythology.
THE LAST WITH PAGAN BLOOD
We storm ahead with swords and shields
For victory we ride
We fight the world on these battlefields
To re-erect the pagan pride
We draw the blood of those in our way
It's victory or die!
With pounding, raging fury we slay
The Christian hounds will pay!
Charge ahead, no retreat
No mercy, none shall live
To us there is no defeat
No remorse to give
A wind of power blows from the north
The enemy shivers to the core
We slay with strength, pushing forth
Silence before the storm
The gates of Valhalla open up
The ground beneath us shakes
As Odin leads the Gods to war
The Rainbow Bridge creaks!
Nothing can stop this final attack
We carve up all in our path
Now there is no turning back
Final battle is here at last!
A feast awaits us when we return
Awaiting all that fought in wrath
By the long fires we sit in glory
And beer will cool our soar throats
We are few but strong in will
The last with pagan blood
We fought the world with burning steel
Now we sit in Hall of Gods
Pride and glory in our hearts
Pride and glory in our hearts
Re: Amon Amarth Arise!
Hard as fuck and indisputable masterpiece.
"Shut him up and hang...him...high!"
THE SOUND OF EIGHT HOOVES
He's running through the woods so black
A loyal servant of Christ
Dogs are barking down his back
He's running for his life
He came with words of love and peace
These heathens had to be saved
He thought that he could make them see
Instead he was enslaved
In captivity he spoke of god
To all he met he preached
But when his master's patience ran out
He knew he had to flee
Tears are running down his cheeks
As he sobbing realizes
That in this land his god is weak
And today he's going to die
He stumbles out onto an open field
Where an old oak tree grows
In the branches hang men of three
Dressed in preacher robes
His knees refuse to carry him on
Terror shines in his eyes
His faith in Christ is almost gone
His god's left him to die
Below the dead he says his prayers
To the god he thought was alive
When he hears a calm voice say:
"SHUT HIM UP AND HANG HIM HIGH!"
As his breath leaves his eyes open wide
A bright light comes from above
He greets this light with a smile
And thinks: "There is a God"
The sound of eight hooves reaches his ears
Comes from the heavenly light
Two wolves' howls fill his heart with fear
And he sees two ravens fly
Down from the sky a warlord rides
Like fire his one eye glows
And just before the preacher dies
He knows his god is false
Re: Amon Amarth Arise!
One of many anthems... fuckin incredible 
A THOUSAND YEARS OF OPPRESSION
He hung on the windswept world tree
Whose roots no one knows
For nine whole days he hung there pierced
By Gugnir, his spear
Swimming in pain he peered into the depths
And cried out in agony
Reaching out he grasped the runes
Before falling back from the abyss
He gave himself unto himself
In a world of sheering pain
So that we all may live our lives
By the wisdom that he gained
You doubted him, and spread their lies
Across the world, with sword in hand
You raped our souls, and stole our right
All for the words of mild-mannered man
You listened to mild-mannered god
And put your faith in deceitful words
Your powertrip was paid by blood
In kindness' name you spilled our blood
I refuse to submit
To the god you say is kind
I know what's right, and it is time
It's time to fight, and free our minds
Let me die without fear!
As I have lived without it
So shut your mouth and spare my ears
I'm fed up with all your bullshit
After a thousand years of oppression
Let the berserks rise again
Let the world hear these words once more:
"Save us, oh lord, from the wrath of the Norsemen"
"SAVE US OH LORD... FROM THE WRATH OF THE NORSEMEN!!!"
Our spirits were forged in snow and ice
To bend like steel forged over fire
We were not made to bend like reed
Or turn the other cheek
He grasped the runes, they're ours to use
Re: Amon Amarth Arise!
How would you think they compare to, say, Bathory?
It's been a while since I listened to Blood Fire Death, but I recall enjoying it.
I dont know them mate, I'm not a mad death metal head, I just know a few bands, this is isnt just my favourite death metal band, its one of my favourite bands full stop!
Re: Amon Amarth Arise!
Orgasmic intro
TATTERED BANNERS AND BLOODY FLAGS
There comes Lopt, the treacherous
Lusting for revenge
He leads the legions of the dead
Towards the Aesir's realm
They march in full battle dress
With faces grim and pale
Tattered banners and bloody flags
Rusty spears and blades
Cries ring out, loud and harsh
From cracked and broken horns
Long forgotten battle cries
In strange and foreign tongues
Spear and sword clash rhythmically
Against the broken shields they beat
They bring their hate and anarchy
Onto Vigrid's battlefield
There comes Lopt, the treacherous
He stands against the gods
His army grim and ravenous
Lusting for their blood
Nowhere is longer safe
The earth moves under our feet
The great world tree Yggorasil
Trembles to its roots
Sons of muspel gird the field
Behind them Midgaard burns
Hrym's horde march from Nifelheim
And the Fenris wolf returns
Heimdal grips the Giallarhorn
He sounds that dreaded note
Oden rides to quest the Norns
But their web is torn
The Aesir rides out to war
With armor shining bright
Followed by the Einherjer
See valkyries ride
Nowhere is longer safe
The earth moves under our feet
The great world tree Yggorasil
Trembles to its roots
Sons of muspel gird the field
Behind them Midgaard burns
Hrym's horde march from Nifelheim
And the Fenris wolf returns
Re: Amon Amarth Arise!
My favourite off the latest album. Seen these motherfuckers live last week with a knackered neck, I was in agony all day, but when they played this 2nd it was soon forgotten and couldnt stop my head banging away
LIVE WITHOUT REGRETS
From birth we're taught
How to survive.
We're taught how war is waged!
And there are no men now alive
Who stop our wild rampage!
Light at heart we bide our bane
Whatever death awaits.
Norsemen live without regrets,
We accept our woven fate.
So fearlessly we charge ahead,
There is no time to hesitate.
Don't despair, show no fear,
Live your life without regrets.
Don't despair and show no fear
In the face of a certain death!
A coward thinks he'll always live
If he keeps himself from strife;
Old age leaves no rest and peace,
Though spears may spare his life.
We don't mourn
A friend that fell
Or dread the day
We'll fall ourselves.
Warriors don't go to Hell,
'Cause we know
Ygg will greet us well.
So fearlessly we charge ahead,
There is no time to hesitate.
Don't despair, show no fear,
Live your life without regrets.
Don't despair and show no fear
In the face of a certain death!
So raise your horns
To those who died.
Let's drink to
Fallen friends tonight.
Let's celebrate their glory life.
We'll meet again in Valhall
When we die!
When we die!
When we die!
