Runes To My Memory was the first AA song I heard back in 2007 and I fkn loved it. With that being said, I just saw a post about "Viking Metal" and literally thought of this song and here I am lol
One of my favorite things about Amon Amarth is definitely Big J's vocals and how he pronounces every word so you can hear it and follow the story of these songs of sagas \m/ No need to look up the lyrics cause they are stuck in your head after a few playthroughs \m/
Honestly I 1st heard them on a college radio station out of Boston, WERS.. A show called nasty habits.. where I used to record the music to cassette tape around when the Internet was just peaking and I found the last with pagan blood by searching his clear lyrics and my life kind of changed when I found more of their music after that...this was around 1999
01. Beard Awaits Me (00:00) 02. Runes to My Beard (04:43) 03. Asabeard (09:16) 04. Hermod's Beard to Hel - Lokes Treachery Part 1 (12:20) 05. Beards of War Arise (17:00) 06.

The day draws to an end The night comes dark and cold We return to our ships With silver, slaves and gold We gave them agony As they fell and die The gods have granted victory For our sacrifice
I always felt firm that this is the best Amon Amarth album. What i think really set's this album apart from the technical standpoint is the dynamism, range, a lot of original unforgetable riffs, super powerful screams, flawles transitions ...
Amazeballs, now there's some slang I haven't heard in many, many years. Gonna go find a reason to say that in front of the kids so that they can bear witness to the cringe of our generation 😅
the first Amon Amarth album I heard,and I loved it straight away, I played The first track at least 3 more times after first Listening to it , brutal, powerful and melodic,Great album, Great Band
"Asator" 9:16 Thunder rolls across the plains, Thor rides in pouring rain. He rides to Jotumheim to fight Lightning strikes when Mjölner bites. Fire! Burning in his eyes Fire! His hate is pure, see the lightning strike Fire! Burning in his eyes Fire! His hate is pure, see the lightning strike Lightning cracks the blackened sky, Hear the thunder chariot ride All brave men with hearts of war Ride the path of mighty Thor Son of thunder! Lighting strikes Son of thunder! Son of thunder! Thor Arise! Son of thunder! Son Of Oden Thundergod Master of War Asator! [Solo Söderberg] Fire! Burning in his eyes Fire! His hate is pure, see the lightning strike Fire! Burning in his eyes Fire! His hate is pure, see the lightning strike
Runes are magical connected to Odin. Swedes went eastlane, down and formed Kiewriche. and down to Constantinople to be Elite guard, and down to vikings called "Särkland", (shirtland) Middleeast.
Will they ever play "Under The Northern Star" at the Summer Breeze Festival? Perfect hookline. "...and we will long for the summer breeze when we can set our sails" 🤘

Ah yes. When the cracks started to show. But honestly, I underrated this work. It really does start out strong. It deserves more spins than I've given it, for sure.
No matter what activity I'm doing, when this music comes on, I instantly start rowing like my life depends on it and then I stop to remember this is real life and I am on land not a viking ship...
ALBUM OF THE MONTH ●●●●●●● AUGUST 2021 ####### WITH ODEN ON OUR SIDE / Amon Amarth; [Others]🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸 January @ DIVER DOWN / Van Halen; February @ LOVEDRIVE / Scorpions; March @ DEFENDERS OF THE FAITH / Judas Priest; April @ CARAVANSERAI / Carlos Santana; May @ EXODUS / Bob Marley And The Wailers; June @ LIKE A PRAYER / Madonna; July @ KEEP THE FAITH / Bon Jovi;
Odin, Allfather hear my prayers. Give me the strenght to vanquish my enemies, let them meet their maker! Grant me the courage and wisdom to gain acces to valhalla for wich my heart is longing..
Upon hearing "God of War Arise": Western / Central / Northern Europeans / Asians: "HELL YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!" Slavs (who are the subject of the song): "HELL YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!" Americans: "omg omg omg omg CANCEL omgy CANCEL omg slAVrY EvIL omg omg proponetns of SlaVERY omg omg omg CANCEEEEEEEEEEEEEEL!!!"
Please do not equate Valhalla with Norse Heaven. Valhalla is in no way shape or form pleasant. You get murdered every single day and everything you’ve ever loved is forgotten. It’s more like Christian Hell. In Norse culture, HEL ain’t no bad place to be. (Insert AC/DC song here 😂)
Valhall was the ultimate goal for all Norse men, women and boys, and no it was not like the Christian hell...The Norse had no heaven, only the two halls of Glory and Hel. Hel was where people who didn't die in battle ended up. It was neither good nor bad. But Valhall and Folkvang were the two halls where fallen warriors and heroes went to fight, die and feast forever until Ragnarök. Because you have to remember that dying in battle wasn't a bad thing. It was glorious and what the Norse warriors lived for. Basically Norse paradise since the best possible ending for a Norse person was one of the two halls. So it was very much pleasant for them.
@@gundalfthelost1624 I disagree with Kristopher that Valhalla was described as unpleasant per se. But I disagree more with your assertion that "all Norse men, women and boys" wanted to get into Valhalla. As you yourself said, it's just for men killed in battle. And I don't recall any myth even hinting at non-warriors or women actively wanting to get into Valhalla, let alone all of them. It's also very likely that Folkvangr is just another name for Valhalla (just like Freya is likely the same person as Frigg).
Runes To My Memory was the first AA song I heard back in 2007 and I fkn loved it.
With that being said, I just saw a post about "Viking Metal" and literally thought of this song and here I am lol
This is one of those albums that changed my life
I understand why
Hi bro, could you tell how?
Same honestly. Its one of those bands that changed how I saw metal as a genre.
You mean you grew a beard and started a brewery?
100% man, same for me. I still remember exactly where I was the first time I heard it.
One of my favorite things about Amon Amarth is definitely Big J's vocals and how he pronounces every word so you can hear it and follow the story of these songs of sagas \m/ No need to look up the lyrics cause they are stuck in your head after a few playthroughs \m/
I think the enunciation is why i love singing this band's songs so goddamn much. It's far easier than other metal bands because of that

It's nearly impossible to beat this album. Everything about it is nearly flawless. The production rips too.
It is indeed a very good album in any aspect.
This is their best album imo. Brutal, emotional and those melodies are to die for!
I remember back and so, let's enjoy good moments and hope for the following ones that don't let this fade away
@rok84 ye
Agreed
you kidding me? brutal? :D listen to Once Sent from the Golden Hall to hear what Amon Amarth once was capable of!
indeed
01. Beard Awaits Me (00:00)
02. Runes to My Beard (04:43)
03. Asabeard (09:16)
04. Hermod's Beard to Hel - Lokes Treachery Part 1 (12:20)
05. Beards of War Arise (17:00)

07. Cry of the Black Beard (27:37)
08. Under the Northern Beard (31:27)
09. Prediction of Beard (35:44)
This was always my favourite Amon Amarth album. So many gems in here! \m/
It's just amazing. One of the best albums of all time. Beyond metal, any genre, it is perfectly fantastic.
The day draws to an end
The night comes dark and cold
We return to our ships
With silver, slaves and gold
We gave them agony
As they fell and die
The gods have granted victory
For our sacrifice
Killer album, this! I have listened to this record so many times and it never gets old.
If "Runes Carved to my Memory" is not played in my funeral, I'm not coming.
Or just ask to be burned on a boat. Or even better, have your remains scattered over Disneyland but you're not cremated
Yes! Or just thrown to the woods to be some use as bear food... Unfortunately there seems to be a law against any of these.
U mean on a burning boat? WTF
@@Kilteddrumguy lmao
It's actually called runes to my memory js
Still one of the best. Seeing them tour for this when it first came out was one of the best shows of my life
Cry of the black birds!!! Amazing song,even better live!
I always felt firm that this is the best Amon Amarth album.
What i think really set's this album apart from the technical standpoint is the dynamism, range, a lot of original unforgetable riffs, super powerful screams, flawles transitions ...
The breakdown in Under The Northern Star is my favorite guitar piece from the mid 2000s metal pinnacle. One of the last albums I ever bought.
"Versus The World" and "With Oden On Our Side" are my favorites. Every second is godlike. Truly Masterpieces!!
Late to the table on this one... just listened to this album in its entirety. Amazeballs.... every note of it!! Rock on, Y'all!!
Amazeballs, now there's some slang I haven't heard in many, many years. Gonna go find a reason to say that in front of the kids so that they can bear witness to the cringe of our generation 😅
Massive album, top 3 of theirs 💯🔥🔥🔥

AMON AMARTH IS SO FUUUCKKKING UNDERADET 29 years still stand the Band. LEGENDS OF THE NORTH.
With Oden on our Side.
Not underrated at all, they are very successful
Prediction of warfare is such an underrated song
Feels like a holdover from, or like the 1st song made after Fate of Norns
"Asator" 9:16
Thunder rolls across the plains,
Thor rides in pouring rain.
He rides to Jotumheim to fight
Lightning strikes when Mjölner bites.
Fire! Burning in his eyes
Fire! His hate is pure, see the lightning strike
Fire! Burning in his eyes
Fire! His hate is pure, see the lightning strike
Lightning cracks the blackened sky,
Hear the thunder chariot ride
All brave men with hearts of war

Son of thunder!
Thor Arise!
Son of thunder!

Let’s hope Hermod doesn’t take that personally.
Gods of War Arise So powerful !!

I just ordered this on vinyl after a first time listen.
heavent heard that for ten years at least... saw them even live at that tour, good times
My favorite album after Once Sent From The Golden Hall. Fantastic stuff.
I am not the biggest fan of extreme forms of metal music, but this album is a masterpiece!
They will never top this one in my opinion.
they came close with vtw and tottg but haven't been able to reach those heights since
@@mayoite160 Accurate IMO. I would add fate of norns to that list though.
I love a lot of AA albums, both older and the two following ones, but this is their peak, with Versus and Avenger close contenders too.
ONE OF THE BEST!!!🤘
I am amazed at the comments that RAD really great people great album.

My mother listened to this - she instantly grew a beard and a battleaxe spawned in her hand.
YEAH!
The new stuff fells like a meme when I listen to their older albums, they changed so much.
Ah yes. When the cracks started to show. But honestly, I underrated this work. It really does start out strong. It deserves more spins than I've given it, for sure.
THE BEST ALBUM OF AMON, WHITH THIS IM LOVE THE MELODEATH METAL
Runes carved to my fucking memory!! 🤘🤘
Dam rite
My favorite Amon Amarth album! Jomsviking is a close second.
