Heathens! Have you pre-ordered THE GREAT HEATHEN ARMY yet? Special edition box sets, vinyl, and apparel are still available on www.metalblade.com/amonamarth/ while supplies last! THE GREAT HEATHEN ARMY arrives August 5th ⚔️🛡
I'm going to donate blood this weekend to get a gift card to pre-order this. I'm putting the new Tyr DVD and GWAR CD on hold in favor of ordering this. Metalblade why you gotta make me choose?
The vocalist is the most well enunciating gutteral vocalist I've ever heard. Not screams or fries or anything, but straight up gutterals, and they are almost clear as day.
not going to lie... am digging this hard...and i have grandkids.. the grand daughter loves this and she is going into first grade!!! all hail the future metal heads keeping it all alive...
First time listening: "Cool! New Amon Amarth track. Metaaal!" 6-th time listening: "METAAAAAAAL!!!!!!!! MASTERPICE! THE GREAT HEATHEN ARMY" 10-th time listening: "Studying the map of roman lands to conquire"
@@georgdohner1710 nooo his voice is like Nergal's from Behemoth. And they sing about rome which is shit. And the vocalist doesn't have true beard and hairs
They are one of my all time favorite bands. Funny thing is every time I first hear new material from them I’m underwhelmed, but by the end of the song I’m enthralled by the epic nature of their music. They are truly among the best of what Metal has to offer.
I used to be a fan from their very first time album "Once Sent From The Golden Hall' onto modern material but I started to grow bored with Jomsvking being quite a letdown up to mid album. And then? They seem to have lost all that energy that made them so enjoyable. Fortunately older albums still work with me but that new song shows me no wrong, their best years are now behind them. Period.
@@s_t_s4846 You're not the only one feeling like they've lost that "spark". "Deceiver of the Gods" is the last album I'm able to listen though I still think that their best works are first four albums with that energy, ferocity and epicness. Now it's just... meh.
Side note.. Can we all just take a moment to appreciate how beastly johans voice has become over the years.. okay sometimes live audiences can be a struggle sometimes with everything else going on but in the studio this man absolutely demolished the microphone with his berserker like tones and the heavy rhythms amon amarth hold just bolster that forever more ᚬᛏᛁᚾ᛫ᛋᛘᛁᛚᛅ᛫ᚢᛒᚬᚾ᛫ᛁᚬᚢ Really cannot wait to see you guys in September ♥ its gonna be epic
**First day at school** Students (thinking): Wonder how our History teacher is gonna be like... The History teacher (growls): "In eight hundred sixty-five, the year of our lord..." Students: "Holy Sh-- !"
The darkest song of the last 9 years of Amon amarth, what great surprise from one of my all-time favorite bands, I listen AA since I was 16 years old... This will be an epic album! Hail to the gods, hail AA!
BY GREAT ODINS BEARD! This is absolutely amazing so so good!!!! My wife and I saw you guys in MD USA for the Berserker tour, you guys are my favorite band! Would love to see you guys on tour again for this new album it’s so amazing so far! Would you guys do a great Heathen army tour with bands like Unleashed, maybe Tyr, and definitely ensiferem and enslaved!
That would be probably the best concert I could ever see, and I've seen a lot. We don't get many European metal bands in Western Canada. Hopefully I at the very least get to see Amon Amarth eventually.
I saw them a few years ago in MD when they opened for Megadeth. If they toured with Unleashed I would die!!!! (I'd go to the concert first,though😊). ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Been listening to this band since 1998,the song Death In fire was the first song I heard off a heavy metal compilation CD of different death/black metal bands and that song by a band I'd never heard of before(at the time)Amon Amarths death in fire was by far the best band/song on an album with a dozen other songs from a different band on every track.
My first AA song was The Persuit of Vikings. Date of Norns album and I fell in love. I was at a Halo lan party that ran through two stories of the house and we had metal blasting while we ate pizza and played Halo. Pursuit of Vikings came on and I stopped playing and was like “….what is this..who is this??”
You guys never disappoint. Thank you guys for the badass music and all your efforts. King Harold would undoubtedly of had your music on blast if it existed in 1065.
I met Amon Amarth back in 2011, since then I haven't been able to see them live yet, but I bought all the records. I hope to see you soon. Keep going vikings! Long Live to Metal
_The Vanir felt deceived_ _Hœnir was a fool_ _without Mimir at his side_ _Hœnir could not rule_ _in a fit of violent rage_ _Mimir's blood was shed_ _and to Odin's court they sent_ _Mimir's severed head!_
Kiiiing, amazing Metaaaal! I made a video on the top battles against the great heathen army, but love listening to your music more than watching my video 😂🤘
Fortunate enough to meet the band in 2019 on the berserker tour and got to see Amon amarth again this yr a couple of weeks ago and as ever they killed it 🤘😝🤘⚔️⚔️
If it works, don't change it. I am so glad you guys keep delivering a solid album again and again unlike other bands that proclaim they are evolving but in reality steer to radio friendly pop shit (I am looking at you In Flames).
This is the best distinguished track they have done as a single in years, where its a slow kick ass tempo and doesnt sound cheesy n clear by the numbers made for festivals like row is. This is def a great track \\m//
By the asgardian gods this is fire 🔥 🤘 I'm a hardcore AA fan since years and that's why. They can even improve, while they almost reached perfection 🤘🤘🤘
@@Jack-ju4iw Travis Ryan from cattle decapitation or Charles Elliott from abysmal dawn and Jeff walker from carcass all on par easily if not better in Charles case because of the speed they play
Please, please tell me that that board game is in the works... Awesome song. I've been listening to it practically nonstop. Love the switch in narrative of the song, from the viewpoint of the British. Clever and brutal.
It is the sound of Amon Amarth finally! Hegg has sometimes even the demon type of his vocals that was used to be in Amon Amarth. Great come back of Amon Amarth. Hail The Great Heathen Army🤘!
One of the things most overlooked is how much of an Exploration group Vikings were as well. Things like North America, Finland, Greenland, The Silken Trail in China, the Mediterranean, etc. As a matter of fact, Dublin, Ireland was originally a Viking port. It was burned to the ground and rebuilt by Viking and long held the city as a trading port.
Most of the Norse were farmers and traders. Very few of them actually raided, and even the amount of raids has been vastly overstated. They were actually very civilized and made huge waves in seafaring technology and trade routes.
Nor to mention the vikings were actually traders and its been proven that they even traded with the alaskan inuit natives as well. Yes, they were fierce warriors and conquerors but above all they remined humble, and extremely family oriented. Tbh the time of their invasion on england was around the time of catholic crusades and the catholic church attempted to convert them, they resisted. then was attacked, they merely responded to the transgression. Slavery has followed behind every conquered peoples regardless of qho was conquering rember the romans as heathens how about the romans the romans as catholic. The persians conquered and enslaved its how its always been. the strong conquer the weak, the weak do the bidding of the strong. The silver for your pockets, the gold for the gods.
Historic anecdotes aside, I enjoyed this song, but I hope the other album tracks we have yet to hear are faster and more fierce than these first 2 tracks they’ve shared with us. We Amon Amarth fans deserve a rager of an album!
Amon Amarth es la única Banda que no dejo de escuchar desde hace 12 años que los empece a escuchar! Siempre estoy a la espera de su música y ahora este gran tema 🔥🫡🤘🏻🤘🏻y aparte la voz de Johan para mi el mejor vocalista de voces guturales brutal!
Heathens!

Of all the bad times to be broke. I just may have to sell a few things.

Skol!

Yep...that's our Johan Hegg
He sounds like cookie monster
Him and Christian Älvestam, and both are coincidently from Sweden
@Darth Redbeard I second this
Mikael Stanne from Dark Tranquillity, too. I can always understand him clear as day.
not going to lie... am digging this hard...and i have grandkids.. the grand daughter loves this and she is going into first grade!!! all hail the future metal heads keeping it all alive...
And thank you for keeping Heavy Metal alive through your progeny! SKOL!
Yup, taking my 10 year old to see them very soon.
I smell cap
Our job is to keep passing metal from one generation to another...and so on...
Thank you for doing your part. My son is a metal warrior.
Metal will never die

@@Imrael69 Well you can only repeat the exact same material before it becomes stale, I'm amazed by how long they managed to keep it interesting :)
underwhelmed is a good word to use. because all their shit since like Fate of Norns or With Odin sounds exactly the same.
I think this is one of the weaker songs on the album tbhj
🤘🏻 Got into AA in high school, and I’m glad they’ve stuck with me all these years.
Same here
Same
Collage days and never looked back since.. amon rule
Discovered them in 2006 and have never looked back.

Saw the show in Charlotte last night. Phenomenal. I'm ready for the next tour.
Please tell me this board game is a legit thing........I wanna buy it
Straight heavy metal extreme this band
Hey! Where can I get that board game? 🎲🪓🛡🏹🤘
"Juego de mesa"
A fantastic fresh up to their music!!!! GORGEOUS!!!
What an amazing song! Excellent work!
Loving the stringer things vibe
The Viking warriors are old, but stronger than ever.

One of the best MDM bands! Great sound, lyrics. Thank's so much for this music!
Love this voice, love these gitars, they are the greatest.
Masterpiece 🔥🤘🏽

This guys never disappoint... every song is awesome and creative with really sick riffs
I'm sure that Odin would be so fucking proud! 🛡⚔
YESSSSS! This is the Amon Amarth style I have missed since the Sutur Rising album
Thats my favorite album!
@@Ken-pl1yc It's definitely a good one. And it's there last best album if you as me. I haven't liked anything past Sutur Rising.
_The Vanir felt deceived_
_Hœnir was a fool_
_without Mimir at his side_
_Hœnir could not rule_
_in a fit of violent rage_
_Mimir's blood was shed_
_and to Odin's court they sent_
_Mimir's severed head!_
Slaves of Fear is awesome, quite fitting for today's times as well.
@@jackmarsh9784 The Last Stand of Frey is not half bad, either
PQP QUE SOM FODA!!! Amon Amarth nunca decepciona!!!
Holy sh*t, just when I needed energy to study for my finals, this appears in my recommended. Thank you Amon Amarth, I can't wait for the full album!
Did anyone notice that Ted (the bassist) is rocking the Mandalorian's ''shoulder" belt for his bass guitar? I'm on ya, Ted. :D

@@hendrikkiefer3325 With Odin On Our Side is when they really refined the recordings but lost that thrash feel.

What a great band, incredible sound!
That big open chord in the verses got me running through walls!
I see the gift of Oor within you brother! Odin's blessings rest upon you indeed!
Someone called me a heathen the other day
I just smiled and said, "Thanks for noticing"
There legend!!!!!!
🤘real viking for ever✊
Ah, another song for the Playlist for the gym!! Yes!!!! Skol!!! 🤟
