Yes in roman times, they were recruited to form ''Germani corporis custodes'' the emperor's personal guard due to the batavi height and equestrian abilities.
This album is a tribute to the dutch tribe of Batavi. The true dutch tribe of old. Like we norwegians tribute the vikings, the dutch tribute the Batavi.
The Tubantes for example where neither Frank nor Frisian and later joint the Saxon union. In early days they did work allot together with the Frisians and functioned as auxiliary troops for the Frisian cavalry stationed at Hadrian's Wall. The Tubantes lived in what is now Twenthe in East Netherlands. The Twents dialect does have some odd links with Frisian (Tw. luk/ Fri. lulk/ NL. iets) even though Twents is an dialect of Low Saxon and was in use before the Latin script was forced on the people.
True :) Before 800, the frisian kingdom stretched down to the Rein. So alot of the dutch where. Part of the northen raiders. The Dutch where raided alot by the Frisians back in the day.
WE VIKINGS ARE A PEOPLE DEAR SIR..do not disparage my heritage..yes in todays world we are not to live in the old ways..that's only common sense..but..i beg to differ..WE ARE A PEOPLE
I like that " Viking is an activity." I can imagine a little kid asking, "Can we go a viking?" As if it were a camping trip. The father saying, " Yea let me grab my gear, do you have that special Ak I got you?" "The one with the bayonet?" "No, the other one." "With the attachable grenade launcher?" "Yea." "Yep, I do, that was a good Birthday, thank you dad :)." "No problem son, be sure to pack a PB&J too. You might get hungry."
interesting. So the Dutch have been very tall for a long time. For those who like music focusing on germanic peoples other than the scandinavians, there's also the English band Forefather, who play music that praises anglo-saxon heritage.
2 people were from the Spanish Inquisition! 152 Germanics are hunting them down in honour of the fallen who have been mercilessly slain by the Inquisition!

Still very good but I think the loss of Sebas will be adjustment for them. I don't see as much folk influence as before.IMO. Still a very good album Hail Heidevolk ! hail Gelderland!
NEITHER YOU OR I DETERMINE THE DEFINITION OF WORDS DEAR MADAM. Sure, people do use the term "Viking" to describe a people but they are simply wrong. I have much love for Scandinavians and would not even dream of disparaging them or their heritage. I assure you, it was NOT my intention to offend you in any way at all and I take no credit away from your awesome past or present.
Wij als Gelderlanders heel trots op dit geweldige band !!!!!!
I love the war chant in this song. It's the Hu hu hu
Ik vroeg mij al af wanneer de mannen een nieuw album uit gingen brengen.

I Fckn loooooooooooooooovvvvvveeeeeeeeee this song! yeh man! ImI
As French, I think if King Radbod had heard this song, he would crush Charles Martel more violently.
It's a great song. I saw it live on Friday :)
But I always want to add another "hu" :/
Sounds pretty fine. I'm looking forward to the new stuff.
Slava to our Germanic brothers!
Yes :P
interesting. So the Dutch have been very tall for a long time.

Good stuff. Seems heavier then their previous albums. Fucking love the "HU".
you right :P and i am an gelderlander( province of netherland)
In het woud gezworen! >:)

Hu! *headbang* Hu! *headbang* Hu! *headbang*

152 Germanics are hunting them down in honour of the fallen who have been mercilessly slain by the Inquisition!
VANAVOND!!!!!!!
Well spoken ;)
HAIL!
in french they sometimes speak of "les Bataves" to speak of the dutch. I guess they were the main germanic tribe in the netherlands ?
Paganfest!!! :D
yesterday in berlin! :D
One species, many races.
Paganfest!
Tomorrow in Belgium :D
thanks for the warning ;)
You always may ;D though I meant that it's my interpretation how it's best translated in English that's all. =)
Just for those wondering free translation here;
Hu hu hu
hu hu x2
In an ancient past a people fought,
brothers divided amongst eachother,
once as one, torn forever
the old order would dissapear
hu hu hu
hu hu x2
oath of blood cut by the sword
division decided by fate
hate and envy, brothers fight
when the tribe splits in two
then our people rises
from the ashes of brotherbond
unity lost
Batavi born
The Dutch are tall relatives of the germans. The germans have been splitten up in vikings, the Dutch and other races.
Paganfest Stuttgart.. Anders mis ik Korpiklaani :p
Mooi nummer, is ook veel technischer geworden bij de drummer en de gitaristen volgens mij.
no the skyrim theme is already epic
@Lexadin Agree on that, but does it really fit with love dedications if you translate the text?
WTF IS HAPPENING TO ME ..... I AM Actually CRYING ! O.o
nederlands dialect, gelderland
Haha! Best, Band, EVER!
Fus Ro Dah !
Just a question, but how is the tale of the ancestral inhabitants of the modernday Dutchmen a dedication to your lass?
The Dutch weren't Viking, but the Frisians were . . .
one could say if you were caught in the act back in the day about the same punishment would happen now...
@fogo18fogo Go to Encyclopedia Metallum and search them. Greatest metal archive there is.
Still very good but I think the loss of Sebas will be adjustment for them. I don't see as much folk influence as before.IMO. Still a very good album Hail Heidevolk ! hail Gelderland!
sa is't en net oars :-)
This song is more awesome than Barney Stinson himself!
hehe You're most welcome.
:)
2 People are NOT VIKINGS who has been CAST OUT from VALHALLA!
Does anybody knows where can I find guitar tabs for this? Thanks
