    The best metal video ever. The guitar player's face, the singer screaming at his own face, the singer deploying his dragon wings, the bass player looking dead and the knight scene at the end. And once again, the guitar player's face.

      Haha it definitely rivals immortal for pure shlock, it's great, that face is Abbath status for sure. Don't forget that sick ass bend crazy solo.
      The rival element faces too hahah
      Even after a decade I still dig this song, I think the quasi-Lemmy chorus helped non-metalheads ingratiate a little better and got them big
      But it's basically only bands like Amon Amarth that went full Dethklok and got massive based purely on how kickass they are without turning into radio friendly rock BS

    The complete lyrics of this song:
    My name is equal to that of destruction
    My kingdom is built on
    (The ruins of) holy demise
    The gods are brought down
    By the hand of a mortal
    My name will spawn legends
    I ascend to the skies
    Through time and space
    We travel dimensions for eternity
    We walk the path of the ancients
    And leave mortality
    Cosmic ascendant, rise to the stars
    and give us the powers we crave
    I carry the ring of ancient might
    the symbol of the beast and your blood
    I reap the world on reptilian wings
    and never look back
    Forever shall I be remembered
    as the ruler of the gods
    Enjoy!

    Wow. I remember stumbling across this a long time ago (probably when it was released) and I thought it was awful. That's because I was a young lad and had yet to explore other forms of metal. I now appreciate it alot more and shall explore deeper on Spotify. Thank you and goodnight.

    The video is pure comedy but the song is awesome. And I think the vocals are perfect.
