Sadly not, the singer of this band has a band called Ensiferum though.

Yes

It's a beautiful thing called adrenaline. When that special juice is flowing through your veins, you can do things that normally wouldn't be possible. For instance, playing HS Football, I rolled my ankle BADLY. I couldn't believe I didn't break it. I was running the ball as a tailback and I tried to spin away from a defender when another defender fell on my legs, causing me to roll my ankle while spinning. Anyways, I normally should have come out of the game, but this was Regional Playoffs. Adrenaline was pumping big time, we were winning 20-14 late in 3rd quarter. I refused to come out of the game. I had training staff tape my ankle up and wrap it, and I continued to play. After I rolled my ankle, i went on to rush for 44 more yards and the game winning TD with about 1:10 left in the game. Now, of course I needed a lil help help from training staff with taping/wrapping ankle up and getting treatment while our defense was on field, but let me tell you, after the game, when I finally stopped playing, my ankle was huge, excruciatingly painful. I couldn't walk on it. Adrenaline is an amazing thing.

@@JudasSlays2426 wow what an experience that must have been. And well written too, had me on the edge of my seat no lie haha. Hopefully you didn't get any lasting pain/ankle problems later on, I know I've heard of sports injuries from long ago healing only to come back as problematic later in life. I love hearing about people's stories like this, I'm sure that's a lasting memory you'll keep with you forever, even telling your grandkids or great-grandkids about!

@@Trigotrymancy Thank you for the kind words! Sometimes my writing abilities may be lacking, but I guess I did write the story pretty well.. To be honest, that same ankle does tend to give me a little trouble every now and then, it was the worst possible rolling of the ankle, without snapping any bones or major tendons. I did get lucky in that manner! When it's cold out, especially, is when I can feel the discomfort in the ankle. I still tend to do pretty well every day, regardless. Yes, I honestly VIVIDLY remember that game. I was a pretty fast guy, I also played baseball, soccer, and I wrestled. I was pretty athletic. I didn't play all 4 sports at once, just over the years. Played soccer from about 10-14, baseball I played for a good 10 years, I wrestled for 5 years, and I played football from 14-17. I basically did 3 sports mostly at all times. I was pretty athletic, fast, strong. The football team liked my speed and strength combination so much so, they requested I play both sides of ball. Offensively, I would line up as Tailback or WR (I also had excellent hands from baseball) and on Defense, they would put me either at Safety or any of the LB positions (usually outside LB to have me blitz or track the RB on sweeps/screens). When we had ball on Offense, I was 90% a Tailback, running sweeps, screens, and running it off tackle. My speed and elusiveness is why they loved using me in those roles. We had a bigger bruiser type Tailback but they used him for straight ahead run plays. I remember the Defense was getting gashed by our run game. So the Defense stacked the box, after halftime. Even then, it didn't help too much because I would be thrown a screen and I would run it 15-20 yards. This particular play, I didn't like their Defensive alignment. They had brought their safety in to play the run, I was supposed to run off tackle, I was gonna get nowhere. I look at coach and signal him to their D. Let him know I didn't like that, I suggested a sweep, he had our QB audible out to the sweep. Well, the other RB was supposed to hustle over and lead block for me. He didn't. Idk if he missed the signal and audible or what, but I was hit by defender 3 yards behind the line, but was able to slip it. That slowed me down just enough. I gained about 3 yards and then I tried to spin away from their Safety and that's when I think a LB dove and came down on my leg while I was trying to spin away. I couldn't believe it wasn't broken. Initially, I thought it was worse than it was. I had help getting to my feet, I wasn't coming out of that game for anything, unless I just couldn't go, but I was not coming out. I just kept walking a bit to help loosen it up some, show the coaches I could still play. I allowed HC to take me out long enough to get the ankle taped and wrapped. Once I got that done, I popped up and started walking on it. From there onto end of game, I only played on offense. When on defense, that's when I got treatment on it and staff helped keep it loose. HC had made sure for rest of game, our bigger RB didn't miss one more block when I was running the ball. It makes all the difference, but reason why I was able to rush for almost 50 more yards and scored the game winner (at that point, we were down 21-20). Scoring with a little over 1 minute left, was one of the greatest feelings I've ever experienced! Adrenaline pumping, crowd is loud and yelling, Regional Playoff game. All of that kept powering me on. Our crowd was going nuts when I scored. Getting goosebumps right now thinking about it lol. Sorry for the storybook, but I wanted to best describe it all to you, the best I could. Thanks for the interest! I haven't told that story in probably 10 years..

Slava urine 😂😂

It has been a bit lacking lately. Have you found anything good lately? I want some new Kalmah.

@@thevillageyid I've kind of moved on from melodic death, haven't heard a lot of good music in the genre lately. I don't know if you've ever looked into melodic black/blackened death but there's some good music there too. I could recommend some classics in case you've never listened to it: Unanimated - ancient god of evil (melodic blackened death) Naglfar - Vittra (melodic black) Vinterland - Welcome my last chapter (melodic black) Eucharist - A velvet creation (melodic death) Windir - 1184 (Folky melodic black with a lot of synth) Sinira - The everlorn (Melodic death/black, basically sounds like Dissection) Skyfire - Spectral (melodic death, kind of like Children of Bodom) I'm sure you already know them but I'm going to list the obvious bands anyways: Carcass, Edge of Sanity, Children of Bodom & Be'lakor.
