Sorry guys! At Edington (the battle mentioned at the end) Viking king Guthrum lost the day and Alfred the Great, king of the Saxons won the battle and forced Guthrum to convert.

[@andersbardeman5071]

Saxon...from my upbringing and Amon Amarth that i have discovered recently. Love it!!🤟

[@11alpha48]

As an American, I have to admit that among bands from the New Wave of British Heavy Metal in the 1970s/80s, Saxon never reached the same level of success here as bands like Iron Maiden and Judas Priest. I'd heard a song here or there, but I wasn't too familiar with them. This video makes me want to go back and give their catalog a better look, so thanks to Amon Amarth for that and a great collaboration.

[@spartacusptolemaida]

That's exactly what I was thinking. Not enough credit given. Byford's metal scream is insane! True heavy metal.

[@jimharris367]

Saxon are true Metal Gods 🤘

[@jimharris367]

Of coarse, the Vikings ultimately lost in the battle to take Wessex (where I live) from King Alfred 🤘

[@K1NGD0M]

Violent Night is my favorite Christmas Movie of all time, David Harbour did a phenominal job being Santa in the film!

[@mmoses2991]

This is why I watch you guys. To discover stuff like this that I would never hear otherwise

[@johncrwarner]

I have to say even though I was born in Britain and come from the historic Danelaw (the area controlled by the Vikings in the 9th - 11th centuries) and the song is very much about the Saxons and Vikings in Britain. I did think about what is now northern Germany where the Danes built a defensive wall against the Saxons so I am not sure which side would have won especially given King Harold Godwinson defeated Harald Hardrada (often styled the last Viking) before going to the South and losing to William at Hastings (the new style of Vikings - a.k.a. Normans)

[@scul_krushr_games3762]

This song is on the Great Heathen Army album now King Edward died by the Army while King Alfred who was mentioned at the start of the song is the one who beat the army making the Saxons victorious in the battle. King Edward was named Edward the Martyr while King Alfred was named Alfred the Great

[@bradhogan646]

Saw Amon Amarth for the first time at Knotfest in March

[@GabrielVince]

This is like "Beat It" of Heavy Metal

[@Heavymetal16]

Damn they found some look alikes! I was sure i saw Floki and once of ragnars sons! From the tv show Vikings

[@aliyahburnette8018]

Good reaction boys.

[@RoamingThePNW]

Didn't think you guys would like a slightly more classic sound like how when you didn't like Ghost (and Ghost won album of the year at that).

[@BOOSTkdv]

Go Vikings!!

[@thelstanegn5348]

Maiden and Metallica both supported Saxon in the early 80s'

[@nathandjohnny]

Woah!

[@Aethyrs]

the vikings rules inthe end in big part of england

[@jamiecannell5529]

no this battle was won by the Saxons and Wessex was never conquered by the Vikings

[@Jonsson474]

I’ll let you in on a little secret. The battle depicted in this music video never happened. It’s fictional.

[@andresamell9367]

this gives me dragonforce vibes

[@esaedvik]

I hope you watched Rare Exports for xmas :D

[@medioelfo1]

What kind of metalhead doesn't know Saxon?

[@nathandjohnny]

A lot, it seems.

[@esaedvik]

I thought they were taking the piss and didn't know their history (as in anglo-saxons). No clue that was a band :D

[@beleza86]

Yeah I stopped watching this video when these 'metal' guys didn't know who is Saxon

[@nathandjohnny]

@@beleza86 correction: one of us didn’t know them, the other just doesn’t actively listen to them.

[@HellBrYnger]

as a franconian, i despise saxons, i do like the band saxon tho.

[@Matt-ij7pe]

Historically...the Saxons smoked the Vikings--eventually.

[@Jonsson474]

Well eventually, otherwise Britain would be Scandinavian wouldn’t it?

[@Thincrust128]

I just couldn't get into the new album.

[@davidsvensson148]

It's pathetic to see that you don't know its Saxon with Biff when they enters the song. And you call yourself Metal Heads.

[@nathandjohnny]

Sorry. Our “I wanna cry about it” button is broken at the moment.

[@davidsvensson148]

@@nathandjohnny Well it's not me who calls my self a metalhead on youtube
