Amon Amarth - Viking Christmas

[@gungnir8877]

Amon Amarth or not, the song makes my Christmas tree more bearded !!!

[@stripe0371]

Honestly I never thought Amon amarth would attempt Christmas music but I’ve fell in love

[@MatthewJL676]

This is the greatest Christmas carol of all.

[@FakeYourDeath18]

Now this is a proper and genuine Christmas song. Gosh I hate all the generic "Christmas" music today. This song is real!

[@CarlosVazquez-yq8np]

Been listening to amon amarth for over a decade how am I just finding this gem of a Christmas song

[@Feurthan]

It’s not even Amon Amarth.

[@Warlordalexi]

Raise your drinking horns and your swords, my brethren! It's that time of year again!

[@joshdaly7599]

To all the commenters, Amon Amarth have already said in interviews before that this is their song, now shush.

Please provide proof. If not, then stop lying.

[@brianw8417]

Anyone who doesn't think this sounds like Amon Amarth needs to go back and listen to the old Avenger era stuff. This sounds very much like their early work.

[@TheVinlandViking]

That's not Amon Amarth. Anyone could tell that.

[@Ale3x93]

TheVinlandViking Listen to Amon Amarth - Satan Rising (cover included in Deceiver of The Gods deluxe edition) and then come back here and say the same thing. I'm not sure what exactly this song is, but just because it doesn't sound like AA it doesn't mean it's not them.

[@TheVinlandViking]

Ale3x93 . If it wasn't for the drum machine, it would sound like AA... Musically, at least. Johan has a much lower and "gruntier" voice.

[@aaronsmith9801]

my thoughts EXACTLY!!!! Avenger happens to be my most listened to album, oddly enough. Me lovey...

[@str8h81]

Wit Oden On Our Side is my personal favorite.

Weird Al has met his metal match! Best laugh I've had in a long time.

[@TheValknot]

Skuldh, I drink mead and feast for each of the 12 Yule nights. I celebrate Christmas for my step children's sake because that is how they were raised but I prefer to stick to the old beliefs of honoring the solstice and Equinox. Good show on history, have a great yuletide this year.

[@bmet12341]

Love this xmas song by 1 of my fav metal bands long live odin!

[@schink24]

People, if you click on the name "EMG - exclusive metal gems" under the video, you'll see in your address bar that the user who uploaded this video is called "MrMetalSpoof". This has indeed a viking sound similar to the one of Amon Amarth and it also uses guttural vocals, but the fact that it sounds like it could be Amon Amarth doesn't mean it is. This is most likely an awesome spoof for which Amon Amarth was only the influence.

[@kofiosae-attah8314]

This is the best song I've ever heard

[@domuhde]

IT IS Amon Amarth! Do your research!

[@karisumataichou]

It's clearly not Amon Amarth because they make no mention to "waves" in the lyrics.

[@Gloin79]

Now that i think of it, if it wasn't Amon Amarth wouldn't have youtube taken it down already? it has over 100k views and is 5 years old...

[@sabrinereasteel4526]

a merry yule to all! lml

[@chaunaitaeblackwolf3058]

We all know that it is the Viking’s that had God Jul and the Pagans turned it into Yule and then the Saxon’s took and copied from the Pagans...Then the Germans turned it into Merry Christmas with the Santa Clause (which it copied off of Odin and his 4 boars) and added in the Reindeer. And, this was years and years before “Christ” was born then he came along and the Christian and Catholic had to claim him, so here it is. God Jul is what I go by Amon Amarth is fucking awesome 🤘🤘🍻🍺🍻🍖🍞

[@Fitnessmetalviking666]

Maybe i could be Amon Amarth, i mean listen to Johan's voice on their first ep sorrow throughout the nine worlds, it sounds a little bit like this.

[@marcelusdossantos1362]

[@Jertsukka]

@Zsooltking Actually Johan's voice is pretty much pitched down in the albums. You can hear it from his breathing.

[@DashieNegan41]

It's Amon Amarth old school

[@immortaliserwow]

Pretty solid song!

[@Metal_Army]

NICE !!! lol

[@BlackLight1375]

Well actually all those so-called Christmas traditions are coming from the pagan culture... So there's nothing christian about the whole thing, except that they added some bulshits about Jesus and so on.

[@minifeebas8911]

*pagan cultures, as in plural. the romans had saturnalia germans and i think vikings too had yule other european cultures (saxons and such) had their own solstice celebrations. Christianity just put its own celebration on top of that because they needed one for the birth of jesus anyway

[@wobbeller3397]

@@minifeebas8911 vikings were germanic and so were the saxons

[@TheDevilbound]

Christmas IS Christian though. A manufactured mockery of traditions originally to keep the people happy for not feeling having lost all their cultural identity. Yule, however, isn't. It's a different date as well. Midwinter solstice isn't always on the 24th. This year it is on the 22nd of December, for example.

[@minifeebas8911]

@@wobbeller3397 yea forgot the whole spread of the saxons i meant the original inhabitants of great britain and ireland (britons and picts and the like) their mythology is, as far as i know, significantly different from the germanic one

[@minifeebas8911]

@@TheDevilbound pretty sure yule was a period and not a single day afaik they couldnt determine widwinter solstice to the day, so the festivities would have been a week or something

[@TheGoombles]

I'm pretty sure it's still Johan on vocals. Since it's a single made for fun and humor they're not going to pay all the money and spend time adding the different effects.

[@North1123]

whose is this song? it's epic! please tell me who made it! i need information, i need to find them...the riff in chorus gives me chills

[@aexalven]

Of course its not Amon Amarth. Not this style and definitely not the vocals.

[@aaronsmith9801]

Listen to old Amon Amarth, like 10 years ago.

[@aexalven]

dude, no.

[@petersenoah]

aexalven nah dude, it's definitely them. Sorry to break it to you. Old Amon Amarth sounds exactly like this. Guitar tones and vocals.

[@GClarke1234]

aexalven The melody sounds exactly the same in style as what they used to do on all their older stuff

[@misanthropy6690]

Sounds nothing like Once Sent From The Golden Halls. Maybe some shitty EPs when they were known as Scum, but this really doesn't sound like any Amon Amarth album.

[@atlaspowershrugged]

The vocals actually don't sound that different from some older Amon Amarth songs. Still, odd that they would make no mention of it on their website.

[@JahnosSardonis]

Does anyone know the name of this album? I can't find the song on Spotify. Trying to create a Playlist.

[@PerryMason123]

Yeah this isn't Amon Amarth. Vocalist does not sound like Johann Hegg (low vocals sound way off). Who is this actually?

For those who say that's an old AMON AMARTH song, and that the band sound like this in the older albums.....Definitely no, that's not an AMON AMARTH song, that's not Johan Hegg voice and they neves sounded like in this song. The older albums are pretty brutal compared with the new ones. Guitars were more sharpened and the production more brilliant than this song. Of course, is a cool song, but not an AMON AMARTH song.

[@dernoth]

That is bootleg recorded in 2011

[@usquanigo]

Well, the good news is that christmas isn't christian, and the majority of it is pre-christian northern european. I rather like the idea of continuing a celebration that dates back at least 1200 years, probably a lot more. (ditto for Easter and Halloween too, hijacked and renamed much older celebrations)

[@russelltaylor9188]

Is the Amon Amarth -“Viking Christmas “ song available at all on CD?

No because this isn't Amon Amarth. The uploader fooled all of you. I know every single Amon Amarth song and album and the vocals on this song is definitely not Johan Hegg.
