Embrace of the Endless Ocean - Amon Amarth - Piano Cover

Facebook Page: ALNicoletti
Title: "Embrace of the Endless Ocean"
Artist: Amon Amarth
Album: Twilight of the Thunder God (2008)
Performed by: ALUxoxo
Comments: This is my first attempt to perform a death metal song on piano... so I hope I didn't butcher it.
Sorry for the errors, if noticeable.
And please, DO NOT ask me for the sheet music for this piece. I found out everything by ear and I do not have the score written out, so I have no way of giving it to you. Thank you.
enjoy~

Even in piano form I can still envision the sadness of a frozen drowning norseman who's father sits in sadness and sorrow as he does not know if his son will ever return from war. Fear not you two. Odin will unite you both in Valhalla.

[@aedanargonar3790]

***** What you said made sense. They just read it improperly :P.

[@Astral_infinite]

Still not dead

[@Astral_infinite]

8 years later I still stand by it

[@Arafax]

You really captured the brutal melancholy of the original in this cover

[@jguevarar95]

Best cover this song has. Been coming back to this video for more than 10 years now

[@Abaddon256]

I almost cried a man tear. Awesome work.

[@bshigaki1285]

Really shows how versatile metal is, that it can be translated to so many mediums like piano and still have such a perfect feeling. Beautiful work.

[@Dattinator2501]

This makes vikings seem gentle. Beautiful cover.

[@Sabbathman1979]

Thank you...thank you...you covered the greatest song this band ever made...and what a great job you did. I'm in tears...thank you.

[@unzerjio]

Best part of the song... The endless ocean swallows me... this will be my cold wet tomb... i could cry with this lyrics... Nice work!!! Amazing song.. Amazing band!!!

[@Sabbathman1979]

This greatest of all Amon Amarth songs deserves to be played by you...and you definitely deserve to play this!!! SO FUCKING BEAUTIFUL that this almost kills me...

[@celconicuzn]

The proves why Amon Amarth is godlike death metal. Exceptionally well done melodies..

[@AcidCoyote]

Really adds to the atmosphere of an already great song.

[@silvyadav]

i'm a metal head and i know the original song... i appreciate this cover, i really like it. we metalhead are not some blind human being, we can see what counts and what is good for our hears to be listened... and don't forget that some metal albums take inspirations from classical music and piano players of the past... the piano fits very well this song, i really like it. CONGRATS!!

[@TheIneedtopee]

Still the best piano cover of this amazing song. Been coming to this for years. The uploader might not be active anymore but I still wanna say thanks.

[@HevvyMettlRokkr]

That's awesome! Putting it onto piano like that shows just how melodic bands like Amon are! Not in the vocals, obviously, but still. Nicely done, Nicely done.

[@vampire443]

Wow!!!!!!!!! Best cover ever!!!!!

[@metalkeith73]

excellent cover, never thought Amon Amarth songs would sound so good with a piano

[@kissofdeathisraja]

you amaze me. i never thought you could replicate music of guitars like this using a piano.

[@RedJesper]

Favorite song of the album. Did a guitar drums, vocals cover a while ago, but had to reinstall windows before it ever made it to my page. VERY impressive. Wish I could play piano like you.

[@khaledamer2693]

nobel prize right here my friend. stay strong nd be good.

[@CareyPortnoyBeauford]

proof that metal is some of the most beautiful written music.

[@LairdKrug]

Loved it!!!! I think if a female vocalist accompanies you with this it would be neat to hear. Such an awesome song and well done cover, Odin is pleased I'm sure!

[@PathologicPantomime]

Brutal cover=). The innocence of the piano with the epicness of Amon Amarth!

[@DamonAmarth666]

[@alkanasiskojotas]

well I'll be damned! i would have never thought that amon amarth can sound sooo awesome played on piano. Dude you've done great!

[@Poonjo]

It's melodeath metal (melodic death metal) with Norse mythology lyrics. (Viking lyrics) They were quoted saying that they don't play Viking Metal or even know what that is. They play Melodeath. So yes, it is Death Metal. Yes, it is Melodic Metal. Yes, it is Viking Metal. Although at the same time. No, it's not Death Metal. No, it's not Melodic Metal. No, it's not Viking Metal. Oh, by the way, this video freaking kicks ass. I subbed to you just for this video.

[@lawrichai]

Great song, thank you for your hard work. You are amazing.

[@mlkman2ice]

This is my favorite AA song. I don't think I've ever heard a song that better matches melody with lyrics and the story unfolding. You do, as always, a fantastic job. I've seen AA Live twice, but I have yet to hear this song in one of their concerts, maybe third time will be the charm. ;) keep it up!!

[@Brubarov]

I love you. Thank you so much for doing this one! So beautiful, like a vlase with the ocean's terror, and the loneliness it inspires.

[@Uxoricidal]

@DeadlyThrashViking I'm a music major that listens to metal and you wouldn't believe the flak I get from a lot of people for listening to what I believe is the greatest genre of music out there. I completely agree with your opinion.
