Helvetets Port - Lightning Rod Avenger

Day of destruction of your life
The clouds are funeral pyres
Your existence is to end
In a world of volts and fire
Bright lights
In sight
They all fall prey to this rod-wielding nemesis tonight
Lightning
Sunrise is a stranger
Lightning
Lightning rod avenger
Lightning
The airborne code of danger
Lightning
Lightning rod avenger
Cast down in shadows, the final race
No chance to win
Stay and hold this cross tonight
The earth's creation is a sin
Bright lights
In sight
They all fall prey to this rod-wielding nemesis tonight
Lightning
Sunrise is a stranger
Lightning
to the lightning rod avenger
Lightning
The airborne code of danger
Lightning
Lightning rod avenger
Out emerges a winged unicorn
upon which there sits a godlike figure
And all men and land burst into flames as he strikes
If you still wonder why
You had to die
Remember the one who tore the skies asunder
Bow and accept the god of thunder
Bright lights
Neon fights
They all fall prey to this rod-wielding nemesis tonight
Lightning
Sunrise is a stranger
Lightning
to the lightning rod avenger
Lightning
The airborne code of danger
Lightning
Lightning rod avenger
Lightning strikes tonight

This band gets it. This has early priest and manilla road vibes.

[@tizakit]

I love how this song isn't a track on that album, just a video.

[@TheBramVC]

This is the best music video in the history of peoplekind.

[@jaqimaddows9895]

Fact!!

[@JoakimVesterlund]

I have not seen any evidence to the contrary.

[@GabAssbreaker]

i remember when this song came out, me and my school friends were into 80s old school metal and this blew our minds. Then we listened to their first album and it was very bad, but this song still kick so much ass. Love the video as well, the right spot between cheesy and epic.

[@JoakimVesterlund]

The first time i saw this video was at an after party, in the middle of the night, got blown away. Found the number of O. Thunder on their webpage and booked them on the spot :) Almost 15 years ago:)

[@Corrosive1]

this is great stuff

[@notoriouspropp]

Ah, I see! I must have misunderstood K. Lightning then. I'm really looking forward to the next album by the way, Exodus To Hell and the Metal Strike EP are both truly amazing, epic milestones within the swedish metal scene!

[@scarecrow308]

das wohl beste Musikvideo dieses Jahrzehnts

[@the3588dawn]

helvetets I love you!!!! greetings from AXEVYPER

[@Hell-Cat1989]

true old spirit hails from ecuador

[@Bravilor]

@Deathsiren Out of sync? What music do you usually listen to - a metronome?

[@speedriider]

AHH THIS RULES!!

[@TriallByFire]

I thought metalheads where more clever than the narrow-minded comments I read here. I love this old school style, I really do. Face it or not, some modern metal like technical deathcore is very very complex music and has A LOT more variety in it's music than oldschool bands like this. The border between epic and rediculous is sometimes very small. I love this band, never heard of them but I'll check more songs, but don't put all modern metal in the same box, if you do that, you are no metal.

[@Ironjagg]

hahha..i like this.. its so classic. i like this band..and WW and Cauldron

[@felipegranito7631]

2018!

[@Karl_Sebastian]

kollade på denna video (utan ljud)(har inga hörlurar) och tyckte den var så tuff att jag bara sisådar köpte plattan... det är fan illa eftersom jag har 300 att leva på i veckan och 300 av det brukar gå till mat...

[@BloodCurseAaron]

@MaidenfanCGB He slightly sounds like him too.

[@gpalmamrw]

If ever someone make a Judas Priest/Rob Halford biography movie they should ask for the singer of H.P. to made the part of Halford man, is his living image!! by the way Judas Priest rockumentary/biographical movie would kick some serious asses.

[@Volkemord]

niiicicicie

[@Mildred_McRaven]

@Deathsiren I have it on good authority that there is no trace of irony involved

[@paulobaphometwar]

Do you have any other video or news from the band HP?

[@Bravilor]

We've recorded a new album and it will be released as soon as the vinyl factory can make the time for it!

[@a01543z]

why this song isnt in their debut album?

[@Bravilor]

Because this song didn't exist at that time.

[@RaicoEbel]

80th?

[@tobiasforsner]

Mer METAL än så här kan det absolut inte bli!

[@needsmetal]

they sound like a mix of gotham city and overdrive

[@theDirtySanchez92]

OMG Harry Potter flags!

[@marclee15]

:S

[@TronciM]

How do people not realise that this band isnt fully serious?

[@Bravilor]

What aspect of it would you say is not serious?

[@Esoteration]

Let me ensure you. They are 100% serious.

[@Bravilor]

Helvetets Port are back, rehearsing, writing new material. The heavy metal.

[@Bravilor]

lukas akerlund A Facebook page, it should come up on top if you search for Helvetets Port.

[@Moongonebyeby]

they are the only band from the 2000s that really is TRUE 80s..i love how they recorded everything with a retro cam and made everything in the video like it was 1984

[@ikon8352]

then you should deal with the New Wave of Traditional Heavy Metal my Friend

[@winrargamer]

Dude... How old were you in '84?

[@Riles11500RT]

New fan from the USA. This shit is awesome! Reminds me of watching original bands in Hollywood in the 80's and early MTV

[@downwiththemaster]

this shits amazing!!!!!!!!

[@LuizPaiva2077]

The vocal looks exactly like Rob Halford in 70'sGreat song!

[@Bravilor]

@Forged0in0sulphur In our case in Helvetets Port, it's the exact opposite. We are heavy metal enthusiasts who turned musicians because we want to, instead of just listen to it, also play it. We're no "music lesson guys", we just go on willpower or whatever you might call it.

[@nissekram]

That solo guitar sound is very much the same as Dave Murray's on the early Maiden albums - cool 😛

[@muzboz]

This is fucking excellent. Are they playing a VECTREX at 1:24??! I believe so! So good. Love that guy's bass. That is fucked good.

[@doom-mantia]

Really nice track! Retro and a bit quirky much like Heavy Load :)

[@jmagowan12]

This makes allot more sense with the headphones on and it being really loud!

[@PuddingRwanda]

This band is awesome!!! Just got physical copies of all your stuff, in constant rotations for days, I'm not worthy etc.....

[@Bravilor]

That is true. You can never match the real participants of the 80s metal scene, but if that's your cup of tea you have to try.

[@francemetal434]

A Flying V guitar with 3 humbuckers, but without Floyd Rose vibrato?

[@Floskeknosk]

These are truly talented musicians and very, very nice people in person. This tune + video kicks ass.

[@Heavymetalrille]

Så jäkla bra video alltså, de har verkligen fångat den där gammla 80-tals känslan.

[@Jow45metal]

Great retro-80's metal band!!! sweden rocks!

[@SwordInTheSky]

True Heavy Metal is the meaning of life

[@notoriouspropp]

Fucking excellent guys! I truly must say that you're one of the best swedish bands ever! // Henke

[@SwordInTheSky]

@@Olegstuff21986 Thanks mate! 👍🚩🚩

[@MutteringUrchin]

Their best song, without a shadow of a doubt. If they made more like this, they'd lead the NWOTHM.

[@NRGzer]

Så jävla fet video så det är inte sant. Roligaste videon jag sett på länge. Måste tagit riktigt lång tid med all rekvisita. Grymt! 5/5

[@diegosantillan9017]

Very good band, I discovered it through a skate thrasher video...greetings from Peru! 🤘

[@gpalmamrw]

His music is genuine indeed, and let me tell you, you have to have big balls of steel to use black and white or tiger stripes spandex pants in 2009, and yeah, Fenris probably have one of the best musical tastes I have seen for bands haha, thanks to him I discovered Children of Technolgy, totally kick ass crust punk/heavy metal band!! black metal legends like his heavy metal very classic style haha, just listen Armour, the heavy metal/hard rock project from Werewolf from Satanic Warmaster.

[@imsi208]

Hårdrock är inte teknik - hårdrock är själ och hjärta.

[@Forged0in0sulphur]

@Bravilor Well, since my initial drunken reflection on my video I've grown to appreciate the music. Forgive me for my insulence.

[@MarcusCorbyn]

I can't get enough of these guys. This song is fucking rad!

[@muzboz]

Super 8 kicks ass. Those outfits kick ass. Helvetets Port kick ass.

[@ritchierivas9685]

Great Sound

[@zTORM]

WE WANT NEW ALBUM GUYS. YOU FUCKING ROCK

[@Sergoath]

[@invaasooor303]

Another band that represents the new crop eahvy celebrating the true metal of old, celebrating the roots!

[@Chriib]

Detta är true. Detta är obskyrt. Detta är Heavy Metal.

[@nerothos]

The rhythm guitar tone in this recording is nuts.

[@Olegstuff21986]

I know! What an amazing 'vintage' guitar tone.

[@thetrooper009]

This video makes me want to watch This is Spinal Tap.

[@0HeAvEn1aNd2HeLl3]

this song is a fucking masterpiece! no doubt those dudes would have gone gold in the 70s

[@0HeAvEn1aNd2HeLl3]

Visserligen så har du ju jäävligt rätt i det... Hur kul låter Hellgate?

[@DefiantDestruktor]

Oh fuck my bad. Well, still wondering what really is "new black metal".
