REACTING to NANOWAR OF STEEL (Valhalleluja) 🎅🔨🎄

Just wanted to point out the lyric at 14:15 for all the non italians here because it's brilliant wordplay. Carpenter in italian is "falegname", from there "falegn-amen". I love them

[@airgunnyhighway]

Haha I was about to write that 😂😂

[@BaracchiL]

I just realised it: at the end, on the TV is playing "trading places". That's an inside joke for italians, because that's always played on christmas eve on italian TV since the first 2000s. This video is SO DEEP.

One of the things I love about Nanowar of Steel is that while they're making crazy, multi-layered parody songs, they write some of the best melodies and killer riffs out there. The big riff when the band joins in is one of the best riffs I've heard in ages.

[@MarcoSozzi-k2p]

Perfect.

[@jedinxf7]

never heard the song til now, found it hilarious, but wanted to note there is a hebrew pun. it says "shema' Yggdrasil, Odinai Eloheinu, Odinai Ehad." it's an intentional butchery of a hebrew prayer (a quote from deuteronomy) that is the ultimate rejection of polytheism lol. they changed "Hear, Israel, ADONAI (a traditional way to refer to God instead of pronouncing the name Yahweh), our God, ADONAI is one" into "Hear, Yggdrasil, our Odin is our God, our Odin is one!"

[@bimbogiallo]

Not surprising since the bass player speaks 12 languages, among which hebrew!

[@Pingieking]

Isn't the bassist also an astrophysicist? I guess some men actually are more equal than others.

[@HALberdier17]

Gloryhammer is basically a DnD/Warhammer 40k campaign with power metal soundtrack. Angus McFife is the character he plays in their songs. Each album is a continuous story. I would recommend Unicorn Invasion of Dundee, Universe on Fire and Masters of the Galaxy. I chose one song from each album.

You were wondering where to go next with this? Well, Nanowar of Steel just released a new song called "Uranus". So, the ESA (European Space Agency) have a planned Uranus Pathfinder mission to be launched in 2022. Nanowar of Steel wanted to commemorate the mission. This is, however, Nanowar of Steel, yes it's THAT pronunciation. Also, to add one personal request/recommendation: Continue with more Gojira, they released a track from their Red Rocks live show not long ago; Pray (Extended). ...and people said the Magma album wasn't heavy enough

[@sylwia5595]

I haven't seen Chase laugh that much yet 😂😂. Forget Ikea, now I won't be able to think about Christmas without hearing this one 🤣

[@carolusbillius6726]

Nanowar of Steel’s totally serious song “And then I noticed that she was a gargoyle” should be up next. For Gloryhammer, just know that there is a hammer, an evil wizard, Dundee and Fife are really important places, and there are unicorns, a Hootsman and lots of hoots. They have a live concert from Wacken 2019, that is available on KZbin, and the description has the starting times of each of the songs, so you can pick out whichever you want. Their videos are very good too. Hootsforce, Siege of Dunkeld (In Hoots We Trust), Land of the Unicorns and Gloryhammer are all great songs!

[@Briansgate]

She was a Gargoyle is freaking amazing. I show it to everyone I know, and even though they ask what the hell is wrong with me, I keep showing everyone.

[@2st_duallist]

yess. ma falegname è carpenter XD

[@GiovanniPerini]

@@2st_duallist _carpenter_ in inglese ha un significato quasi identico all'italiano _carpentiere_ con la differenza che _carpenter_ è usato quasi esclusivamente per la camperteria in legno, mentre _carpentiere_ si tende ad associarlo più spesso anche alla carpenteria metallica. _woodworker_ in inglese è usato sia per coprire il significato di falegnale, sia per coprire il significato di carpenteria edile in legno. È un termine più generico del nostro _falegname_ ma è la traduzione migliore. Un termine più preciso per tradurre _falegname_ potrebbe essere _joiner_ ma non l'ho mai sentito usare. dal Merriam-Webster: *woodworking:* the act, process, or occupation of working wood into a useful or desired form *carpenter:* a worker who builds or repairs wooden structures or their structural parts dal Collins: *woodworker:* a person who works in wood, such as a carpenter, joiner, or cabinet-maker

Nanowar of Steel's "And then I noticed she was a gargoyle" and "Uranus" for a great laugh. Also "Barbie MILF of the Princess Twilight" for a little bit of Rhapsody of Fire Parody and and "Ironmonger" for some power metal feel that feels a little like Manowar.

Gloryhammer is a similarly comedic band from Scotland, but with an epic sci-fi fantasy theme with songs about things like a hammer that was forged in the heart of a star and that is powered by lasers, an army of unicorns that shoot lasers from their eyes attacking a medieval kindom, an ancient wizard of evil named Zargothrax who is attempting to conquer the universe and, most importantly, an Austrian man who travels to California, becomes rich and famous as a movie star and proceeds to become the ruler of the land and an immortal god-king of legendary strength.
