ROADIE REACTIONS | "Amon Amarth - The Way of Vikings" | [FIRST TIME REACTION]

[@AmonAmarthOfficial]

Cheers fellow Viking! ⚔🛡

[@TankTheTech]

Skål!

[@Feurthan]

@@TankTheTech That's so cool that Amon Amarth commented!

[@annabialko2599]

Twilight of the thundergods, raise your horns, shield wall

[@DarkAngel89]

yes

[@Skorsis]

I know this vid is an older one now, but that little smile when that guitar hits in the opening seconds, it's almost an 'Yep, I'm gonna like this.' look xD

[@sugoruyo]

The most important gear in Amon Amarth shows: - Drinking horns! skål! - Mjolnir to smash Jormungandr's face in. - Neck brace for after the show. - Beard oil (at least 2 inches facial growth promotion per hour of Amon Amarth) Amon Amarth's catalog is this level of intensity and aggression all the way through. No nonsense Swedish melodic death metal talking about Vikings, raids, fighting, Norse gods and sheer brutality. This is the soundtrack of the Viking training montage. If you ain't raiding the coastline of Western Europe after 2 albums of I don't know what to tell ya.

[@TankTheTech]

Hahahahaha. Hell yeah! Thanks man!

[@sugoruyo]

@@TankTheTech talking about Viking workouts: put "Amon Amarth rowing" in the KZbin search box ;) You won't regret it.

[@TankTheTech]

I haven't seen it yet, but I've heard about it and I HIGHLY approve. Haha

[@ranekeisenkralle8265]

Skål! Guess I'll have to set my mead aside for a while though. Gotta go to Llindisfarne and see what's what ;-)

[@ayrie09]

I'm a woman and everytime I listen to Amon Amarth I feel like a spontaneously grew a full beard 😂 Great reaction and I can definitely relate to the headbanging!

[@TankTheTech]

Hahahahaha. YES! 🤘

[@Jonsson474]

😂😂😄😂👊🇸🇪

[@hglenn012d]

I am a man with a beard, and when I listened to Amon Amarth my beard grew an ax and started telling me to raid the coast villages. Spectacular band.

[@radoslavl.5354]

The Berserker at Stamford Bridge!!! Most powerful song ever !

[@aresut]

If you like Amon Amarth, then you should check out TÝR. They're a viking metal band from the Faroe Islands. Been around for over 20 years and have 8 full studio albums. Earlier this year they filmed a full concert with the Faroe Island Symphony Orchestra. Absolutely killer music. Edit: heads up, some songs are in English, while others are in Faroese.

[@ranekeisenkralle8265]

Good suggestion. As far as i am concerned Tyr is everyday-metal (along with Sabaton), whereas Amon Amarth is reserved for ...special occasions. The type of special occasion that involves various blades and plenty of anger.

[@brandonyeung7838]

Tyr is definitely badass! Also Ensiferium!

[@Thessik73]

I saw these guys live at a small venue a couple years ago. By the end of the show, the crowd could (and would) have stormed hell.

[@bobfrancis123]

My son saw them at a festival on a freaking hot day.. got LOBSTERED... and got his back plate for his Mockingbird autographed by the whole band. EPIC Group.

[@janhoffmann599]

Oh, there are so many songs I would recommend: The Pursuit of Vikings Fafners Gold Death in Fire Versus the World Raise your Horns Destroyer of the Universe With Oden on our Side or basically anything live on stage

[@flatliner556]

Valhall awaits me is nasty. With Oden on our side was the first album i picked up of theirs.

[@ranekeisenkralle8265]

I'd throw my favourite "Tattered Banners and Bloody Flags" right in there as well.

[@HellBrYnger]

i'd be in for Death in fire.

[@vavra222]

I love older Amon Amarth songs but this album was a fucking masterpiece, instant classic. I love the overarching story and also the individual pieces, its fucking great, no bad song in the whole album. But what i love most is the live performance of "thing that cannot be" with Doro, since my dad isnt into death metal, but loves Doro, this was a perfect way to introduce him to what i love.

[@ozpirate87]

Guardians of Asgard, War of the Gods, destroyer of the universe, twilight of the thunder god, deceiver of the gods, father of the wolf, raise your horns, and crack the sky. These songs, especially if you can find them live are great songs to get your appetite started.

[@Svartalf42]

Gods, these guys were great in concert! The mosh pits were so wonderfully exhausting.

[@socksandpi1264]

Spotify says I've listened to Amon Amarth for 11,492 minutes this year, and 'Cry of the Black Birds' was my top played song. Highly suggest it, it's fantastic!

[@bygoneegowaitingremoval]

Amon Amarth has to be listened to live!!! Except "Rise your horns" very cool video

[@JiroCrow]

My grandfather came from Sweden, and share the All-Fathers blood. Good reaction my brother

[@Larsvader75]

Greetings from Germany 👍🍻

[@DanShiraz]

Amon Amarth is just pure anarchy! I love everything they do! Plus badass name straight out of Middle Earth and the works of Tolkien!!

[@TankTheTech]

🤘🤘🤘

[@draug7966]

He he wait til you hear "destroyer of the universe" or "twilight of the thunder god", you´re gonna headbang yourself crazy!

[@ranekeisenkralle8265]

I agree on Twilight of the Thundergod, but my personal favourite remains Tattered Banners and Bloody Flags. ....and behind them Midgard burns...

[@Tuxman25]

I've seen them live two times when they were in my area and a full setlist of them is really exhausting.

[@Kickenwing13]

Wait this is his first Amon Amarth song? Holy cow. Genuinely one of my favorites of all time

[@dirkrohrig9486]

Tank thanx,my absolute fave Band,raise your horns🤘😍

[@Ineluki_Myonrashi]

Everyone into the rowing pit!!

[@sugoruyo]

He needs to do a live video to see that!

[@Soviet_Saguaro]

As a Norse pagan it makes me happy you're reading that book and giving these guys a listen 🤘🏻

[@angussharington2374]

Finally a band I can say something about :D Amon Amarth is the mountain where Sauron forged the One Ring!

[@swelix6475]

This is the best reaction 🤟

[@TankTheTech]

🤘🤘🤘

[@MountainMetal]

Pure Badass Viking Metal. No other band in the world can top 'em at that, IMO.

[@TankTheTech]

🤘🤘🤘

[@loot5532]

I've been listening to them for a while now. A ton of their songs give that "I can take on the world" vibe. It's so good. I can't imagine doing Reaction videos and having to WAIT to listen to like... 5 whole albums of awesomeness

[@frank7839]

I love Amon Amarth,great Band!

[@jonatanmarklund7473]

I live in the same suburb of stockholm that they're from, I sometimes see them in the supermarket with their kids or Johan when iceskating, yes Johan loves iceskating and hockey! Runestones are not uncommon here, I got one 30 meter from my house. I have listend to them since 2005, listening in to his this in 5th grade class. Amon Amrath is the best workout metal music ever, one does not simply not lift heavy with this in the gym. Especially the With Oden on our side album!

[@millerbeer01]

How the hell did I miss this??? These guys are just beautiful live. Check out the Viking Row at their shows

[@deniserodriguez7441]

My brother Manny (who is 12 years older and one of my best friends) was the one who introduced this awkward geek into metal. He has been on me to check out Amon Amarth forever, but the idea of Viking Metal never appealed to me. Thanx to your reaction video, I can finally get him off my back, so you did me a solid one. 😃

[@TankTheTech]

Yes!!! Love hearing that! Hope you enjoyed it.

[@thegassmannfamily]

My neck was sore for days after I saw them in concert. I already have tickets for the next time they are in the area.

[@smp7077]

Father of the Wolf ... Amon Amarth are amazing !!!!!

[@norsenomad3387]

And here you are!!!! Hail!!! Absolutely love this band they put on an epic show when they toured berserker!!!

[@TankTheTech]

Ah, you found it! Haha. I tried to react to a couple live performances but they got blocked.

[@norsenomad3387]

@@TankTheTech I've noticed that lol however bro I'm so glad you are always doing these !! Jamming with ya while you react is seriously so fucking awesome!!! Love your enthusiasm!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘 looking forward to more!!

[@theboneforest]

Amon Amarth is awesome! I got to see them live a few years ago and it was one of my favorite concerts of all time! Definitely recommend: Father of the Wolf Twilight of the Thunder God Shield Wall Raise your Horns Raven's Flight Crack the Sky Mjolner, Hammer of Thor ...and the list goes on. xD

[@lucasheterjag]

And you even have In Flames playing in the background. Goosebumps!

[@daniellehurrell6620]

I've seen these guys thrice. And met them once. Amazing guys! 😂

[@florisbiezeman3800]

My fucking favourite band! My favourite songs of theirs are "The Last With Pagan Blood (live)", "Across the Rainbow Bridge (live)", "Gods of War Arise" and "Back on Northern Shores".... I think.... the top list changes all the time for me because all of their songs are amazing!

[@timhutchinson8485]

the 'mobster viking' angle is such a cool theme for the video.

[@TankTheTech]

Yeah, I really dug that.

[@RedBlade187]

Hell yeah, my friend! Amon Amarth is badass! 🇺🇲🤘😁

[@JackSalter]

Amon Amarth is always nice to listen

[@fatmanvidz]

6:11 used to be chelsea grin for me, now it's amon amarth, and I have a viking themed sleeve 😂

[@tommelo1277]

Seen then live twice. Can't wait for the third ride. Raise your horns! You should also check from them: Twilight of thunder god, Asator, Guardians of Asgaard

[@DSCFR34K]

I. FUCKING. LOVE. THIS. BAND. They're the band that really got me into metal and are still one of my 3 all time favourite bands. I could just listen to them for hours and happily break my neck (and I guess you are doing that too xD) If you want to get some more into the band I got your back man. Just to name a few: -Shield Wall -Crack the Sky -Ravens Flight -Raise your Horns -First Kill -At Dawn's first Light -Shape Shifter -Blood Eagle -Destroyer of the Universe -A Beast am I -Aerials (yes, they covered SOAD) -Guardians of Asgaard -Twilight of the Thunder God -Where is your God? -Live for the Kill Just to name a few :D

[@loot5532]

Oh dude, if you like Viking/ Norse mythology themed metal, from Sweden, you should give a look at Brothers of Metal. They have 3 singers, 2 that typically trade or duet, and a third that is mostly spoken song, and they have some seriously catchy songs. For the channel, I'd recommend either One or Njord. In general, I'd say Siblings of Metal is their most self-describing song.

[@x7VenGeaNcE7x]

Tha father of the wolf cinematic video is absolutely killer. such a hype train into a heavy headbanging session :D

[@Boerke]

This was pure energy!!! Both the reaction and the video...

[@Flugmorph]

now thats what i call a hardcore reaction!

[@heavenlydenied]

I listen to this song every time before my Muay Thai training. Nothing pumps me up quite like this song.

[@kai.westerkamp]

yesterday i recommended them, and now i want to se them live again. Summer Breeze 2017 they played as surprise act and as headliner the next day with 2 distinct shows. I want to see it again

[@ilpoh1237]

If you're about vikings and Norse mythology you should try Tyr, Faroe "viking metal" band. Their concert with local symphony orchestra last year was so good. I was amazed that island with 52,000 citizen had it's own symphony orchestra. Many of their songs are Faroese language and arranged from old Faroese folk songs and poems. Great music.

[@tombland3779]

I've got a amon amarth hand tattoo that I got before their gig they toured the uk with a group of tattoo artists

[@jahrolo]

Johan Hegg had a small role in a movie few years ago... "Northmen - a Viking Saga". He died pretty soon in that film :D Saw Amon Amarth live once, I lost my glasses and one shoe.... It was awesome!

[@xThunderGodxx]

Now you need to do Raise Your Horns. It’s freakin awesome 🤘😀🤘

[@knockout3630]

Amon amarth makes such epic sounding songs

[@meetal2116]

One of My favorite Bands.... Great For this reaction Tank!

[@alanthompson2753]

Glad you liked it. Gonna look up Angela Hill now thanks. Try Runes to my Memory next please. Great channel dude!

[@johnlevonitis8136]

Tank you are correct on your statement about listening to Amon Amarth and raising your testosterone. Especially those of us over 50.

[@hamachibeans4471]

Their videos can be so weird, sometimes just nothing to do with Vikings despite the song being about Vikings

[@tajbaber9425]

🤘😈🤘glad to see you finally discovered em🍻

[@goth_ana]

They sound even better live. I love them!

[@deniseleraaen9733]

We have some of their huge drinking horns and jewelry from their store grimfrost they make it all it’s damn good quality.

Guardians of Asgaard live at summer breeze festival by Amon Amarth is a must to see equipment 😁

[@TankTheTech]

Live?! Hell yeah!

[@papaherf7349]

Song gets the blood flowing n heart rate kicking. Liked it, hopefully Tank didn’t lose anything he needed in his head lol. Great review

[@ariedebruijn1189]

First Kill....great song, great video... Go for it, Sir...

[@inkubuzz]

Amorphis -The Bee.... more melodic but growls are 🤯

[@lassehakala968]

Starting-growl in "bee" is unreal.

[@Cpthair13]

First song I ever heard by them was "Death in Fire" and it concreted an interest so heavily. It was the first thing I had ever heard like that back in the day. I'd love to see your reaction to it!

[@samanthar1214]

Went and listened to more of them. My neck hurts and I have a headache 😂🤘

[@sethbooze5954]

War of the gods from Surtur Rising!!! The domestic Amon Amarth riffs in my opinion

[@user-uu1vx6fi3z]

You have to love all music. From Mozart until now, all music is awesome. Amon Amarth is beautiful.

[@SandraNelson063]

I missed the live!!! Well, my body threw me a NAP, and as any insomniac will tell you, if the veils lift and offer a NAP!!! Yeah, I got about an hour's snooze in, it was MAGIC!!! I am half Swedish and I heartily approve of this video! MORE!!! By the way. if you are interested, I bet you could find someone where you are to teach you the use of broadsword and axe. Or even the Sea axe. Go for it!!!

[@ImNotInHeaven]

Amon Amarth in my ❤ They are AMAZING! 👍

[@majinbro280]

Amazing to have a channell actually do something I recommended for once and so quickly too boot! Thanks alot and much respect!... and you would surely love to dissect their live stage work... it's next level! Ravens flight from their last tour or anything from Summer breeze, you just wait! Big respect yet again!

[@Triskaan]

So, let's do some Amon Amarth now ! Fucking good choice ! Though I'd argue "Twilight of the Thunder God", "Deceiver of the Gods", "Embrace of the Endless Ocean", "Under the Northern Star" (a death metal ballad this one), "Cry of the Black Birds", "Guardians of Asgaard" or "Gods of War Arise" would have been even more epic. And since we're talking Vikings, can I just say (yeah, I know, not the first time I'm gonna type these words and definitely not the last one either), I'd fucking love for you to check Skalmold (live with the orchestra). Either Kvadning or Hel... these two songs (and that orchestra !) will blow your mind !

[@TankTheTech]

The reason I didn't do Twilight of the Thunder Guards or Guardians of Asgard is because I've actually heard them before in passing, so it wouldn't be an authentic first time reaction. I'll definitely do those other ones though!

[@Norpal]

@@TankTheTech If you pick "Embrace of the Endless Ocean", be sure to find like a lyrics video version or something. It's such a beautiful and sad story.

[@paganof666]

YOO my fav youtuber, please pretty please do more Amon amarth, i mean all their songs are fkn fantastic. The new album the great heathen army is a masterpiece imo.

[@timhutchinson8485]

I recommend anything from their album "Fate of Norns", one of their older ones.

Clayman by In Flames in the background nice!

If I may suggest: Amon Amarth - Embrace Of The Endless Ocean Brothers of Metal - Prophecy of Ragnarok Tyr - By The Sword In My Hand (live with Faroe Islands Symphony Orchestra) Tyr - Hold The Heathen Hammer High Sylosis - I Sever Evergrey - Weightless

[@andydevereux2195]

So I'm basically an Irish Viking and that shit just speaks to my soul , and I have also injured myself from excessive headbanging

Every Amon amarth song gets you pumped up if your going into any battle just play the entire Amon amarth discography and your good

[@Bloodyria]

I see what you did there! Amon Amarth, In Flames and Soilwork... We are so blessed to have Swedish Metal! 🤘 I was lucky enough to see them a few days before quarantine started, yet everytime I hear them, I crave for another beastly show!

Sweden constantly pumps out my favorite metal. Add Orbit Culture in with that mix and you’ve got 4 of some of my favorite bands currently.

Yeah, have same feel like Tank, i was 2 x on Soilwork in Vienna, was amazing !!!! thanks SWE for Metal and IceHockey )))

[@TankTheTech]

Thanks Brett! And we'll definitely have more Amon Amarth on here in the future!

[@mahliz]

Some Amon Amarth suggestions. A thousend years of opression live, and Across the rainbrow bridge live (I think both where at Bloadshead over bachum). If you want some two song stories I recomend hermods ride to hell And then the second song Töcks taunt. (They jump in towards the end of one of the last stories from the gods). Also, The Last stand of Frej and the song Destroyer of the universe. On some other songs I have to say Warriors of the north is one of my favorites.

[@janronnyrasmussen7693]

If you are really interested in norse stuff check out the prose edda and the poetic edda, takes a deeper dive into the poems and stories told from the mouths of those that existed back then.
