Who is Amon Amarth? - Saxons and Vikings

‪@AmonAmarthOfficial‬ & ‪@PlanetSaxon‬ this was such a banger! What a perfect collaboration to introduce me to Amon Amarth!

[@timturner1045]

Thank God, you are the first person I’ve seen on KZbin to watch this video that knows who Saxon was

[@johncrwarner]

Odin is guitar tech for Amon Amarth and Hammerfall as well! Well at least that is what NanowaR of Steel said.

[@cotyallinson6733]

Odin is definitely not the Guitar Tech for Amon Amarth 🤘😎

[@johncrwarner]

@@cotyallinson6733 Do you doubt the profits (prophets) of IKEA, NanowaR of Steel? LOL

[@marinamucic908]

Amon Amarth is the iconic Swedish melodic death metal band, Sabaton covered their song Twilight of the Thunder God way back on their album Carolus Rex, I highly recommend checking out both versions (original first, of course)

[@MrVarsac99]

A Thousand Burning Arrows* yes🤘 *Amon Amarth song suggestion 😉

[@nuclear.musicaddict]

Biff and Johan trading insults like that makes me smile, I don't know what's wrong with me. "Twilight of the thunder god" is the must hear from Amon Amarth if you never hear anything else. "Raise your horns" has a fun video with lots of fans and metal musicians in it. "Live for the kill" probably my personal favourite, but AFAIK there is no video.

[@ShadowhispersBand]

The insults are all I wait for when listening to the song 😬. You’re not the only weird one 😉

[@nuclear.musicaddict]

​@@ShadowhispersBandyeeeeeeah weirdos unite 😂 🤘

[@richwittenburg19]

Interestingly, the goading and insulting each other before battle was an actual thing. Saxons and Norsemen faced each other off like UK football hooligans about to get into a scrap. Both historically accurate and works brilliantly in a metal song. Win win.

[@Thnielsen85]

oh thank Odin i'm not alone! Those insults thrown back and forth.. it's so good!

[@jp16k92]

If you liked this, you really have to try Eluveitie, especially Rebirth and Aidus to start with. Amon Amarth is awesome, Johan Hegg's voice is extraordinary, and at 72, Biff Byfford still kills it!

[@TheProletariat.]

I just learned of this song a few days ago.. never had heard of Amon either. Was totally dig'n the video and what I could make out of the lyrics.. the back and forth and how they're gonna tear eachother apart!!! Lol! I didn't realize either that was actually Saxon in it. But I recognized his voice and was wracking my brain where do I know this voice from?... it sounds like... it sounds like... but I just couldn't put my finger on it! Lol! And then it hit me like a mack truck.. THATS FRIG'N SAXON!!! LOL! I remember my dad having Saxon records back in the day.. I need to see if my mom still has those! But yes I love the voice from Amon Amarth! Frig'n cool as hell! Watched a few of their videos now. So seeing them pairing up with Saxon to do a song called Saxons and Vikings... Frig'n brilliant!!! I love the contrast in sound between Amon and Biff! Stunning video! Just seeing two bands like this tackle one song together in this fashion blows me away! Just learned of Avatar about a year and half ago. My 9 year old son is hooked on Avatar now and now just since last night he's a Amon Amarth fan!!!! Lol I agree too.. its great to discover new music! I can't wait to see Avatar with my son here in Wisconsin in a few months!

[@TheProletariat.]

We are gonna see Avatar at Metalfest in Milwaukee.. they got dozens of bands lined up. I just had to look at the lineup and was hoping to see Amon Amarth on there!!! Lol!..

[@happyhippyd6660]

Amon Amarth are bloody legends and what a perfect collab this is (band named after Mount Doom from Tolkien Middle Earth). Video for put your back into the oar is great and live versions of Raise your horns also amazing

[@johncrwarner]

Amusingly the band Saxon who come from Barnsley in Yorkshire were in the historic Danelaw (the bit of Anglosaxon England occupied by the Vikings) You see it in place names. So they likely have some viking blood in them LOL

[@m.ericwatson968]

and some Danes and Norse have Saxon blood

[@m.ericwatson968]

Amon Amarth are a great band live, getting the entire audience into rowing for "Put Your Back Into The Oar" and Saxon are classic metal from the New Wave of British Heavy Metal in the late '70s/early 80's, so you get two great metal bands on one epic track.

[@WNYretiree]

I don't know why this song makes me smile, but it does. I love it.

[@burkmat]

Two of my favourite songs by Amon Amarth you really should add to your list. Cry of the black birds Fafner's gold

[@m.ericwatson968]

Saxon have a new album coming out Jan. 19, "Hell, Fire and Damnation" so there will be brand new Saxon music to review, check out Power and the Glory, a great classic Saxon track.

[@Black.Maiden]

If you like Norse and Viking culture, you found the right band!!🛡⚔ I could recommend you at least 1 song from each of their albums, so you can appreciate how Johan's vocals have evolved so great along the years, but I strongly suggest you listen the ''Jomsviking'' album all along, as it is a concept album which tells a tale in the order of the songs (you'll love ''Raise your Horns'' and ''The Way of Vikings''), and my personal favourites: ''Crack the Sky'', ''Heidrun'', '''Destroyer of the Universe'', ''The Pursuit of Vikings'', ''Raven's flight'', ''Death in Fire'', ''Thousand Years of Oppression'' and ''Wanderer'' (many of them are not the most iconic, but they're fantastic). Enjoy!!!

[@SuperSupermanpunch]

Hahahaha Nice bro🤘 yes this was with the band Saxon and Amon Amarth is a swedish metalband from Sweden, you should try them look for their music videos🎉🎉 Good reaction bro 💯❤

[@NeeceLoneWolf]

Who are Amon Amarth?? Freaking Metal Gods is who they are lol

[@boodis100]

And you dont nowe saxon bande

[@greaper1976]

Don't know too much about Saxon, but for Amon Amarth you want to check out: Father Of The Wolf, Twilight Of The Thundergod, Guardians Of Asgard, Jomsvikings, Blood Eagle, Hel, First Kill, Raise Your Horns, The Way Of Vikings, Shield Wall, Raven' Flight, The Berserker At Stamford Bridge & Fafner's Gold ... and that's just from the last 4 or 5 albums....

[@MrDeaconDemolition]

Saw them this past summer. INSANE STAGE SHOW!!!

[@khelatar]

This is actually not the bands' first collaboration, Johan from AA did guest vocals on the Saxon song 'Predator' a couple of years ago. This one's more elaborate, though.

[@Lydelith]

Love to hear Amon Amarth's front singer, Johan Hegg, together with Biff Byford from Saxon. Their voices fit perfectly together, as well as all the other musicians from both bands.

[@georginad7394]

How the frig did I not know Saxon did a collab with Amon Amarath?! Ok, it only released a month ago, I don't feel quite so bad now, but yeah, I definitely need to catch up on their more recent stuff. Thanks for reminding how great this band is.

[@emmakirk9194]

Raise your horns by Amon Amarth

[@uhtredragnarsson8961]

Amon Amarth is GREAT band..exspecialy live..Johan Hegg vocal..most special vocal in metal music..if want Vikings to invade your mind just turn on Amon Amarth..no mistake with them..album Berserkers and new The Great Heathen Army is best way to understand why we love this band..

[@puressenceuk35]

You seriously need to check out more Saxon, their new album is amazing

[@jimharris367]

Amon Amarth are a good band, Saxon a legendary Metal Gods, who have a new album out shortly 🤘🤘🤘

[@Greywarpfrog]

Amon amarth are good? There f..King legendary too!! " Good" what am i Hearing 🤡

[@jimharris367]

@Greywarpfrog you calling me a clown? Do you not understand the Metal code of respect among our peers? This bullshit is what's wrong in this world, total lack of respect for others opinions. I actually like Amon Amarth, I said they're good, but you insult me because I don't like them as much as you do! That's really fucked up. I spent 25 years playing in various Metal bands, I paid my fucking dues and don't deserve that disrespect, infact no-one does. I suspect the guys in Amon Amarth would tell you to wind your neck in if they saw this.

[@orlathemming8689]

Amon Amarth are so freaking amazing. This song together with this alltime epic band Saxon, was so good. Saxon are the fathers of Heavy Metal, formed in 1979. So we are talking about realy old rocking ppl here 😅 If you want to go on with Amon Amarth, I recommend songs like Shield Wall. Highly underrated. Besides that song, any other song from Amon Amarth is just amazing.

[@kossakken]

Amon Amarth - As Loke falls. You will not be disappointed.

do Amon Amarth's song "Varyags of Miklagaard" you wont regret it ;)

[@reneedevry4361]

LOL😂😏 You were so smooth. I would never have guessed that you had no idea who these guys were during your Valhalelluja reaction🙄🤣 The band is named after a Volcano from Lord of the Rings. They have been producing albums for over 30 years. They are considered Melodic Death Metal. I agree that the lead vocalist Johan has a great voice. "Twilight of the Thunder God" from the album of the same name is a must but I would also like to suggest for later "Under the Northern Star" from the "With Odin on our Side album. A personal favorite. Despite the fact that these guys are mega-popular, for me they are occaisional music. Overall not a huge fan of this entire Death Metal genre.🫤 Very curious at why you are so worried about checking out new bands? 🤔🤔🤔 Worried that the band will be awful and painful to listen to? I have seen reacters just stop a song and say nope, not for me then fill up the rest of the video talking about what genres appeal and/or why. Everyone processes vibrations slightly differently. You can't like everything.😂 Worried about dissappointing new fans? Again that will happen because nobody can do it all and some fans will get overlooked and need to say "hey you have not reacted to ... in a while. Surely not worried about running out of new music as that would be crazy.🤔😂🤭 Anyway, once again thanks for sharing another great video.❤️👍 🥰🥰Hugs from a Canadian Dear🇨🇦

​​@@thelstanegn5348Norman conquest is not related to this. They had some Norse blood but it was so many years later, it was basicslly the French. English beat the vikings. The anglo saxons are related to the vikings too.
