Amon Amarth - War of the Gods (OFFICIAL)

Order at:
Amon Amarth's "War of the Gods" from their album, "Surtur Rising".

[GreatZeroZeroElZero]

This song always gets me, back standing up and straight back into the pit.

[izakvandyk]

Arguably one of thee best mid riff parts in melo death metal. Absolutely hair raising.

[dennisvopalensky]

Right now surtur is not the only thing rising

[AntonTeuton]

amon amarth is one of the greatest melodic bands of swedish metal, their viking melodies are truly amazing, as they would be called from the outside they are representatives of the swedish world, swedish culture

[nwowarlightchannel]

One of the best songs to listen when lifting weights! The riff is just too awesome!

[PatTheGallant]

I thought my metal phase would end at 18 right when I get my shit together and went off to college and all that fun stuff... 2 years after graduating college I'm still listening to this at work while developing games.

[Asiandriver]

That solo in the middle of the song is just epic!

[amonamarthrules]

0:51 that's just my favourite fucking riff of all times

[Eamenic]

Brothers! May we meet on the battlefield in solidarity, or in Valhalla as slain heroes! A toast, to death in glorious battle, and honorable feats in life!

[ESPSJ]

Norse mythology and metal has got to be the best combination since socks and sandals.

[saswatsinha]

3:27 Careful with this part. I felt tremors around my room. A few of my vases shattered. I am suing Amon Amorth for damaging personal property through sheer awesome music.

[xaxaxa]

This is not just a common death metal band for me ( not a huge raw death metal fan...I like black metal, melodic death, symphonic death, blackened death etc...) Their riffs are fucking brilliant !....They have emotion while they're playing their stuff...I fuckin' Love amon amarth....

[Vycrance]

Just picked up the Surtur Rising album. If any of you haven't yet, you really should. Support great music, that way we can make sure Amon Amarth will continue for quite some time. :-)

1:21 In a fit of violent rage, Bieber's blood was shed. Went to Odin's court, they sent, Bieber's severed head!

[isislilith]

i'm a girl and this song gave me a beard. Hail Odin.

[dannyfu]

I'm only a teenager and I think I've grown a small, but visible goatee months later after listening to Amon Amarth.

[Caterpai]

War, the very first war of our world,
When the treacherous witch was killed
Three times burned and three times born,
By searing flames was Gullveig torn.
Death, Odin hurled his spear off with great force
Deep into the great vana-fyrd
Battle horns gave up their sound
And Asgard walls razed to the ground.
The Vanir felt deceived
Hone was a fool
Without Mimir at his side
Hone could not rule
In a fit of violent rage
Mimir's blood was shed
And to Odin's court they sent Mimir's severed head
Truce, so a brittle and frail peace was forged
And to ensure that the peace remained.
Njordr and Freyr to Asgard came
And Hon' and Mim to Vanaheim
Death, see the furious gods wanting blood,
Odin knew that a raging war
Would not bring them any gain
Just leave a black and bitter stain.
Odin tog huvudet och
Smorde det med orter
Som hindrar det
Fran att ruttna
Han kvad sedan
Trollsanger over det
Sa att Mimer ater
Kunde tala till honom
The Vanir felt deceived
Hone was a fool
Without Mimir at his side
Hone could not rule
In a fit of violent rage
Mimir's blood was shed
And to Odin's court they sent Mimir's severed head (x3)

[iamdeathu]

It's no coincidence that I hit puberty around the same time that I started listening to Amon Amarth!

[pYkolYk]

2O24 still here with this awesome song!

[AngryIntellectual]

I'm no expert on drumming, but I've listened to tons of Metal and been paying attention to the drumming in many of the songs. The technical prowess that Andersson possesses is very well worth noting -- in this song, especially \m/
