Amon Amarth, Ancient rites, Unleashed, Thyrfing and many more write shit about Vikings. I find it to be very cool. I say why not talk about it here. I know alittle about Vikings and its history. I'd like to here other peoples knowlege of this goofy topic.

For my opening statement, I think it's funny that they almost became muslims, but they couldn't drink mead so they turned to insanity... I mean christianity. That king sold out his people, i say.

I'd say Immortal writes (or wrote that is) a fair amount of stuff about vikings. The word "north" or a word with it as a root is in pretty much every song.

this is true.

Enslaved. Moonsorrow.

Immortal wrote about their own imaginary mythological land based off the general ideas of Norse mythology.

Yes yes, Demonaz was a clever one. And Abbath has my favorite black metal growl, aw man, kicks ass. Oh I got an idea, people already made a thread for fave death vocalist, now it is time for fave black metal vocalist!!

borknagar?

They sing about like... outer space and shit.

Borknagar = sophisticated science black metal

"The Genuine Pulse"
As the salt in the sea, burns in me
Forever, the taste in your mouth is I
Eternising the soul-soaked estate
Solvable as fractioned fragments

The genuine pulse- the link of a thousand senses
The genuine pulse- entire celestial allegiance
The genuine pulse- dense induce of the indomitable
Never to fail, thus existence I sail
Trough the elements of four

vikings are so solvable, serious
aye n aye been in babbyland too long

there's also einherjer

hahaha, Quorthon

How could I forget about Einherjer... so good... Odin surely does own us all.

In the invasion of Englan in 1066 vikings fought against the normans (northern France), which were Vikings at one time as well. The Vikings also founded Russia, named after the Rus which the Vikings were called by many.

I've always liked Manowar's furry boots and shoulder pads

What was the point of this post?

Grant me the powers of thunder
And give me a sword forged in the raging Hell's fire
Lend me the eight legged black stallion
of Odin and I'll have my vengeance,
oh, I'll kill with desire
Vengeance flows like boiling poison through my twisted veins
Tonight I'll blood shed with wrath and set the night on flames
Invincible in battle, wargods hear my deathwish cry
I'll laugh in the face of death, I into glory ride
Snarling breath upon your backs, I'm vengeance incarnate
Now it's time, the moment's comed, stand up now, face my hate
See the fire in my eyes, the final light you'll see
I send you to the darkness with my sword of thunder and steel
I let the bodies lie in shame
I let mighty earth drink their blood
I turn my face to eternal sky
And praise my elders' God
Equimanthorn hear my Hail
You're the mighty four winds night and day
Steel in every warrior's heart and sword
The brave and wise in flesh and soul
Equimanthorn, Equimanthorn, Equimanthorn, Equimanthorn

blame Canada? BLAME QUORTHON!

Rarrrggghhh!

Hey retzam i'm sorry if you don't care about history that effected this crappy world you live in and i'm sorry that you are an ignorant fool. Oh god forbid we talk about anything intelligent. Open up nyou mind.

swamplorddvm said:

I care about history more than you think. We were talking about bands who talk about vikings in their lyrics, we already knew about what a fucking viking is. When people are talking about cool guitar riffs they like do you break in with a arbitrary post about the history of the instrument? When I asked the point of your seemingly random post I was serious. Lighten up asshole.

I write about the Spanish Conquest of Mexico in one of our songs

I am the Queen of Random

yet I guess the connection is that both regions (Scandanavia & Latin America) were given the same choice: accept Christ or DIE

Ok retzam. sorry dude. I shouldn't have called you ignorant or said that you don't care about history. I don't know you, so sorry. But my post wouldn't seem so randon if you read the first post on this thread.

You know what the best joke i heard today was? Jesus and Christianity

I thought it was women's rights

How about "what has 9 arms and sucks? Def Leopard."

swamplorddvm said:

Ah, man. Now I do feel ignorant 1) because you didn't spring back at me with hostility, 2) because your right (about the first post thing, which I did read, but completely forgot about). Ehhh, I hate apologizing on message boards (this sentance is the apology).

It's cool dude im sick of arguing on this web site anyways. I fought with spaldin enough to last a life time. word up yo!

you guys should go to the bombshelter on sunday and hug at the malignancy show.

oh that hurts rev. well...i'll go only if you toss my salad.

...Viking long ships were quick and good for shallow water but not very safe or comfortable, many Vikings would die at sea instead at battle.

wait..why does the rev asking you to go to a show hurt?
and he only tosses my salad..(umm whatever dirty thing that means)

lol. I was being sarcastic about the hugging thing. ha...salad!

swamplorddvm said:

What does "tossing salad" mean though? Is it related to vikings?

I could be related to Vikings. you never know! It's When you lick someones ass-hole. twat fun! oh and Rev, i dont mean to be an ass but on that quick reply thing you wrote (quck)reply. just saying dude. we'll live though.

"We storm ahead with swords and shields. For victory we ride. We fight the world on this battlefield to re-erect the Pagan pride. Draw the blood, of those in our way. It's victory or die. With pounding, raging, fury we slay. Now Christian hounds will pay!!!

litacore said:

well apparently us latin americans chose to accept... 9 years of catholic school made me like this... hehehe

The Vikings conquered much of Britain but were unable to win a Super Bowl after four tries, fucking fags.

How the hell did they sail all the way to Minessota anyway? Sill Vikings.

there is actually a rock in hampton that the viking's carved runes into.... Leif Erickson was in NH before Columbus.

I thought leif erickson ruled...
but he was a freaking christian missionary!

Whatever dude, I don't see what is the big deal about Christianity anymore. The days where people are brutally slaughtered for not being Christian are over, so what is all the fuss about? "It is the ultimate lie!", well then don't believe it, there is no need to critisize those who do. I am not Christian, that is enough for me.

Religion in general is retarded in this day in age. and the age of christian killing non-christians is only dorment. It will happen again.

swamplorddvm said:

Well, dude, to be fair, not all religion is filled with death and blood. Wiccans are the hippies of the modern world. Speaking of the Christian- NonChristian thing, check out the lyrics of Montsegur, off Iron Maiden's Dance of Death. Great lyrics.
