How you got into AA?

[PaganBlood]

Just wondering how everyone else heard of AA????

I first found them on some Metal Blade Death metal Meister.......... im pretty sure i think it was like 4 years ago when Once sent from the golden hall had just came out!!!

 

[Leary666]

was downloading some mp3's dl OSTGH by chance....then picked a random song while reading shit online....wasn't really paying attention, but it was the song amon amarth, and all of a sudden that killer riff at 1:43 caught my ear and I was like wait a min this shit rules! been my favorite band ever since

 

[Patric]

Many years ago, when I got a free CD w. various artists that came a long a Swedish metal mag. I heard all the Gothenburg crap before and I already knew of Cannibal Corpse and co. Then I heard Bleed For Ancient Gods (second song I think) and it striked me how immenlsy fucking raw yet eerily hooky this song was and I had never heard death metal like this before. Salute!

i was at century media's website, and the name got my attention because it's tolkeinien. nerd.

 

[Slayed Necros]

I first downloaded 'The Dragns Flight across the Waves' about two or so years back..was hooked since then.

 

[Farmi]

friend of mine maked me listen to some stuff of the osftgh, from then on i was captured by AA and will never be free again...

A friend of mine and I were in a music store. He handed me "The Avenger" and said "Dude, this shit is really good. I mean, the last track has the sound of a ship going through the water. It doesn't get more viking than that." And I usually took this kid a little light hearted, but I'll admit, the thought that a band put the sound of a boat in waves interested me. Not to mention the song names, as well as the cover work for the album. Three things I usually could give a fuck about (art, song titles, and friends oppinions) actually got me into AA.

buddy let me borrow avenger. but i didnt get realy hooked until i herd the crusher and once sent... when i herd friends of the suncross and fury divine.

 

[AxeOfDarkness]

and the first song that drew me in was the last with pagan blood

 

[LunarTower]

Hrm... I was at a CD store getting Bolt Thrower's 'Mercenary' when I spotted the Avenger, the artwork was fucking sweet and I have heard Amon Amarth through reading Tolkien, add the fact that it was on Metalblade and I knew of the band...

40 minutes later and listening to Metalwrath like 5 times in a row, I knew Id found my favorite 'Death' Metal band ever.

And then I listened to The Last with Pagan Blood... heh

 

[Bearded Axe]

My friends luckly, forced me to listen to them

 

[Cimmerian]

I remember it clearly: I was about to go on a family vacation to Iceland of all places in the summer of 98' and was making a trip to the record store beforehand. Well, my eye stuck on osftgh, and I was fucking hooked...coincidentally an amazingly good fit for the trip of choice. I must have listend to that album twice everyday of that holiday.

It was all due to SOD Sampler #12 (Pulverised Records) - Burning Creation and later on Deathmeister Volume 1 (Metal Blade/Death Records) - Victorious March. The last one being a quite good compilation.

Samer here. I was searching for a different song, and that title caught my eye. Once I heard it, I was hooked...though I found it 3-4 years ago.
(that was one of the reasons I wanted the OSFTGH shirt so badly - it was that album that I first bought and was a song from it that got me into AA).

 

[Surtur]

I first read something about AA in various german metal mags and then I got interested and I listened to them. I first bought the Avenger, I loved bleed for ancient gods and bought the other cd`s.........

 

[Syndrome]

I think it was Everlost on this forum who tipped me

 

[Aggressor]

Being into the whole Viking thing, I had to check them out when I heard about them...
Downloaded a couple of songs and then bought Once Sent From the Golden Hall...

 

[Judas]

My friend made me listen to releasing surturs fire, and then i was trapped.
