Poll - Best song off the Varangian Way?

[Tatsumaru]

For me it's a really tough decision between Miklagard Overture and Five Hundred and One. Even though the whole album is amazing, those 2 songs really stand out to me because of the huge amount of EPIC running through them. In the end I'm a sucker for long epic tracks, so I vote for Miklagard overture.

Even though I didn't like the female choir at the end of the song at first (didn't know the lyrics back then and I felt Nygard should have ''ended the album''), I grew to love it and... it's just so damn awesome. A great end to a solid story and an amazing album.

 

[Iron Mammoth]

To Holmgard and Beyond is for me!! But the album is very solid throughout.

 

[PowerMetalJesus]

Love the whole album but Holmgard and Beyond is just too epic not to choose.

 

[British Viking]

The Dnieper Rapids is a really overlooked song. Can't believe only one person voted it.

 

[cholo11]

Fields of gold. I just love that song.

 

[Black Core]

Love the whole album but Holmgard and Beyond is just too epic not to choose.

.

 

[Overlord Purple Rainbow]

I would say "Five Hundred and One" as well...

 

[Fenrisúlfr]

To chose which track is best is like choosing the best flavour of Ben and Jerry's...that said, 'Fields of Gold' is my favourite.

I really love the whole album, but I really really love To Holmgard And Beyond, A Portage To The Unknown, Cursed Be Iron, In The Court Of Jarisleif, Five Hundred And One and The Dnieper Rapids, but I think I voted for The Dnieper Rapids because I think the beginning to it is awesome

 

[GameFreac]

It's hard.....I think it's a tie between Miklagard Overture and In the Court of Jarisleif

Both are epic songs.

 

[Sorrow-]

I have three songs that I listen to the most: A Portage to the Unknown, Fields of Gold and Five Hundred And One. It's pretty hard to choose the best but...I'll say Five Hundred And One.

 

[_Zsuzsa_]

Cursed be Iron always gets my juices flowing.

 

[metalheadjohn666]

"Cursed Be Iron" for me.

Finally the album is starting to grow on me, after 4 or 5 listens. Still no "Battle Metal" however.

 

[seraph7]

What's going on? In the Court of Jarisleif and The Dnepier rapids are getting utterly pwned in the poll I see...

I still think you could have done a wicked video for 'Jarisleif' but it was a B side for 'Rasputin' instead

 

[bodom_bantam]

Holmgard and Beyond.... Perfect starter

 

[Starstruck]

In order of preference:

1. Miklagard Overture
2. To Holmgard And Beyond
3. Dnieper Rapids/Fields Of Gold/A Portage To The Unknown/Cursed Be Iron/Five Hundred And One
8. In The Court Of Jarisleif

The number 1, 2 & 8 are pretty clear for me, but the others are too hard to put in any particular order. I think that there's no other album by anyone where all the songs fit so well within the storyline.

 

[Kenneth R.]

Given that the whole album slays, any answer is a correct answer. I'll go with Cursed Be Iron right now.

 

[Magneilium]

Miklagard Overture, any day of the week. I'm surprised at the amount of love for Cursed be Iron - it's not a bad song, but it fits in least with the rest of the album(not being part pf the journey/story).

Miklagard Overture, however, is the best song. And by that I mean out of the songs, you know, in the world.

 

[Cari]

Your opinion entirely. For me its Five Hundred and One, although Miklagard Overture and The Dnieper Rapids don't run far behind

completely the same for me here

 

[requiem]

I went with Miklargard Overture. They're all great, but this one has the little something extra. Probably just because it's longer so you get more Turisas for your buck!
